Just a 30 minute helicopter ride from Townsville, Queensland: Pelorus Private Island /

Pelorus Private Island is the latest jewel in the Northern Escape Collection crown, offering travelers an utterly secluded and indulgent hideaway amongst the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.

Surrounded by pristine waters, dazzling reefs and a lush green hillside, Pelorus Private Island features a naturally isolated single, expansive residence with four luxury suites, making it the region’s only luxury private island residence.

Accessed via a 30-minute helicopter ride from Townsville or a private superyacht, guests are invited to enjoy relaxation and barefoot adventure with an array of bespoke activities including scuba diving and snorkeling, guided jet ski and sea bob tours, reef fishing, access to the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA) and boat charters. The island also provides access to the pristine wilderness of Hinchinbrook Island, Australia’s largest national park, home to rainforest-clad hiking trails, waterfalls, abundant wildlife and diverse flora.

Chris Morris, founder and executive chairman of the Morris Group, said Pelorus Private Island will bring something incredibly unique to North Queensland.

“Pelorus Private Island is a rare offering on the Great Barrier Reef, where guests can enjoy an unparalleled level of privacy and personalized service, in a location that seamlessly blends nature with luxury,” he said.

“The intimate home is best shared with family and friends who are looking to spend an unforgettable vacation on the reef together. The secluded and very private nature of the residence will attract a caliber of premium travelers not often found in this part of the world.”
