Lord Howe Island is offering a new luxury retreat set in the heart of the Banyan forest two minutes walk from Old Settlement Beach.

Arajilla, which loosely translated means mystical place to rest, offers ten architecturally designed suites and two family self contained apartments, fluffy towels, great hospitality and a restaurant that offers exceptional dining.

Less than two hours by plane from Sydney or Brisbane, with a climate best described as �perpetual spring�, Lord Howe is an island of contrasts described by many travellers as �the most beautiful island in the world�. The sheer plunging cliffs, rainforests, sandy beaches and turquoise coloured reefs bursting with sea life, provide endless holiday adventures.

It is enough to be surrounded by the visual splendour but for those who thrive on activity there are spectacular bush walks, an underwater wonderland of the world�s southern-most coral reefs, tennis, surfing and golf. Cycling is the mode of transport commonly used by all, which gives visitors the sense of freedom and fun. A wilderness playground for children and adults alike.

Arajilla�s accommodation has been designed to co exist with the beauty of the native Banyan trees that dominate the Arajilla site, with a dense carpet of Kentia palms providing privacy. With a maximum of 22 beds an intimate experience is guaranteed. Pathways meander through the resort connecting suites and family units to the bbq areas, the lagoon and restaurant.

To celebrate the September opening, if you choose to book and stay at Arajilla hospitality in September or October 2002 you will be packed off with a complimentary picnic hamper including a bottle of wine for you to enjoy in blissful Lord Howe seclusion.
