Wilson Island

Featuring 6 luxury safari-style permanent tents, the island can only accommodate up to 12 lucky guests at a time ensuring privacy and an intimate experience as well as ensuring the island’s pristine conditions are maintained for both the integrity of the land but also its endemic inhabitants. Whom exists in abundance.

The majestic and many-legged pandanus trees overlook the white sand beaches lapped by azure waters barely hiding the vibrant reefs bursting with colourful corals and tropical fish. Every direction on Wilson Island holds an aesthetic delight!
