Three idyllic Australian luxury private islands

We uncover three incredible luxury private islands in our own backyard right here in Australia. Experience Australia’s pristine wilderness, as you immerse yourself in island life, being taken care of by expert hosts with the finest hospitality.

Rumi on Louth (South Australia)

This newly appointed $50M luxury island is not where you might expect. Welcome to Rumi on Louth. So where exactly is Louth Island? It’s a mere 10 minutes from the Eyre Peninsula and about 17km north of Port Lincoln in South Australia.

This place has a strikingly Mediterranean vibe, with its terrazzo tiles, rendered walls and high contrast landscape. The vast Eyre coastline feels incredibly remote, but at the same time abundant, offering up guests a plethora of fresh seafood and dazzling ever changing views out across the bay.

Currently this luxury island property is at stage one, with an apartment and four suites ready and welcoming guests.  Stage two, set to open in 2025, will grace the island with an additional 27 villas and a private VIP house.

Staying at Rumi on Louth offers a chance to experience unique natural and cultural surroundings, thoughtfully designed accommodations, fresh and fabulous local cuisine, and world-class, personalised service.

Pelorus Private Island (Queensland)

Rising from the northernmost cluster of peaks of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef’s ‘Great Palm’ archipelago just off the coast of Townsville, Pelorus Island is 400 hectares of pristine wilderness and superb fringing reefs, all accessible at your leisure by helicopter or private yacht.

Pelorus’ naturally isolated, sprawling single residence features five luxurious suites, making it the only luxury private island home in the region. An intimate dwelling designed for families and friends seeking to share a memorable island getaway, together.

The residence’s design evokes a sense of purity and tranquillity, seamlessly blending with the landscape’s white coral sand beaches and tropical blue waters. With light filled communal areas, a fully stocked bar and open kitchen, guests will be indulged by a private chef for the duration of their stay.

Makepeace island (New South Wales)

Makepeace Island is a private luxury resort home, set on 25 acres of exclusive-use island and nestled in the tranquil waters of the Noosa River in New South Wales.

When you step onto Makepeace Island, you are instantly transported to another world. The whole island is your exclusive playground, a world where barefoot luxury meets refined sophistication.

The beauty of your Makepeace Island experience lies in the freedom to explore as much or as little as you desire. The diversity of inclusions on this island paradise are second to none with its own tennis court, swimming pool, spa, gymnasium, water sports and private jetty. Guests are invited to partake in cooking classes, mixology, arts and crafts, guided hikes or fishing expeditions.

Makepeace island is the perfect destination for a multi-generational family holiday, a special celebration, or a corporate retreat.
