Reviews for Bedarra Island Resort
A stunning beach getaway
We had an exceptional visit at the Bedarra Island Resort! Situated close to the Great Barrier Reef, this island is the perfect place for the most amazing wildlife experiences. We visited in the winter and were fortunate to see humpback whales, dolphins, as well as many fish (including sharks) when snorkeling/diving. The service was outstanding, with special shout outs to Geoffrey (amazing attention to detail and extremely personable) amongst many other exceptional staff members (Jo, Jack, Jess, and Clemmie). We hired a private charter to the reef for some snorkeling and diving and had a great day (thanks to our guides, Andy and Phil). The food was wonderful with a changing menu every evening, and the daily happy hour was a great way to meet other guests. The rooms are comfortable with a mini bar, rain shower, and a TV (can login into your own Netflix account, which was nice). The resort offers many activities including free boat transfers (they can take you to a local island packed with an umbrella and full lunch/drinks for the day) and kayaks. There are ample seats around the beaches and with few guests present, you will feel like you have the place to yourself. This is truly an amazing place that is worth the visit. If you can swing it, take the helicopter flight from Cairns - it was spectacular!

This must be the place!
We've recently returned from the most wonderful 4 nights in Pavillion 15 on Bedarra. I cannot say enough lovely things about this property or its exceptional staff. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is included!! Although on the surface this appears to be a very expensive place to stay, when you factor in the inclusions it's actually extremely good value for money. Food, wine & cocktails were on point. Never ever in my life did I think I'd utter the words "No thank you, I've had enough French champagne for today" but I did on Bedarra as the service just doesn't stop and your glass is never empty for long. Thanks Bedarra Crew, you made our special trip so much more special x

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.

Amazing and Whales
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.

Bedarra Has It All- Why Go Overseas!
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!
