Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat

What can I say other than amazing. From start to finish, this place is paradise. You have to get a boat (or helicopter) to the island where you are greeted by the nicest staff. Lily was particularly brilliant, nothing was too much and she was amazing booking trips and giving us advice before our walk into the jungle. The accommodation was brilliant, lovely and clean and the view was beautiful. The food was out of this world, they catered for my dietary requirements and made each meal absolutely delicious! If you are looking at booking in the Whitsundays, I would highly recommend staying here and if you see the book about the island, give it a read, it is brilliant.

Amazing stay Wonderful stay at the Elysian. Everything was just perfect! From the amazing helicopter ride from the airport we couldn’t have asked for a more hospitable environment. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay as memorable as possible. The chefs also do a great job making delicious meals and every meal is different. This is all inclusive with a cherry on top. The bedrooms are huge, have super comfy beds, and all have that breathtaking view of the calm sea. We didn’t want to leave. We will be back!

Our stay here was incredible. Romantic and relaxing. This place offers a little slice of paradise to unwind in. The location is secluded and spectacular. (Note you do need to book a transfer from Hamilton Island Airport, either two boats or via a 5 min helicopter flight - which is a lovely way to see the islands!) The staff are all fantastic, a big thank you to Alice and the entire team. They are caring, attentive (no request was too hard) whilst ensuring you also have your space.

The resort was very secluded, tucked away in a cove on Long Island with only 10 adult couples to be at the resort. This resort is remote and that made it special. The resort was clean and tidy with our rooms cleaned daily. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The Yoga in the morning and afternoon was really good and the instructor was great she took her time to show us the moves needed. The food was really tasty, the chief did great job. Bar tender/s were quite chatty and friendly. keep that Licor 43 going :)_ There was enough to do if i need an activity with SUPs, kayaks, Chiliboats, swimming pool to float around on and a few walks can be done. The helicopter flight was really cool way to get to the resort. The manager of the resort was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the resort for a getaway. Thank you, Elysian Resort and all staff, for a great relaxing 3 night stay.

Our stay at the Elysian was an unforgettable, all-inclusive, eco-friendly experience. Nestled on a pristine island, this hidden gem offers sustainable luxury surrounded by the best of what the Australia's Golden Coast nature has to offer. We stayed in thoughtfully designed eco-bungalows with stunning water views of Paradise Bay. We enjoyed farm-to-table dining, relaxed by the excellent pool overlooking the water, and immersed in unique eco-friendly activities. One of our highlights was the island hike that took us to a hidden beach on the other side of Long island. From guided snorkeling to kayaking to paddleboarding to sunrise yoga sessions, this eco-lodge offers something for everyone. Thank you to ALL the fantastic staff at the Elysian that made our stayunforgetable.

We stayed 4 nights in the pool room and enjoyed every minute. The food was fantastic from breakfast through to dinner, and the wines paired well. My only comment would be that the portion sizes are rather large, but the team are happy to accommodate smaller servings when asked. We wanted to explore the barrier reef and the team recommended a helicopter tour with a local provider. We chose the “best of both worlds” trip, which we would highly recommend. Would definitely recommend over the more built up resorts.
