Whitsunday Islands

Owners of The Sojourn Retreats group have renovated a former eco-resort located on the southern tip of Long Island in the Whitsundays. Formerly Paradise Bay Eco Resort, it has been relaunched as Elysian, after the new owners restored the resort after extensive cyclone damage. Elysian is the barefoot luxury offering, equally focused on sustainability, catering to just 20 guests in 10 oceanfront villas with a private chef, custom organic spa treatments and water activities. Rates start from $1400 twin share per night.
