Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

HOME OF THE MANTA RAY

Southern Great Barrier Reef

Dreaming about a holiday on a remote island?  We have the perfect place for you.

Lady Elliot Island is a coral cay located at the southern tip of the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef.

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is one of only three island resorts located right on the Great Barrier Reef.  It offers a spectacular island holiday destination, and a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  The Island Resort is very low-key and environmentally friendly, allowing you to encounter turtles, dolphins, a large variety of coral, fish and giant manta rays, and LOTS of sea birds.

The island eco-system is teeming with vibrant life, with some of the best and most colourful snorkeling and diving reef on the East Coast of Australia. Experience the best of the Great Barrier Reef – the most colourful & diverse coral & marine life. The best place in the world to swim with Manta Rays! See giant Loggerhead & Green turtles nesting and hatching (Nov – Apr), and be surrounded by humpback whales (Jul – Nov). Swim with dolphins and be amazed by the thousands of nesting sea birds.

Your Lady Elliot adventure is “self-guided”, with a myriad of tours and ranger guided activities for you to choose from. Participate in whatever you want, or if you wish to just spend a few hours snorkelling the reef – go for it!!

Best place to stay for a relaxing wk end with family. I never thought turtles would happily come up to us but they do. Friendly staff, simple perfect stay. Kids, hubby and I couldn't be happier. Clean rooms, and I am a housekeeping manager so I know what standards they should be. Thanks for a great stay.
