Orpheus Island Resort

Located on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of North Queensland, Orpheus Island Resort is an exclusive retreat with luxury facilities for the discerning traveller seeking quality experiences in a natural, relaxing and rejuvenating environment. Surrounded by 1,300 hectares of pristine national park, this unspoilt paradise offers the perfect sanctuary from the stresses of everyday life. With a limit of 42 guests serviced by our attentive but unobtrusive staff, Orpheus is a sophisticated first class retreat offering premium service and total seclusion. This is further enhanced by the exclusion of telephones, televisions, day-trippers, nightclubs or children under 15 years.

All guest luxury accommodation is located on the beachfront surrounded by lush tropical gardens and only a short stroll from our multi award winning restaurant. Then of course there is the cuisine - one of the true highlights of an "Orpheus Experience". Our setting is a relaxed open-air restaurant with wonderful views across the ocean. Gourmet Dining at Orpheus is an indulgence - from breakfast, to alfresco lunches in the courtyard, and finally each evening a seven course degustation-style gourmet dinner. Our chef prepares a new menu daily with the emphasis being on seafood and exotic delicacies. Complimenting the peace and tranquillity of Orpheus Island Resort, the activities are plentiful. Imagine a lazy day in paradise with a picnic lunch on your own private beach with time to snorkel with an amazing array of tropical fish and coral. Or for the more adventurous, why not take a day trip diving on the outer reef, or board your own motorised dinghy and explore the many secluded bays of the island's national park. Alternatively, you can opt to do nothing at all and relax in a hammock by the beach. The options are endless. One certainty is that at Orpheus you will find the perfect sanctuary
