Luxury Lodges of Australia has pulled off a blinder, adding not one but two jaw-dropping destinations to its dreamy collection. Say a big sun-soaked hello to Orpheus Island Lodge and Pelorus Private Island, two Great Barrier Reef gems that have us asking, “Is it too late to quit our jobs and move in permanently?”

Nestled within the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, these two are the swanky new neighbours everyone wants to borrow sugar from. Just a breezy 15-minute private boat ride apart, Orpheus Island Lodge and Pelorus Private Island, both part of the Morris Escapes portfolio, offer a front-row seat to one of the world’s most dazzling marine playgrounds.
