Bedarra Island Resort - Australia

Hotel Facilities and Information

Imagine a place where time is measured only by the passage of the sun. Where you can do as you wish, when you wish.

An island where a fortunate few can savour the finer things in life. That place is Bedarra Island Resort, your private hide-away, an exclusive haven catering to those who desire a more civilised escape.

Your Villa is one of just fifteen hidden in the rainforest.

The view of the sunlight dancing across the water from your balcony is almost hypnotic.

The food is simply exquisite, a standard our guests demand. And so there is a team of chefs and a new menu every day.

The superb seafood is always as fresh as if you caught it yourself.

If it’s not fresh, it’s not on the menu. There are many ways to fill the day but a beach picnic comes highly recommended.

You set off by boat with a hamper fit for royalty to discover one of the many secluded bay

Bedarra Island often has more beaches than guests, so your privacy is guaranteed. You'll never have to share the lush rainforest and calming tropical bays with more than 15 other couples.

And after cooling off in the the pool, the legendary Bedarra Island Resort bar offers one of Australia’s finest selections of wine, spirits and imported beers. It’s all included in your tariff, so have whatever takes your fancy.

An open terrace restaurant overlooks the cascading pool in an intimate setting for a la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner, all of which are included in your tariff.
