Lizard Island is without question, one of Australia's premier resorts.

This remote, private paradise with 24 powdery white beaches is located right on the Great Barrier Reef with coral gardens directly off shore.

Lizard Island is Australia' s northern most island resort, located 240 kilometres north of Cairns and 27 kilometres off the coast of north Queensland. It is a National Park covering 1,000 hectares with sandy beaches and a lagoon.

Here you can snorkel off a secluded beach to discover a garden of giant clams, many a metre long and some reputed to be over 120 years old. And there are 23 more beaches just waiting to be explored.

Lizard Island is renowned for its diving. At the world famous 'Cod Hole', you'll come face to face with a massive yet curious potato cod swimming right up to inspect you with child-like curiosity.

There are many magnificent walks, and on at least one you can expect to glimpse a monitor, the lizard after which the island was named.

Healthy appetites are rewarded with superb dining using fresh local produce and prepared with European and Asian influence.
