Great Barrier Reef and Northern Queensland
Riley

Sophisticated hotel on the waterfront
Opened in November 2018, the Riley is an elegant city hotel ideally located on the waterfront in the heart of Cairns.
There are 311 rooms and suites with views of either the city skyline or the Coral Sea. Some of the suites feature private balconies, the perfect place to enjoy the views with a morning coffee or glass of wine at the end of the day.
Eating is a real treat at Riley. Savour the flavours of the Mediterranean at Rocco, or head east and enjoy modern Asian cuisine at Paper Crane. The fresh healthy menu at Greenfields is perfect for those looking to keep it light – think salads, grain bowls and cold pressed juices.
There is an outdoor swimming pool and a spa for when guests want to simply relax and unwind.

Located amidst the crystalline waters of the Great Barrier Reef‘s ‘Great Palm’ archipelago in Australia, Pelorus Island is a tranquil sanctuary boasting 400 hectares of unspoiled wilderness and fringing reefs, all accessible by helicopter or private yacht. With only five suites, this secluded residence offers an intimate escape and truly serene ambiance. Stays are set to the sounds of waves gently lapping white-sand beaches, each suite expertly furnished with hand-crafted designer furniture that exudes island charm.
Culinary journeys start with world-class chefs who craft delicious meals using locally sourced produce. Menus are infused with international flair and each dining experience is bespoke, fully tailored to your preferences.
The island’s focus on well-being comes to life with sunrise beach yoga sessions, refreshing swims in the solar-heated pool and soothing massages.
