After lots of research, my husband and I chose to visit Orpheus Island for our honeymoon. It was absolutely heavenly. I can’t think of anywhere that would have been more perfect. From the moment we disembarked from the helicopter to be greeted with drinks and cold towels, our final evening spent on the jetty for the “Dining with the tides” experience, we loved every minute. It was by far the most luxurious and pricey holiday we had ever had, so I was anxious that it wouldn’t live up to our expectations - but it exceeded them in every way. It’s luxurious but not pretentious. The staff were super friendly and seemed like they were enjoying their work, and always made sure we were looked after without being intrusive. The room had a great view and was just metres from the infinity pool overlooking the beach. The food (which was one of the main attractions for me) was incredible. We eat out regularly at fine dining restaurants in Melbourne, and Orpheus is up there. They seamlessly acommodated my dietary requirements (gluten free, alcohol free) and I never felt like I was missing out. Activities wise, it’s choose your own adventure, whether you want to laze by the pool with a cocktail, take a boat out with a picnic and go snorkelling, or explore the coastline in a kayak. The weather was beautiful, and the sunsets over the ocean are spectacular. This was such a special way for us to start our married life together, I can’t recommend it enough. Thank you to Nicole and the wonderful team who looked after us. We will be back!
