One night we suggest you enjoy the Island’s signature dining experience Dining with the Tides (at additional cost).  Dining with the Tides is an intimate six course degustation dinner served on the Island’s starlit pier, looking out over the magnificent Coral Sea while barramundi, eagle rays, reef sharks and spangled emperor swim below.  You meet with the culinary team to design the perfect menu with wine pairings from a select cellar beverage list.

You may also enjoy the Gwandalan Day Spa during your stay.
