Double Island Luxury Resort

Double Island provides a tantalising mix of privacy, luxury, beauty and exclusivity which combine to create the ideal setting and ambience for those enjoying the rewards of their efforts, far away from life’s day-to-day distractions.
For those wanting more than just relaxation Double Island Luxury Resort provides the choice of island-based or mainland activities, being just 10 minutes from Palm Cove.
Key features of Double Island include:
Unique Island – few people in the world have the opportunity to stay at Double Island. This is because you
must rent the entire island – not just a room – to be able to stay there. For most Double Island is little more than a dream, making it the ultimate location for weddings, milestone birthdays, conferences and senior management workshops. As an incentive, the possibility of staying on Australia’s most exclusive private island is a powerful motivator.
Unforgettable Experience – Keanu Reeves referred to his stay on Double Island as ‘a life-changing experience’. Guests leave Double Island wanting to stay longer and
wondering can they return.
Beauty and Freedom – Imagine being in a state of total
relaxation, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, or on a
beautiful private beach. Or enjoying a banquet on the waterside deck with the tranquil sound of the Coral Sea lapping gently against the beach, and views of Palm Cove and the stunning mainland coastal ranges providing a breathtaking backdrop.
Being the only guests on Double Island you have a blank canvas to create the perfect setting for the ultimate reward.
