Eat & Drink

Dining in
Heart-melting settings don’t come much better than on the pier at Orpheus Island, where dinner is served under a starlit sky.  Your ‘Dining with the Tides’ experience features a seven course tasting menu with highlights including scampi grilled with preserved lemons and garlic, and coriander and garlic confit of Muscovy duckling served with trumpet mushrooms and Parma ham.

Diehard sweet-tooths will adore the shamelessly calorific fried coconut-crusted Belgian chocolate with a hazelnut liqueur cone. Best of all, all this indulgnce is included in your tariff.

Buffet breakfast is served until 10 am

Room service
Available morning and evening.

See & Do

See & do
Orpheus is made for just chilling, but there are plenty of activities on offer to keep you as busy as you want. Included in your tariff are canoeing, water skiiing, snorkelling, outings in a motorised dinghy, guided walks through the island’s national park terrain, fishing, day and night tennis and heaps more. In addition to this you can arrange scuba diving, game fishing, take a tour of the reefs, go tropical fish-feeding, charter a seaplane or go on a cruise on the resort’s own catamaran. Phew.

A range of spa treatments – from a Wuri Julma massage to Yiri Julaymba spa therapy – will leave you preened and pampered.
