Dive into Luxury: Pelorus Island, The Paradisiacal New Addition to Northern Escape Collection.
Imagine a place where the brilliance of the Great Barrier Reef meets the serenity of ultimate seclusion. A place where pristine azure waters and resplendent fringing reefs cradle a lush verdant paradise. A place that redefines luxury, exclusivity, and adventure in unparalleled harmony. This is not a mere figment of imagination but the enticing reality offered by the latest jewel in the Northern Escape Collection crown – Pelorus Private Island.
Set within the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, Pelorus Private Island is the epitome of indulgent seclusion for those with an appetite for the exquisite. Its location alone cements its exclusivity. Accessed by a 30-minute helicopter journey from Townsville or a private superyacht, the island’s private dwelling offers an oasis of privacy, perfect for the world’s most discerning travellers.
Nestled amidst the untouched natural grandeur, Pelorus Private Island features a single, sprawling residence. This residence, unique in the region, houses four luxurious suites, each offering unparalleled views and an experience of the region’s biodiversity. The naturally isolated residence transcends luxury, blending seamlessly into its lush surroundings while offering guests exceptional personalized service.
The island’s strategic location also brings guests closer to the untouched wilderness of Hinchinbrook Island, Australia’s largest island national park. Home to rainforest-clad hiking trails, cascading waterfalls, diverse flora and abundant fauna, Hinchinbrook Island promises a burst of adventure for those seeking it.
But the allure of Pelorus Private Island isn’t limited to its luxurious seclusion and natural wonders. It also opens doors to a variety of bespoke activities and attractions. Diving and snorkelling in the clear blue waters offer an up-close interaction with the vibrant underwater life of the Great Barrier Reef. Guided jet ski tours and sea bob tours thrillingly explore the island’s aquatic surroundings. The island also provides access to the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA), a unique cultural and environmental project to inspire reef conservation and promote underwater tourism.
Chris Morris, the Morris Group’s Founder and Executive Chairman, expressed his excitement at this new venture, stating that Pelorus Private Island “will bring something incredibly unique to North Queensland.” He highlighted the intimate and private nature of the residence, making it the perfect getaway for families and friends and an attractive prospect for premium travellers, a demographic seldom seen in this part of the world.
“Guests can enjoy unparalleled levels of privacy and personalised service in a location that seamlessly combines nature with luxury,” said Mr Morris.
Research conducted by Tourism Australia paints a vivid picture of the luxury travellers’ appetite for experiences like Pelorus Private Island. According to their Global Future of Tourism Demand Research, these travellers averaged 5.1 trips in the past five years, with over a third having embarked on five or more trips. They are often more willing to invest in their journeys, seeking unique, high-quality experiences over ordinary vacations.
“Pelorus Private Island aligns with the growing consumer demand for ultra-luxe products that offer exclusivity, privacy, and remoteness while allowing them to connect and spend time with loved ones,” added Mr Morris.
Crafted with expertise and precision, the architecture and interiors of the residence have been designed by the renowned Dubois Design. The project is currently under construction and expected to open its doors to domestic and international travellers in November 2023. The residence’s design aims to reflect the seamless blend of luxury and nature, enhancing the overall guest experience.
