With sculpted mountain peaks rising dramatically from jewel-toned waters, Lord Howe Island is a place of extraordinary contrasts – often referred to as ‘the last paradise’ and is surrounded by the world’s southernmost coral reef.
We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present and emerging.
World Heritage listed in 1982 for its unique beauty and diversity, remarkable geology and its rare collection of birds, plants and marine life, Lord Howe is surrounded by the world’s southernmost coral reef. Crystal clear waters teem with marine life and rare coral, protected as part of the Lord Howe Island Marine Park.
With Capella Lodge as a luxe base camp, take to rainforest walking tracks, explore the island’s many white-sanded beaches, walk through ancient subtropical rainforests and rock-hop on the world’s southernmost coral reef which reveals its submarine treasures at low tide.
Set at the foot of the towering Mounts Gower and Lidgbird, Capella Lodge welcomes spectacular views of the mountains, ocean, subtropical reef and rolling green pastures. Nine island-style guest suites offer a relaxed, barefoot luxury vibe designed to reflect Lord Howe’s pristine natural environment.
