Adelaide, Kangaroo Island & Southern Outback Accommodation

Australia’s northernmost island resort, located right on the Great Barrier Reef (240kms north of Cairns and 27kms off the coast of North Queensland), offers a very special island experience with 24 soft powdery white sand beaches and secluded stylish accommodation decorated in elegant sand and sea tones.

Accessible via a magical 30 minute helicopter transfer from Townsville, or one hour from Cairns, this coral fringed island hideaway sits within its own pristine national park amidst one of the world’s greatest natural wonders - the Great Barrier Reef.

In Greek Qualia translates as collections of deeply sensory experiences which this stylish resort delivers in spades. Positioned on Hamilton Island but well away from the madding crowd. On arrival your private golf buggy will transport you from the ordinary to the extraordinary in the space of 10 minutes. As arrival entrances go Qualia is up there with the best and the views from the Long Pavilion are nothing short of spectacular, but then they should be since the resort is slap bang in the middle of the world’s largest marine park

Lord Howe Island is one of Australia’s secret treasures, an unspoilt sanctuary which a mere 280 people are lucky enough to call home. From the moment your plane sweeps in over the island’s sea cliffs, skims across the surf break that rims the lagoon and drops you in the shadow of two dramatic volcanic peaks, you’ll be in no doubt that you have landed in paradise! The island – which is eleven kilometres long and two kilometres wide – has been recognised as an exceptional natural environment, with flora and fauna conservation beginning with the declaration of a botanic reserve in 1882 and culminating with a UNESCO World Heritage listing in 1982. Despite its feeling of remoteness, Lord Howe is easily accessible – less than a two hour flight from Sydney or Brisbane.

At first glimpse you would be forgiven for thinking you have arrived in Seychelles, for the pristine white coves, studded with immense granite rocks are certainly more indicative of the Indian Ocean, but we can assure you this is most definitely Australia. Bedarra is a little known private island where you really can escape the outside world. There are just 8 private villas, tucked into 45 hectares of spectacular rainforest and with no more than 16 guests at any one time; this really is a place of solitude, exclusivity and immense natural beauty.

InterContinental Hayman Island a stylish, luxurious escape in the beautiful Whitsundays. Forget taxis and limousines... accessing this island is all about arriving in style!

Hamilton Island is a buzzy island located amongst Queensland’s 74 Whitsunday Islands. We love the laid back vibe here - you ca do as much or a little as you like. The island has its own airport so it is easily accessible from Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. It has its own marina with bars, restaurants and shops, its own zoo and even a golf course. The Great Barrier Reef can be accessed by boat, seaplane or helicopter and the famous Whitehaven Beach is a must do whilst in the region. Those seeking rest and relaxation can indulge in the spa or simply laze around the pool or no the beach.

Arajilla Retreat is perfectly situated to explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Lord Howe Island, an awe-inspiring tropical paradise in the South Pacific, 420 nautical miles (a 2-hour flight) northeast of Sydney. Often described as 'the most beautiful island on the planet,' it's a sentiment we wholeheartedly agree with!
