‘Great’ is a bit of an understatement here. Covering an area of
134,000 square miles and comprising around 2,500 individual
reefs and over 900 islands, the Great Barrier Reef is the largest
living structure on Earth. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, the reef is a richly diverse ecosystem home to some of the
world’s most mesmerizing marine life – including sea turtles,
sharks, dolphins, vibrant corals, and a kaleidoscope of colorful
昀椀sh. Curated helicopter tours, yacht trips with marine biologists,
and guided diving or snorkeling excursions allow total immersion
in this phenomenal natural environment. For the pinnacle of
laid-back luxury, stay in one of the 14 re昀椀ned suites at Orpheus
Island Lodge, a private island retreat at the heart of the reef itself.
