Unparalleled paradise awaits at Elysian Retreat, the most secluded island retreat in the Whitsundays. Positioned on the water's edge in Paradise Bay on the southern point of Long Island, you'll stay in one of 10 oceanfront villas offering spectacular ocean, mountain and rainforest vistas. Guests are treated to daily changing menus using the freshest seasonal produce sourced from the island's vegetable garden and surrounding farm regions. Each meal is an event within itself, with gourmet breakfasts, al fresco or picnic lunches and three course dinners. Make the most of their wide range of complimentary activities on offer including snorkelling, paddle boarding, glass bottom kayaking and daily yoga.

For those wanting to get out and explore the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, a picnic lunch can be arranged for you to take on any adventure. If you simply want to relax and recharge, make yourself at home in the outdoor hammocks and day beds or dip in and out of the magnesium resort pool, offering health benefits such as stress and anxiety relief, body detoxification, reduced aches and pains, and improved sleep.

Striving for environmental conservation, Elysian is completely powered by the sun and follows sustainable practices to reduce waste, improve usage of water, power, fuel and emissions. The downside? You'll find it hard to leave this slice of paradise!
