The Resort
Lizard Island is an exclusive boutique style resort, undoubtedly one of Australia's premier resorts offering total indulgence in paradise. Located one hour's flight north of Cairns, the island is remote, ruggedly beautiful and surrounded by some of the finest beaches and clearest waters of any Great Barrier Reef island.
The Lizard Island resort offers magnificent reefs and is internationally renowned for its underwater adventures, superb cuisine, discreet yet attentive service and stunning natural environment. It recently underwent a $13 million rebuild.
Our consultants regularly visit Lizard Island to improve their product knowledge - view some of their recent photos here.
