Lizard Island

Lizard Island

Accessible only by private plane, Lizard Island is an isolated «wild» island at the northern tip of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Forty chic, minimalist suites welcome guests seeking exclusivity to discover one of the best-preserved aquatic paradises in the world. The promise is kept, with 24 dream beaches and lagoons reserved for just a handful of rooms, frequented by diving enthusiasts from all over the world. Nearly 1,500 species of fish, 400 types of coral and 215 bird species bring the reef to life, which can be enjoyed at one's own pace: scuba diving for the energetic, snorkeling for the contemplative, glass-bottom kayaking to keep your head above water, and birdwatching for discerning ornithologists. The 40 rooms and suites showcase immaculate white and natural wood so as not to steal the limelight from nature, which reigns supreme. To enhance your stay, Lizard has not hesitated to call upon fine chefs and to offer a divine spa inspired by Aboriginal traditions.
