Lizard Island
- Where:

- When:March 2017
- Who:My version own version of Scuba Steve.
>
Flying over the turquoise waters surrounding the private island resort.
Spoiled with a three course meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The recently refurbished beachside villas are what dream homes are made of.
Long walks on the beach with not another soul in sight.
When can I move in?
The life-blood of the resort... the all-inclusive bar.
The beachfront villa among the palm trees.
The most pimping villa of them all, The Pavillion.
SUPs, kayaks and boats can all be borrowed (free of charge) from The Beach Club.
More perfect than a postcard.
The pristine island is only accessible by boat or a (very small) plane. Not a car in sight!
Highs & Lows
-
The location is unbeatable. And the colour of that water, need I say more?
-
Despite being hard to get to and remote, the food is exceptional, especially the seafood which is caught and cooked daily.
-
The service is second to none - you say jump, they will ask how high (note: we did not ask anyone to actually jump, however, we did always ask for more cocktails).
-
The beach villas are the ideal place to relax and totally switch off. They are fitted with a daybed on the porch, comfortable armchairs and a bed as soft as a marshmallow.
-
It is hard to get to. This is part of its charm of course but is another big expense on top of the room rates.
