Imagine waking up in one of the world’s most exclusive private island destinations.

Located amidst the Great Barrier Reef and surrounded by 1,300 hectares of pristine national park, Orpheus is a nature lover’s paradise.  Strictly limited to 42 pampered guests and with the exclusion of telephones, televisions, day-trippers or children under 15, Orpheus provides the ultimate hideaway.    

The waters off the island are home to a vast array of vibrant, coloured marine life and showcase 1100 species of fish, and 340 of the 350 known species of reef coral.  This is a place so private that snorkelling becomes a surreal experience as you glide over the world’s largest population of giant clams. 

Accessible by seaplane this is a place where the magnificence of an unspoilt island and its fringing reefs are a mere backdrop to an experience in tropical food, wine and privacy like no other. 

The accommodation is sophisticated and inviting – all just a stone’s throw from the water’s edge and only a short stroll from our multi award winning restaurant. 

Your palate will be pleased to discover that Orpheus is as famous for its fine gourmet cuisine as it is for its soft corals.  The chef prepares a new exotic menu daily which is guaranteed to tantalise your tastebuds.  Not to be missed is “Dining with the Tides”, a private table set up for dining under the stars on the jetty. 

There are a hundred ways to lose yourself at Orpheus.  Snorkel some of the finest reef areas.  Relax on your own private beach complete with a chef prepared gourmet picnic hamper.  Take part in a unique nature interpretive activity.  Or simply relax by the pool and waste away the hours – it’s your choice.  

So if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a guest on an island like Orpheus, life’s short – and on Orpheus, the days are long.
