orpheus island resort

Located on the Great Barrier Reef between Cairns and Townsville, Orpheus Island Resort is a romantic coral fringed hideaway. Situated in its own National Park, Orpheus caters for the discerning traveller seeking quality accommodation and experiences in a natural, relaxing and rejuvenating environment.

Your holiday at Orpheus Island commences the moment you board the seaplane in Townsville to travel over the unbelievable blue waters and enchanted isles rising from the Coral Sea beneath. As soon as you arrive you will know that nothing but tranquillity, nature and beauty exist in this unspoilt paradise. Without the intrusions of telephones, televisions, day-trippers, nightclubs or children under 15 years, Orpheus Island is your exclusive retreat offering premium service and total seclusion, to a maximum of 42 guests at any one time.

There are no forced activities at Orpheus, but plenty for you to do. Imagine a lazy day in paradise with a picnic lunch on your own private beach with time to snorkel enjoying an amazing array of tropical fish and coral. For the more adventurous, why not take a day trip to the outer reef, take a scuba dive, or discover the island in your own motorised dinghy? Alternatively, you can choose to do nothing at all and just relax and unwind by the pool. The options are endless. One certainty is that at Orpheus you will find your perfect romantic escape.
