Imagine a place where time is measured by the passage of the sun. Where intimacy is gauged by deserted beaches that outnumber the guests. Where a fortunate few can savor lifeâ€(TM)s finer things. That place is Australiaâ€(TM)s Bedarra Island Resort, an exclusive rainforest retreat for those who desire a more civilized holiday amid natureâ€(TM)s wonders. At this private sanctuary off the coast of Cairns, youâ€(TM)ll experience pure escape in one of only sixteen elevated villas where the views of sunlight dancing on the water are near hypnotic.

Bedarra is relaxing and beautiful. We booked for 5 nights but loved it so much we begged to be allowed to stay one more night. Fortunately there was a villa available. Our villa Treehouse had gorgeous views and lovely outdoor areas to enjoy them. The chef deserves celebrating, every meal was delicious! I couldn’t recommend it more.

So happy. Amazing stuff. Still here. We took a helicopter only a few minutes and "Whales". Wow... They advised us that it would be great time to go on the prearranged flight a few days away. Asked if where happy to ho now and yes what an experience. Cannot fault anything. Service six star *******. Nothing is to much trouble.

Our second trip to Bedarra and the experience was not only exceptional but better than last time. Exceptional food, complete privacy and wonderful service is all that is important and you get it from Geoffrey and the team in spades! We met some wonderful people and this includes the highly professional staff who were attentive without being intrusive. The culture of a no rules high service environment is unique and hopefully remains a key feature of the Bedarra 5 star experience. A bucket list must do!

Simply stunning! Amazing service from the moment you arrive at The Elantra awaiting departure across to Bedarra Island. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff as they are attentive and personable. The food was among some of the best we've ever had and the scenery second to none! All of the staff were incredibly lovely, but a special mention to Jack as he made all of the cocktails at our request and did a wonderful job. Will definitely be back, and recommending to everyone we know!

From the moment you get on board the launch to Bedarra until the time you leave, this is such a wonderful experience. The food is spectacular, the drinks are top quality and free flowing and the accommodation is wonderful. We had the most magical 3 days at Bedarra and cannot rate it highly enough. The owners - Sam and Kerry-Ann are so down to earth and welcoming, and this flows through all the staff. Geoffrey is worth his weight in gold - he listens and so beautifully ensures all guests’ wishes are granted. All staff in the serving areas and services were so friendly, well trained and beyond wonderful to interact with. So many fantastic experiences on the island, but the most special and memorable was taking the dinghy out to a deserted island with our chef packed lunch, including premium champagne and spirits. This was the most amazing day, that was so well set up and supported by the crew at Bedarra. Thank you for such an amazing stay at your island - we will definitely be back!
