Nestled on the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, on the north-east corner of Australia, Lizard Island Resort is truly an exclusive retreat–even in a country renowned for superlatives. Aside from a biological research laboratory, the resort is the only building in this protected national park, which looks like a Robinson Crusoe-style desert island. Covered in lush vegetation, the island is home to 24 white sand beaches caressed by a turquoise lagoon. Explore this tropical paradise on a hike, led by naturalist guides, and you will encounter large lizards and colonies of birds, while magical dives on the reef offer the opportunity to swim with sea turtles and thousands of multi-colored fish. Elegant and refined guest rooms, suites and villas all offer breathtaking views of the ever-changing ocean. Stays include meals served at Salt Water restaurant or on two private gazebos overlooking Anchor Bay, offering unrivaled panoramic views of the sunset.
