Bedarra Island Resort - Great Barrier Reef - Queensland - Australia
Bedarra Island Resort - Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia

When you simply don't wish to be found, when you need to escape, unwind and experience the finer things in life, there is no better place to disappear to than Voyages Bedarra Island. This is Australia's most exclusive resort, an indulgent tropical private haven, lying off the coast of Cairns.

At Bedarra, guests can do as they wish, when they wish. A maximum of just 32 guests are accommodated in 16 secluded Villas, each hidden in the rainforest, only minutes from the beach. Superbly appointed, each has a separate living area, spacious bathroom and king size bed. On the balcony, guests can relax and contemplate the beauty and calm of this elegant retreat.

The cuisine is exquisite here. The tantalising menus change daily, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and exotic tropical produce. A popular lunch option is a romantic beach picnic with a gourmet hamper.

While the focus on Bedarra Island is on peace and relaxation, there are also many activities to enjoy, such as catamaran sailing, paddle-skiing, fishing, snorkelling and diving day trips to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as motorised dinghies for exploring the island's picturesque, private beaches. Feel like more indulgence? Enjoy a relaxing therapeutic massage on the beach or in the privacy of your Villa.

Children 12 years and under are not catered for on Bedarra Island.
