    Lizard Island is a place like nowhere else.

Lizard Island enjoys a tropical climate and the average year-round temperature is a sublime 27°C (81°F).

    With just 40 rooms and villas and a selection of private beaches, guests can escape to a private beach for a day exploring the reef, taking in the incredible nature that surrounds you, all while never seeing another person.

    Exploring and experiencing Lizard Island can be enjoyed by taking part in a number of guided tours, either to the inner and outer reefs, the Research Station or on nature walks and challenging hikes to the top of Cook’s Look. Alternatively, you can explore the island on a self-guided tour, taking in the beauty at your own pace.

    Resort amenities include a book and games library, Island boutique, freshwater swimming pool, tennis court (night and day), gymnasium, and The Lounge with day loungers and beds offering relaxing views over Anchor Bay, the lush, rolling gardens, and swaying palms, you can sit, read, chat and simply take in the natural wonder that is Lizard Island.

    The Essentia Day Spa is designed as a natural extension of the calm tranquility of the resort, encouraging you to relax, rejuvenate and re-balance. Private and couple treatment rooms and a full menu of relaxing and therapeutic treatments are offered.

    In terms of dining, the resort offers simple and relaxed cuisine at the Salt Water Restaurant with a focus on fresh seafood and superb local produce, drawing on the flavors of modern Australia, Asia, and Europe.

    Alternatively, guests can enjoy a Private Beach Picnic Hamper and take a private dinghy to motor to a beach of your choice, or have one of the Marine team drop you off and collect you again at a predetermined time (private beach picnics are included in your Lizard Island stay).

Finally, in the evening enjoy pre-dinner drinks at the Driftwood Bar whilst the sunsets. The Lizard Island wine and beverage list is inclusive in your stay. However, if you wish to select from the much acclaimed Cellar list or our electric cocktail creations there will be an additional charge.
