Bedarra Island Resort

This intimate hideaway is tucked between the tropical vegetation of Bedarra Island in the Great Barrier Reef, encompassing just ten villas which are strewn up the hillside for unrivalled views of the beach.

Bedarra Island Resort is easy to reach from Mission Beach, just 10km away, yet feels far away from anywhere else save for the exotic islands and coral reefs that surround it.

What’s more, staff are a breath of fresh air and the whole place feels personal. Much love has been poured into Bedarra Island Resort, which harnesses solar power and sources water from a nearby spring to help minimise its carbon footprint.

An Asian-inspired restaurant, lagoon-shaped pool, sociable lounge area and raft of activities complete the picture here in paradise. You can try stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkelling or tennis, perhaps enjoy a workout in the gym, take a picnic to a neighbouring island or hike through the island using the self-guided map.

Of course, there’s plenty of beachfront relaxation to be had too. Each of Bedarra Island Resort’s ten villas is set in its own private location, either right above the beach or hidden in the jungle further up the hill. All are bedecked with balconies and split-level or two-storey layouts; some even boast private plunge pools. It won’t take long for you to fall into island time here at Bedarra.

Accommodation Options

With only ten villas dotted across the coast and rainforest, you can be sure to enjoy a private, secluded stay at Bedarra Island Resort.

The list of amenities is generous: king-size beds, bathrobes, Aveda toiletries, iPods with docking stations, espresso machines, minibars, bathtubs and 3G internet connections.

The Point is propped up on the rocks by the water’s edge of Hernandia Bay, promising isolation from the rest of the property. The 134sq m floorplan is split across the upper level, where the bedroom is located, and the lower level, home to the living area.
