Indulge in luxury at the Barrier Reefs' most famous resort

Although the bustle of civilization is left far behind on Lizard, there is still a most pleasing element of sophistication, an ample supply of rare delights.

Could it be the tantalizing array of island activities, or the comfort and appointments of the island's accommodations? Perhaps... but almost certainly, the fine food and excellent hospitality play a major role in the overwhelming contentment you will enjoy.

Dive Sites

The famous dive site Cod Hole is just a one hour boat ride away from Lizard Island Resort. Also the Ribbon Reefs are quickly and easily accessible from the resort. There is fantastic snorkelling in Watson's Bay.
