Situated on Australia's beautiful Great Barrier Reef just 45 minutes off-shore from Cairns, Green Island is a small coral cay of 15 hectares surrounded by a magnificent coral reef, and one of Australia's premier environmental heritage sites.

Resort Activities
Or perhaps an early morning start for snorkelling. The beauty of the Reef defies description. Spend a morning you will never forget. The colour, and the genius of nature is awesome. You feel humbled by the innocent spectacle around you.
After snorkelling, why not a picnic on the beach? A leisurely meal, a good bottle of wine, good company, Talk. Relax. Maybe a short afternoon nap. This evening? Dinner, a walk on the beach under the blaze of the Southern Hemisphere stars, and an early night. Pure relaxation.
You feel almost by yourself in this idyllic enclave. Quietness surrounds you. The staff are there, but they are not there. You ask and you receive. Unobtrusive, friendly, courteous. They understand your personal needs almost from the first minute you are on the island. This is not work for them, but your pleasure.
You are tired and want relaxation. You are romantic and want seclusion with your partner. You are looking to recapture memories of the past. You are looking for a luxurious retreat to hold an important executive meeting, or reward the deserving executive for their efforts with a special incentive. In short, you are looking for the best.
