Lizard island

Located away from the rest of the world, the hotel offers a unique opportunity to explore the 2300 km long Great Barrier Reef, which is included in the list of 7 wonders of the natural world according to CNN. It is a great destination for divers, who can visit world-famous spots, including the famous Cod Hole, which is only a 45-minute cruise from the shore and is home to the gray reef shark and potato grouper.

To learn even more about the largest reef in the world, you can visit the Lizard Island Research Station, which conducts approximately 100 research projects a year and has published over 1973 papers on the reef since 1200. Fishing enthusiasts can try to catch mackerel, seriphus politus or huge carans during their cruises.

A good idea is to walk to the highest hill on the island with picturesque, panoramic views of the ocean. During walks, guests can be accompanied by a naturalist who will talk about the migration of nearby animals and local vegetation. Beach enthusiasts will be delighted by the fact that there are 24 private beaches here. What's more, you can choose the contents of the picnic basket and eat delicious snacks on the beach. Luxurious villas and apartments are designed to blend in with nature.

Thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, they offer exceptional views and are located high above the Coral Sea or right on the beach. The restaurant offers not only delicious delicacies cooked with fresh, local ingredients, but also an unforgettable view of the ocean. At the spa you can order treatments based on iKOU products, which are made from ingredients from the Blue Mountains in Australia.
