Dining & Entertainment |

Then of course there is the cuisine - one of the true highlights of an “Orpheus Experience”. Our setting is a relaxed open- air restaurant with wonderful views across the ocean. Dining at Orpheus is an indulgence - from breakfast, to al fresco lunches in the courtyard, and finally each evening a seven course degustation-style gourmet dinner. Our chef prepares a new menu daily with the emphasis being on seafood and exotic delicacies.

Activities |
|
Complimenting the peace and tranquillity of Orpheus Island Resort, the activities are plentiful. Imagine a lazy day in paradise with a picnic lunch on your own private beach with time to snorkel with an amazing array of tropical fish and coral. Or for the more adventurous, why not take a day trip and scuba dive on the outer reef, or board your own motorised dinghy and discover the many secluded bays of the Island’s national park. Alternatively, you can opt to do nothing at all and just relax in a hammock by the beach. The options are endless. One certainty is that at Orpheus you will find the perfect sanctuary.
Included in the tariff are all meals, welcome drink and platter, use of tennis court, pools, gymnasium, motorised dinghies, canoes, catamarans, paddle skis, snorkelling equipment, light fishing gear and selected interpretive activities.
With the island’s close proximity to the reef, scuba diving and snorkelling are major attractions. Surrounding the island are 340 species of coral and over 1,000 species of fish. Snorkelling is complimentary and Scuba Diving is available for experienced divers at an additional cost.
