Double Island was discovered in 1848 by Captain Owen Stanley of HMS Rattlesnake while chartering the inner barrier reef. Before that Captain James Cook passed the island in the 1770s before running his ship into the Great Barrier Reef at Cape Tribulation. Even before this aboriginies are said to have inhabited Double Island for thousands of years, infact legend has it that Double Island is the resting place of the mythical Rainbow Serpent an aboriginal meta-physical being who controlled the worlds most precious resource; water. Once Captain Owen discovered Double Island it was then transformed into a survey centre and received its name, Double Island, from the two mountainous peaks on either side of the tropical island. Years later Double Island became a retreat for miners and today the luxurious island operates as an exclusive tropical island retreat that is rented on a ‘whole island’ basis.
Double Island is a short 30 minute boat ride from the mainland, directly off the coast of Palm Cove. Rich foliage covers the island and vast sandy beaches rim the coral shores. The beauty and serenity of Double Island is infinite and what you do while you’re there is completely up to you…
Double Island sleeps up to 50 people and caters for one group at a time. Whether it is a romantic island wedding, business conference of up to 180 people, incentive or event that you are after, Double Island accommodates eternal possibilities.
