March 2002: In the most recent survey of �sophisticated travellers� polled in the famed Andrew Harper�s Hideaway Report, Lizard Island is the only Australian property that rates. Listed as number 11 in the world of top international resort hotels and number four in the category of top international resort hideaways with fewer than 50 rooms.

According to Harper, exotic corners of the world were coming into vogue and interest in Australia is on the rise.

The Harper�s Award follows the recent prestigious Conde Nast Traveller magazine annual awards wins. Lizard Island was awarded the top position in the �Top 25 Pacific Resorts� category and number 19 in the �Best of the Best� category which featured resorts worldwide.
