Loloata Island

Loloata means "one hill" and is a stunning Island only 20 minutes from the International Airport. It is located in Bootless Bay and looks back at the beautiful mountains of the mainland. A long jetty greets you to take you right up to the resort.

 
It is an aquatic wonderland of discovery for snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiasts. Local divers, island guests and our scuba schools enjoy escorted trips to nearby reefs and Lion Island, which is famous for its many species or hard corals. And for the initiated, Loloata's world class scuba services offer adventurous wreck dives throughout Bootless Bay, night dives and superb diving excursions to nearby Horshoe Reef Marine Park.

You can walk all the way along the peak which runs the length of the island amongst the wallabies that inhabit the island. Spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed at sunset around the back of the dining area along a pathway built for this enjoyment. Hors d'oeuvre are served on the patio beside the bar every evening promptly at six o'clock.

This is by all means a perfect Island weekend getaway you can enjoy only 21/2 hours from mainland Australia.
