Orpheus Island Resort

Orpheus Island Resort - Romantic Hideaway - Great Barrier Reef - Australia

Orpheus Island Resort is a romantic, coral fringed hideaway catering to the discerning holiday maker. Ideal for those who want to completely retreat from the pressures of modern day hustle and bustle. Situated on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, just off the coast of north Queensland lies Orpheus Island. Fringed by sheltered bays of unspoilt sandy beaches, wreathed in spectacular coral gardens, invigorated with native flora and fauna, Orpheus Island is as captivating as the music of the legendary lyre player. Since the 1930s, the serene Orpheus

Island has quietly lured those seeking sanctuary from the rest of the world. Discerning visitors have come time and time again from around Australia and around the world. The enchanted isle stretches for 11 kilometres (7 miles) through the warm, clear waters of the Coral Sea, 24 kilometres (15 miles) off the Queensland coast between Townsville and Cairns. You will love Orpheus Island Resort for the many special things that are there - and a few that aren't. There are no telephones or televisions in the rooms. There are no nightclubs or daytrippers and children under 15 are not catered for.
