Bedarra Island Villa

Bedarra Island Villa is one of the most beautiful private places to stay in Australia’s famed Great Barrier Reef, and as such is the signature property in the Contemporary Hotels collection.

The Villa is positioned near the water’s edge on a private two-acre estate which wraps around a palm-framed white-sand beach. The functional design of the Villa, which sleeps 8 people is languidly relaxed, yet comfortably modernist, with interiors by renowned interior architect Robert Davidov. The Villa has two queen-sized bedrooms and an open-plan lounge/dining space which expands out to a large deck. Guests enjoy stunning views of the beautiful Coral Sea and the distant islands, extending to the oceans of the Great Barrier Reef, South Pacific and beyond, and can swim or snorkel for hours in the warm, clear, turquoise waters of the Coral Sea.

There is also a Studio on the property that was originally built by prominent artist Noel Wood in the early 20th century. It maintains many original features including the gin and cognac bottle feature wall, a stone fireplace, bamboo panelling and a collection of original bamboo furniture items handmade by Mr Wood himself.

As there are only a small number of private homes on East Bedarra Island and there is no public access, you will never see any day-trippers.

This is a getaway in every sense and once there you’ll feel as though you’re in another world where you can unwind in seclusion, but not in isolation. The caretakers will wait on the beach for your arrival by boat to help you land – literally and figuratively – on your island in the sun.
