Lord Howe Island is one of Australia’s best-kept secrets.
Just 600km off the New South Wales coast, this World Heritage-listed paradise is home to only around 380 permanent residents, making it one of the most exclusive and unspoilt destinations in Australia.
Visitor numbers are strictly capped at 400 at any one time to protect the island’s unique environment, pristine beaches, coral reefs and native wildlife.
Getting there is surprisingly easy. Direct flights operate from Sydney in under two hours.
No traffic lights. No crowds. No high-rise buildings.
Just crystal-clear water, incredible hiking trails, world-class snorkelling and a pace of life that feels a million miles away from the mainland.
Lord Howe Island is not just a destination. It’s a reminder of what Australia looked like before mass tourism.
