Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is a world-leading, award-winning ecologically sustainable tourism operator dedicated to protecting and enhancing Lady Elliot Island, the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding communities.
Is for Lady Elliot Island to remain a pristine coral cay within a green zone in the southern World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. We wish to provide a nature-based destination, giving an opportunity for visitors from all over the world to experience the natural beauty and fragile ecosystem of a coral cay and its inhabitants, including the birds and the marine creatures, which live on or visit the island and its surrounding reef.
Is to be custodians of this pristine environment. To enable it to exist and be preserved as nature intended, while giving visitors the opportunity to experience it in an economically and ecologically viable way, without interfering with or having any adverse impact upon the long-term sustainability of the island’s unique ecosystem.
Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort holds Advanced Ecotourism, Climate Action Leader, and Green Travel Leader certifications from Ecotourism Australia, and earned TripAdvisor GreenLeaders status in 2015 for our sustainable, low-impact operations.
Running a remote, off-grid island resort means no mains power, water, sewerage, or rubbish collection. We generate power, desalinate water, treat all waste, and strive to minimise our environmental impact.
Since 2005, we’ve transformed the Resort into a leader in eco-tourism. We reduce emissions, water use, and waste; protect biodiversity in partnership with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority; and inspire guests to become ECO Warriors for future reef protection.
Our dedicated team cares deeply. Join a Behind the Scenes Tour to see their passion and the delicate balance of nature in action.
