Billionaire's paradise unveiled on private island
Far North Queensland is set to attract celebrities and billionaires with a lavish new private inland destination.
Click through for a peek into the lifestyle of the rich and famous on holiday.
It's the kind of spot James Bond might hang out waiting for his next mission.
Or a reclusive billionaire could hole up out of the media glare for a while.
Because this lavish new private villa isn't accessible to the everyday traveller.
Accessible only by a private helicopter charter or superyacht from Cairns or Townsville, the home is within untouched bush on its own private island.
It is described as "the Great Barrier Reef's most secluded private residence, where adventure meets luxury."
It has five luxurious suites designed by Melbourne design and interior architecture studio, Dubois, and is for rent via Northern Escape Collection.
The designers say the holiday home is "crafted with clean-lines and a contemporary aesthetic" and is "decorated with natural linen fabrics, hand-made custom furniture and lavish en-suites with spotted gum benchtops."
"Natural hardwood timber posts and hand-sanded feature columns support the expansive cathedral-inspired ceilings, with Palladian limestone and quartzite stone benchtops throughout," the creators say.
There's no need to worry about your carbon footprint while staying - the home is powered only by solar panels and batteries, making it self-sufficient.
As well as lounging by the pool, Great Barrier Reef activities including diving and snorkelling, guided jet ski and sea bob tours, and reef fishing are all on offer, as well as boat charters to the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA).
The island also provides access to the untouched wilderness of Hinchinbrook Island, Australia's largest island national park, home to rainforest-clad hiking trails, waterfalls and wildlife.
And you don't have to worry abut getting hungry- a private chef awaits, alongside a fully stocked bar, teppanyaki grill, barbeque and pizza oven.
Pelorus Private Island is part of Australian Rich Lister and Executive Chairman of Morris Group, Chris Morris' $418m North Queensland tourism portfolio.
"We're already starting to fill the year with bookings and can't wait to share this exceptional product with guests from around the globe," Morris said.
The destination's pool blends in with the epic Coral Sea views.
