Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort

Discover one of the top dive and snorkelling sites in the world! Lady Elliot is a true coral cay island located at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. The island is regarded as one of the best diving and snorkelling locations on the Great Barrier Reef and is famous for its unspoilt coral reef and amazing array of spectacular marine life. Step off the beach and snorkel, swim or scuba dive in one of the world's richest marine eco-systems.

Lady Elliot Island lies 80 kilometres north east of Bundaberg, and is easily accessible daily flights that land at the island’s own airstrip. A limited number of guests are allowed on the island at any one time.

The moment you step onto the island, you know you’ve arrived somewhere special. Formed over 3000 years, this beautiful coral cay is home to 57 species of birds, nesting sea turtles and a stunning underwater world of coral formations and diverse marine life.

On Lady Elliot Island, you set the pace. You can bury your nose in a good book on a stretch of deserted beach, go diving with one of our qualified dive instructors, or explore the island and visit the main landmark, the Lady Elliot Island Lighthouse, one of the first built in Australia using a timber framed substructure and cast iron external cladding.
