Lizard Island Resort
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Why Lizard Island Resort is one of The World's Best 100 Resorts 2026.
Lizard Island Resort has the privilege of standing directly on the Great Barrier Reef, with a collection of beaches and exceptional access to dive sites. Its scale remains intimate, and the experience is strongest when the island itself leads—by boat, trail, reef or an entirely private patch of sand.
