Out of the very few luxury resorts located on Lord Howe Island, Capella’s location is hard to beat, with the twin peaks of Mount Gower and Mount Lidgbird towering above it, and the incredibly romantic Lover’s Bay spread out at its foot. The ocean, the reef and the mountains seem to run right to the doorstep of this luxury resort which is set on one of the island’s most picturesque bays.
With only nine contemporary suites at the lodge, guests get a personal experience with their hosts and the surrounding area. The architecture gets its inspiration from classic Australian beach houses, showcasing tropical barefoot luxury at its finest. The restaurant, bar and lounge areas in particular capture the immense views around the resort owing to several clever architectural touches.
The Lodge Restaurant is widely regarded as one of the best eateries on Lord Howe Island, and Capella Lodge expands on this with its breezy open-air patio, Gower’s Terrace. An infinity pool provides plenty of incentive to stay put on a sunny day. Other recreational options include snorkelling above one of Pacific’s finest reefs or chill out on the white-sand beach.
