Hunt Resort exudes luxury and elegance, island-style. It's stylish, modern and sophisticated with all the features you'd expect of a modern up-market resort. Yet at Hunt Resort, it's a more natural tropical sophistication that suits the island paradise on which it was created.

Location
Captain Cook named Fitzroy Island in 1770 in honour of the duke of Grafton, Prime minister of England at the time. The Dukes family name was Fitzroy.

Fitzroy Island is located approx. 35 kilometres (18 nautical miles) south east of Cairns. A ferry ride from the Cairns marina takes approximately 45 minutes. Fitzroy Island is one of 600 Continental or High islands on the Great Barrier Reef. It is located on the inner barrier of the central region of the Great Barrier Reef, and is part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The reef surrounding Fitzroy is known as a fringing reef and is teaming with marine life.

Most of the island's water comes from a natural freshwater spring originating in the Tablelands near Mareeba, and surfacing in the National Park bush behind the main complex.
