Upon my arrival the resort managers gave us a warm and informative welcome along with the invitation to relax and enjoy which we did great style and comfort. The beach style understated accommodation was fitting for the National Pack environment and with everything one could wish. The gourmet and wine list were enjoyed with gusto and the 7 course degustation... More

Having travelled the world staying at Four Seasons, Oberoi, Westin, Peninsula etc and at Lizard Island and Hayman I feel qualified to offer a review on Orpheus. Quite simply the promise is delivered from booking to the website to the wonderful Resort Manager Ben, the talented Chef Ari and the warm friendly staff. It is an island paradise where you... More

On our first tour through Australia we chose Orpheus Island Resort for our stay to explore the Great Barrier Reef. It is a bit of trek to get there but worth the journey in every way. It is a small eco resort and the only neighbor is Earthwatch.org's research station and the birds and sea life. You arrive by boat... More

We loved hanging around the infinity pool and reading our books, walking along the beach, going for a sail, kayak or snorkelling, all at our own pace. All the water activities are easily accessible... More

We’ve just come back from 6 days in Paradise! ..Orpheus Island! Snorkeling near yanks jetty was spectacular, bright blues, pinks and yellow coral and the fish were stunning! Especially the parrot fish – almost fluorescent in colours!! The service and staff were ever so helpful and the food was delicious and fresh every day. We didn’t want to leave, days... More

We were so spoiled. Uber-chef Cheong Liew was cooking on the island with his protegee and now resident chef Arie when we visited, so it was an adventure of the table as well as the island. We are confident Arie will amaze guests with his fabulous Australian-Asian fusion food. Needless to say, it was Michelin quality. There are few resorts... More

I've heard the phrase 'barefoot luxury' and now I now what it means. Orpheus Island is it. The accommodation is first rate and the food was truly excellent - Michelin star quality every night. But what really makes the resort stand out is the delightful staff. From Elizabeth who cleans the rooms to Kylie the manager, everyone is most helpful... More
