Here you can swim straight off the beach to an endless garden of coral where the waters are teeming with fish and marine life. Being located in a World Heritage Listed area, you can expect the outdoors to be number one on your to-do list. It's what you don't see around this island that makes the resort so special. You won't see any buildings above the tree line. And you won't bump into any day trippers either. The reef experience on this island is exclusively for guests, a unique experience few other resorts in the world offer. This island is world famous for its fantastic scuba diving and snorkeling. Experience some of Australia's best dive spots - more than 20 dive sites are available, half of which are only 15 minutes from the beach. An amazing array of animal life can be discovered throughout the year, such as the delightful Green and Loggerhead Turtles.
