Australia’s northernmost island resort, located right on the Great Barrier Reef (240kms north of Cairns and 27kms off the coast of North Queensland), Lizard offers a very special island experience with 24 soft powdery white sand beaches and secluded stylish accommodation decorated in elegant sand and sea tones. Here you can snorkel straight off the beach or take a motorised dinghy to a secluded cove for a romantic picnic lunch with Champagne. Accommodation on Lizard seamlessly blends inside and out in a stylish open plan design - the essence of chic Australian beachside living. The contemporary Anchor Bay Suites nestle in a broad sweeping arc along Anchor Bay with captivating sea views from a large verandah and a pathway which leads directly to the beach whilst the Sunset Point Villas provide a calm retreat perched high on Sunset Ridge with views through the trees to the sea and a private deck with native timber chairs and a hammock. Right on the point of Sunset Ridge, with a fabulous panorama over Anchor Bay, Osprey Island and Sunset Beach, Lizard’s most exclusive accommodation choice, the ‘Pavilion’, offers the ultimate in privacy and indulgence. ‘The Pavilion’ boasts an expansive sundeck with a plunge pool - and a private path leads to a secluded spot where chairs and a table have been perfectly positioned to make the most of the sea breezes and stunning views. Champagne on arrival and even high powered binoculars are just some of the extra touches provided for ‘Pavilion’ guests. Lizard’s open verandah restaurant, which overlooks the beach, provides the perfect setting for enjoying the island’s superb cuisine. The menu changes daily and all meals and beverages are included in your stay. For that special occasion, you can dine in a private gazebo on the beach. A variety of watersports and equipment including catamaran sailing, glass bottom boat trips, basic fishing gear, snorkelling and diving are all available from the Beach Club. Lizard boasts its own beautiful fringing reefs and it is also just a 50 minute boat ride from the world famous ‘Cod Hole’ dive site. Lizard’s Azure Spa offers a variety of revitalising treatments and there is also a freshwater swimming pool, gymnasium and a tennis court. For those feeling energetic, it’s worth taking the strenuous walk up to the island’s peak, Cook’s Look - so named because Captain Cook climbed to this very point to chart a course out to sea through the maze of reefs during his epic voyage in 1770 - and like Cook, you too will be rewarded with breathtaking views. Access to Lizard is via a light aircraft charter or 1 hour scheduled flight from Cairns. Children 12 years and under are not catered for.
