Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat

Incredible place. The food was outstanding. They’ve really found some super talented chefs and we ate like kings. The resort is relaxed, comfortable and nothing is too much trouble. We loved our stay. Thanks to the whole team.

Das Elysian Retreat ist perfekt um aus dem hektischen Alltag auszusteigen! Mit max. 20 Gästen ist es ruhig und sehr exklusiv, aber nicht abgehoben. Die Villas sind sehr schön und gemütlich. Das Essen is wunderbar. Nur der Service ist manchmal ein bisschen langsam, dafür aber immer bemüht und freundlich.

Where do I even begin? Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat is hands down one of the most magical and unforgettable places we’ve ever stayed at. We came here for our babymoon, and from the moment we arrived (actually, even before we arrived), the team went absolutely above and beyond to take care of us. Unfortunately, we had to miss the first night due to my wife’s pregnancy, and not only were the staff incredibly understanding – They handled everything: they booked our taxi, sorted the boat transfer, picked us up from the airport – they didn’t just make it easier, they made it seamless. Now the staff… I could write a book about how amazing they were. Every single person was warm, genuine, and attentive. But Alise – wow. She made us feel like family from day one. She was kind, patient, and always made sure we were comfortable, especially knowing we had special dietary requirements. My wife is in her second trimester of pregnancy, and they made sure every single meal was safe for the baby – they actually catered her entire menu to suit pregnancy guidelines. On top of that, we eat halal, and again – they went above and beyond. They sourced halal meat, made sure everything prepared for us was halal, and communicated with us every day to ensure we felt comfortable and cared for. It honestly felt like they were thinking about us with every decision they made, especially when it came to meals. Even on the boat ride, they made sure my wife had the smoothest seat with the least bumps from the ocean – something we never asked for, but they just did it because they genuinely cared. That level of attention is rare. And the food – honestly, some of the best food we’ve ever had. Everything was fresh, full of flavour, beautifully presented, and the drinks were just as impressive. The resort itself is stunning. The pool is crystal clear, the views are like something out of a movie, and the rooms – peaceful, clean, and surrounded by nature. You can tell this place is designed to help you truly disconnect and recharge. We couldn’t extend our flights, and once again, they saved the day by arranging early transport for us with no stress at all. If you’re considering a trip to the Whitsundays – this is it. We did the Whitehaven Beach tour which was a dream come true – bucket list vibes for sure. The weather, the water, the serenity – unforgettable. We’re already planning when we can come back. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Elysian, thank you for making our babymoon so special. — Nouri & Nadra

It was so beautiful. The staff were amazing, the food was delicious, we had the best time.

Can’t say enough good things about this resort! Book it and pay for the short helicopter ride to the resort from the Hamilton Island airport…worth the expense! Resort will arrange the flight for you and will assist with luggage storage. Resort staff was amazing, meals were delicious, nice wine selection. Absolutely no complaints about our 3 night stay other than it wasn’t long enough. Do take bug spray as the Midge bites are no joke.
