"Located in Australia’s Whitsunday archipelago near the Great Barrier Reef, this private-island resort features 176 wood-floored rooms and adults-only Beachfront Pavilions with energy-saving thermal technology. Public facilities include five dining outlets, a spa, gym, and a large swimming pool, and the property emphasizes refillable filtered water stations and a strict zero single-use plastic policy—including reef-safe sunscreens and ethically made boutique items—to reduce environmental impact during snorkeling, hiking, and reef exploration." - Kathryn Romeyn, Kristin Braswell, Margot Bigg, Devorah Lev-Tov
