Your first trip to Bedarra, and the immediate sense of belonging that you will feel, will tell you this Island is unique.

Location:
When you just don't wan to be found, this isone of the better corners of the world in which to disappear. A private island oasis of luxurious tranquillity in a world far removed from the ordinary. A secluded haven of natural wonders surrounded by the warm tropical waters of Northern Queensland.

Surrounding:
Bedarra's beauty is the natural understatement of tropical splendour. The singular silence of the rainforest where a thick carpet of fallen leaves passes softly underfoot in muted tones of filtered sunlight. The majestic presence of huge tumbled granite boulders rising from a sapphire sea. The gentle lapping of clear blue water on sunlit sand as you discover a hidden cove where time stands still. With its sweeping beaches of pure golden sand bounded by long-established gardens, Bedarra Hideaway offers a unique combination of natural delights. Each fully appointed Villa reflects the beauty of its surroundings, a split level design with a hint of Eastern mystery provides cool privacy with lush foliage framing a view of the sapphire sea.

Resort Complex Accommodation:
Bedarra Island is home to two exclusive Resorts, Bedarra Bay and Bedarra Hideaway. Each offers a standard of facilities and service that reflects an uncompromising attitude towards the total enjoyment of only 32 guests accommodated in 16 luxurious Villas.
