Today’s Travel + Luxury magazine features ‘Lizard King’, an article by writer George Epaminondas showcasing a striking new private hideaway on Lizard Island known as ‘The House’.

“Until recently, the island’s namesake resort – beloved by nature fanatics and wayward romantics alike – was the only bolthole on this splendid patch of the Great Barrier Reef. But earlier this year a holiday home was unveiled on the island’s west coast. Rising from a granite bluff and graced with an expansive outlook, the house is a bold study in modernist design. There may not be another high-end beach bungalow like this one anywhere in the world. At first blush, this aesthetic marvel projects an air of tropical brutalism. It’s all concrete surfaces and daring contours, garlanded in acacia, eucalypt and pandanus. On closer inspection, the austerity of this concrete citadel dissolves…

…One of the home’s knockout features is a curvilinear kitchen island. Meticulously assembled from layers of celadon quartzite, it resembles an avant-garde bracelet. Don’t get too enamoured. The house comes with a private chef and two avid attendants, so you won’t be using it much. The team are employed by Lizard Island resort, a short drive away. The abode meshes privacy and proximity: it’s close enough to the resort for access to spa treatments and diving excursions, but removed enough to feel utterly secluded.” – George Epaminondas, Travel + Luxury magazine.
