The Great Barrier Reef (Whitsundays) · Australia
PremierPalm Bay Resort
Boutique self-catering retreat · Long Island
A small, owner-run retreat of around 25 Balinese-inspired bures, villas and houses set in a secluded private cove on Long Island, with views across the Whitsunday Passage. The only genuinely self-catering option of stature in the islands, reached by water taxi, seaplane or helicopter — a quiet alternative for those who prize privacy over resort programming.
Why we recommend it
A barefoot, low-key counterpoint to the larger resorts for independent travellers who want space and silence.
