Lizard Island

Secluded within a National Park enriched with beautiful and diverse Australian wildlife and bounded by private beaches paired with personalized service, it is truly like nowhere else.

Lizard Island is located right on the Great Barrier Reef, offering sensational diving opportunities, including the famous Cod Hole. The island is only a 50-minute boat ride to the legendary Outer Great Barrier Reef. Snorkelers are rewarded for little effort with coral gardens, brightly colored tropical fish and giant clams just moments from the island's beaches. Discover secluded, pristine beaches by foot or by motorized dinghy with a gourmet picnic just for two. The Salt Water Restaurant will take you on a culinary adventure with the menu changing daily.

Choose from only 40 contemporary spacious suites and villas with picturesque views, a private deck, high-end amenities and state of the art facilities for you to immerse yourself in.
