Resorts

Each Australian resort is famous for its own qualities and features, offering accommodation and entertainment for luxury travelers. Among the luxury Island Resorts we can list: Bedarra Island Resort, Lizard Island Resort and Orpheus Island Resort. If you want to head to the best diving and snorkeling resort, you should book a hotel on Lizard Island Resort or Heron Island Resort.

Who goes to Island Resorts?

Island resorts are ideal for honeymooners, divers, families or just about anyone looking for a place to relax in exotic scenery. Obviously the facilities and intimacy offered by such resorts mean that prices start at around AUD 2,000 and can be as much as AUD 6,000 per week for 2 persons.

Activities

Among the typical activities taking place in an Australian Island Resort we can list: diving, snorkeling, swimming, reef walking, coral viewing, sailing, yachting, fishing, jet skiing, parasailing, kayaking, canoeing and whale watching.

Several island resorts of the Great Barrier Reef are built on coral cays, and national parks are very common there as well. Obviously, snorkeling and diving are two of the main activities in those areas, but some of the islands and reefs are located very far from the resorts and require access via resort day-trips or rented boats.
