The northernmost island resort on the Great Barrier Reef, reached by a one-hour light-aircraft flight from Cairns, occupies a granite island ringed by 24 beaches within a national park some 27 kilometres off the Queensland coast. Accommodation is limited to a spread of villas, suites and pavilions, and the operation runs on an all-inclusive basis — meals, most drinks and use of dinghies and snorkelling gear included — reflecting the remoteness of the setting. Fringing reef sits directly offshore, and the surrounding waters are known for diving at sites such as the Cod Hole and for access to the outer reef. A research station shares the island with the resort. A member of Luxury Lodges of Australia and Relais & Chateaux, it is a single, self-contained property whose appeal is inseparable from its isolation.
