A tiny coral cay part of the Great Barrier Reef (in Queensland, Australia), Wilson Island is among those places that you can easily call “paradise on earth”. A secluded rapture surrounded by a pristine reef and and amazing beaches, Wilson Island appeals by keeping away from the modern-day living.
Located just north of the Tropic of Capricorn and close to Heron Island, the exclusive place is home to rare turtles (Green and Loggerhead turtles) and lots of birds that use it as a breeding “getaway”. And talking about being exclusive, the Wilson Island can only accommodate 12 people in its six permanent tents. But not just any tents - “green tents”. Powered by solar energy, these are designed for ultimate comfort with a king bed, a hammock, a private shower and stunning views of the reefs and the ocean.
But apart from being a sheltered natural abode that stuns with its amazing beauty, Wilson Island is also a great place to try the Australian cuisine while getting your sense pampered with cocktails and canapés. Defined by freshness, simplicity and variety, there’s a large banquette seating area with an open kitchen, where you’ll get to enjoy all your meals and throw in a light party with your other folks if you wish.
Not suited for those in a quest for a wild nightlife, Wilson Island is perfect if you’d like to enjoy some world-class snorkeling or a day out in a glass bottom kayak. Heaven for bird watchers or those who’d appreciate a good walk at night, this tiny island has everything you could ever wish for.
For those interested to know about prices, prices start at $689 per person for 2 nights - if you want the whole island for yourself. That includes accommodation, gourmet meals, beverages, snorkeling gear and transfers between the islands.
Oh, and one last thing. Just make sure you don’t visit between January 26 and February 28, because the Wilson Island is closed for the nesting season.
