Lord Howe Island, New South Wales – A Hidden Paradise in the Pacific
Luxury, Seclusion, and Nature at Its Purest
Unspoiled and under-the-radar, Lord Howe Island is one of Australia’s best-kept secrets. This crescent-shaped island, fringed with coral reefs and home to just 400 residents, is the ultimate off-the-grid honeymoon for couples seeking total seclusion and jaw-dropping natural beauty.
This island is a UNESCO World Heritage site, with visitor numbers capped to preserve its pristine ecosystem. That means no crowds—just untouched beaches, clear waters, and time to focus on each other.
