Green Island Resort

Dive into the underwater mysteries of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef when you stay at Queensland's magnificent Green Island. Just 45 minutes off the coast of balmy Cairns, this idyllic, eco-certified hideaway – accessible only by boat or helicopter – is draped in lush rainforest with a fringe of sun-kissed coastline. Cast away for a laidback retreat hidden on a millennia-year-old, jungle-clad coral cay – the only one of its kind within this precious marine park – and spend your days exploring the kaleidoscopic marine life shimmering beneath the largest coral reef system in the world, walking the nature trails covering the island or soaking up serenity on the resort's postcard-perfect beach.
