Bedarra Island
When you simply don't wish to be found, when you need to escape, unwind and experience the finer things in life, there is no better place to disappear to than Voyages Bedarra Island. This is Australia’s most exclusive resort, an indulgent tropical private haven, lying off the coast of Cairns.
At Bedarra, guests can do as they wish, when they wish. And with a maximum of just 32 guests, no-one’s going to cramp your style.
Activities
While the focus on Bedarra Island is on peace and relaxation, there are also many activities to enjoy, such as catamaran sailing, paddle-skiing, fishing, snorkelling and diving day trips to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as motorised dinghies for exploring the island’s picturesque, private beaches and neighbouring islands. Private reef fishing and sailing charters can also be arranged. Alternatively, try one of Bedarra’s self-guided island walks or nature trails. Feel like more indulgence? Enjoy a relaxing therapeutic massage on the beach or in the privacy of your villa.
The cuisine, presented in an open terrace restaurant overlooking the cascading pool, is exquisite. The tantalising menus change daily, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and exotic tropical produce. In the evening, flawless service delivers a superb à la carte menu and every meal offers the freshest local produce in a delicious and original way. A popular lunch option is a romantic beach picnic with a gourmet hamper. The daily tariff includes all meals.
The epitome of island indulgence, Bedarra is your hideaway.
(N.B. Children 15 years and under are not catered for.)
