Lizard Island

The Great Barrier Reef is a World Heritage-listed, natural inspiration. Lizard Island is uniquely located right on the reef, with 24 powdery-white sand beaches, more than 1,000 hectares of national park and the bluest of clear blue ocean views from every angle.

Lizard Island's forty villas and suites have been designed to be in harmony with the natural beauty of the island and its surrounding ocean waters. In addition, there is The House and Cottage, a supremely private villa with adjoining residence.

Lizard Island's food philosophy is simple and delicious, embracing the local, fresh produce of the region. Menus change daily and guests can also enjoy gourmet picnic lunches on secluded beaches or beachside degustation dining for two at sunset.

A short one-hour scenic private flight from Cairns, Lizard Island is truly secluded from the rest of the world, offering total relaxation, privacy, and isolation along with a multitude of activities – an idyllic destination for incentive groups or events.

Lizard Island provides guests with an abundance of opportunities to explore and be educated about the reef ecostystem, with regular scheduled interpretive nature walks and presentations on marine and terrestrial systems, delivered by the resort’s resident naturalists.
