Lizard Island

A Relais & Châteaux member, Lizard Island is located within a protected national park off the coast of Tropical North Queensland. Australia’s only luxury all-inclusive resort positioned directly on the Great Barrier Reef, staying at this idyllic island retreat ensures unparalleled access to the reef’s astonishing biodiversity. Just a handful of elegant rooms, suites and villas lie scattered along the island’s coastline, meaning guests can be immersed in the extraordinary natural beauty of Lizard Island without compromising on privacy and tranquillity.

Days at Lizard Island revolve around the reef and sea – whether it’s snorkelling directly from the secluded white-sand beaches, diving amongst kaleidoscopic marine life across the wider reef, exploring hidden coves by boat or tucking into gourmet picnics on deserted patches of sand. Sumptuous, Relais & Châteaux-curated fine dining, indulgent wellness treatments at the Essentia Day Spa, scenic sunset cruises and endless ocean vistas cap the experience, promising a refined yet laidback and deeply involved escape in one of the world's most spectacular settings.
