Private Island Sanctuaries

East Bedarra Island Retreat Great Barrier Reef features two distinct luxurious island sanctuaries: the Princess Villa and the Beach Bungalow.

The East Bedarra Princess Villa
The East Bedarra Princess Villa is the epitome of luxury and decadence. Enjoy the wall to floor glass windows allowing endless and unlimited views of exotic tropical islands and the azure waters of the Coral Sea. The roof of the East Bedarra Princess Villa is glass, allowing guests the opportunity to bathe in the tropical blue skies during the day and fall asleep underneath the shimmering stars and moonlight at night.

The East Bedarra Princess Villa is perched atop a granite boulder that hangs over the calm waters of the Coral Sea, and the Villa’s living area effortlessly flows into the warm waters of the ocean. Sit in the delightful swinging love lounge on the spacious outdoor deck and watch the sunrise over the tropical islands and waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

On arrival at the East Bedarra Princess Villa, two deluxe features of this unique island Villa will immediately stand out – the Le Cobb glass relaxation vessel and the Onda washplane. The Le Cobb glass relaxation vessel has been described as a postmodernist representation of a bathtub. This is a bathtub with a difference, made entirely of glass and designed to mould perfectly to the body, set near the large windows with endless views of the sapphire ocean, lush natural rainforest, golden sun drenched sands and powder blue tropical skies. The Le Cobb glass bath tub is an experience in itself, and provides guests with remarkable tropical views with the remarkable sensation of weightlessness.

The Onda washplane is an uber-modern functional piece of art, and is a luxury feature of this decadent sanctuary. The Onda washplane is a remarkable hand basin, and a divine inclusion in the deluxe bathroom of the East Bedarra Princess Villa. The Italian designed features of the bathroom exude luxury, opulence and romance – exactly what a holiday at East Bedarra Island Retreat is all about.

All furnishings in the East Bedarra Princess Villa have been imported from Milan, offering a lavish and ultra-comfortable island retreat. In addition the East Bedarra Princess Villa offers all the luxury facilities guests would expect from a lavish exclusively private island sanctuary such as a plasma screen television with cable, a Bose stereo, telephones and broadband internet.

The East Bedarra Beach Bungalow
The East Bedarra Beach Bungalow provides direct access to the all-year-round warm waters of the Coral Sea. Step out of your absolute beachfront island sanctuary onto the warm golden sands of the shoreline. The special features of the East Bedarra Beach Bungalow are plentiful, and include a divine outdoor shower that offers sweeping views of Dunk Island, a large luxury saltwater plunge pool reminiscent of hidden rock pools found in tropical forests, a gourmet kitchen and outdoor pizza oven with a sensational alfresco dining area on the beach. This is the perfect place to while away the peaceful island afternoons as you watch the warm tropical days turn into balmy exotic nights. The Beach Bungalow offers the ultimate in private luxury and includes a delightful queen size bed from which you can see tropical islands, the Coral Sea and mainland Australia in the distance, cable television, CD and DVD player and telephone.
