Love is in the air

LOST IN LOVE

As soon as your helicopter lands, kick off your shoes and soak up the serenity at this lush eco-retreat tucked on a private cove on Long Island in the Whitsundays. Besides the whir of the chopper as it disappears above the cerulean sea, you’ll hear nothing but birdsong.

The first 100 per cent solar-powered eco-resort on the Great Barrier Reef, Elysian Retreat is also adults-only, so there will be no shrill of children breaking the calming ambience.

And, as the most secluded island in the Whitsundays, it goes without saying this is the place to escape if you plan to elope. For those who want an intimate wedding, book the entire resort and you’ll have all 10 oceanfront villas – just you, your love and 18 of your family or friends.

Marry on the pool deck where you will gaze across the bluer-than-blue ocean to the lush, rainforest-clad hills of Cape Conway National Park.

With three gourmet meals daily, dine on dishes
