Australian Resorts - Lizard Island Resort North Queensland

Lizard Island is unique. It Australia’s northern most island resort, located right on the Great Barrier Reef with 24 powdery white beaches. You can snorkel from a secluded beach to find 120 year old clams up to a metre long… or dive the famous ‘Cod Hole’ to discover the massive but friendly potato cod come and discover you… take a picnic lunch to your own private beach… or take one of many magnificent walks and perhaps bump into a Monitor, the lizard that gives the island its name. Meals and most activities are included in the tariff and while this island is remote, access is easy.

For the active there’s a gymnasium, night & day tennis court, watersports and a freshwater pool to swim in or laze around. The Pavilion Day Spa offers massages, facials and other body treatments.
