Luxury Lord Howe Island

Updated 13 Dec 2024

Lord Howe Island is the perfect backdrop for any holiday, but why not make it extra special with a stay at one of these luxury accommodation options!

Indulge in the ultimate escape with a luxury getaway to Lord Howe Island, a World Heritage-listed paradise in the heart of the Tasman Sea. This exclusive destination offers a rare blend of pristine natural beauty and high-end comfort. From secluded beaches and crystal-clear waters to dramatic volcanic peaks and lush subtropical forests, Lord Howe is a sanctuary for the discerning traveller.

Our curated luxury packages include stays at the island’s finest lodges, where personalised service, gourmet dining, and breathtaking views are standard. Whether you're snorkeling in the turquoise lagoon, hiking Mount Gower, or simply unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the Pacific, every moment is designed for tranquility and indulgence.

Guests can enjoy bespoke experiences such as private guided tours, sunset cruises, and in-room spa treatments, ensuring your time on Lord Howe Island is both relaxing and unforgettable. With no mobile reception and limited internet, this is a true digital detox - where luxury means space, serenity, and connection to nature.

Arajilla Retreat

On the northern sheltered end of the Island’s lagoon, under the canopy of Kentia Palms and Banyan Trees, sits the laidback luxury resort, Arajilla Retreat. Arajilla is derived from an aboriginal word roughly translated as “a mystical place to rest”. A stay here is certainly restful and a treat for the senses with a renowned restaurant, serene Wellness Spa and a special connection to nature as you meander through native gardens to the beach. With just 12 luxuriously appointed suites, you are guaranteed privacy. To ensure you have a tranquil experience, Arajilla Retreat welcomes children 6 years and above into the Banyan & Arajilla Suites only. All holiday packages are inclusive of all meals & beverages (including quality wines, beer, sparkling & spirits), return airport transfers, complimentary wifi in the lounge, use of bicycles, light fishing gear & snorkelling gear. Arajilla also provides an idyllic setting for your wedding or honeymoon with packages available for both.

Capella Lodge

Another stunning boutique accommodation on Lord Howe Island is Capella Lodge. This property is situated at the foot of Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird with ocean views overlooking the secret beach at Lovers Bay. The décor of Capella Lodge is beach-house chic with plenty of natural light and open plan areas to bring the outdoors in. The suites are breathtaking, all very spacious (45m2 up to 160m2) with opulent touches that create a tranquil atmosphere that rivals any home away from home.

From Gowers Terrace, guests can end their day with a dip in the horizon pool or relax with a sundowner & canapes (which are included along with premium wines from the open bar nightly from 6pm!). All meals are included as well so you don’t have to pull out your wallet during your stay. You can even take your lunch to go as a picnic or barbeque pack so you make the most of your days out and about exploring the island. During your stay, why not try the “Gower’s Foot Therapy” at Capella Spa, perfect for those tired legs after scaling Lord Howe’s majestic peaks.

Capella Lodge welcomes children 10 years of age and over.

Admiralty Apartments

Offering exclusive and tranquil retreat style accommodation and ideal for couples seeking luxury and privacy, Admiralty Apartments are nestled adjacent to the renowned Ned’s Beach.
These two self-contained, one-bedroom apartments are set amidst lush tropical gardens, providing serene ocean views through a canopy of palm trees. Each apartment is meticulously designed with high-end finishes, featuring a plush king-sized bed, a spacious open-plan living area, and a private deck equipped with a barbecue for alfresco dining.
