Lord Howe Island feels completely removed from the rest of Australia, with dramatic volcanic peaks, protected reefs and a pace of life shaped almost entirely by the natural surroundings. Visitor numbers are strictly limited, which helps preserve the island’s quiet atmosphere and makes it one of the country’s most exclusive island destinations.
Most days here are spent outdoors, whether that’s hiking, snorkelling, diving, cycling between beaches or exploring the lagoon by boat or paddleboard. The island is surrounded by some of the world’s southernmost coral reef systems, with exceptionally clear water and excellent marine life, while inland, walking trails lead through forest and up towards the island’s mountainous ridgelines.
Lord Howe Island works particularly well for travellers looking to slow the pace slightly within a wider Australia itinerary, often combined with Sydney or the Great Barrier Reef. Accommodation on the island is intentionally low-key, with a strong focus on privacy, scenery and access to the outdoors rather than large-scale resorts.
We feature a carefully chosen collection of stays on the island, including Capella Lodge, one of Australia’s most celebrated luxury island retreats.
