Experience
An abundance of rare birds, plants and marine life combine to make Lord Howe Island a remarkable destination.
With Capella as a luxe base camp, take to rainforest walking tracks and explore remote rocky coves alive with magnificent birdlife or valleys brimming with ancient plants. Climb to the summit of Mt Gower, rated as one of the world’s best day walks or comb for shells on pristine white-sanded beaches.
David Attenborough once described Lord Howe Island as “…so extraordinary it is almost unbelievable…few islands, surely, can be so accessible, so remarkable, yet so unspoilt.”
The clear, warm Lord Howe waters are ablaze with colour. Soft and hard corals, sea turtles and a riot of fish inhabit intriguing submarine cities sheltered within the reef. Kingfish, tuna and marlin cruise beyond. Take nothing but fins and snorkel or glass-bottomed boat, or dive deeper to explore the underwater world.
Guests can explore the island’s many white-sanded beaches, walk through ancient subtropical rainforests and rock-hop on the world’s southern-most coral reef which reveals its submarine treasures at low tide.
Take time to indulge, unwind and revitalise in the petite Capella Spa. A menu of signature spa treatments uses the Australian – made alcheme spa care range to sooth and nourish.
Treatments are created to combine precious regenerating qualities of the Australian earth, sea & spirit. Choose a treatment that meets the mood, from a refreshing ‘Capella Signature’ to the indulgent three-hour ‘Dreaming’. ‘Sacred Stone Therapy’ draws upon the radiant power of warmed basalt stones gathered from the Island’s windward beaches.
Complimentary at Capella you’ll find adult mountain bikes, snorkelling equipment and backpacks. E- Bikes and an electric buggy are available for hire.
