Lizard Island
STAY
A tropical wonder on the Great Barrier Reef, Lizard Island Resort (3) is pure catnip for sunseekers with a penchant for underwater adventures. Gently luxurious suites spill out from the palm-fringed gardens and onto the shore, enveloped in soothing whites and sky-blues. You’ll spot bright-eyed geckos zipping in and out of the slatted sun decks and a glorious sense of privacy pervades. If it’s blissed-out beach time you’ve been craving, this is the place for you and, unsurprisingly, the diving is downright incredible.
