The reef experience on Heron is exclusively for guests, no day-trippers, and there is a relaxed island lifestyle that sets Heron apart, a sophisticated yet casual resort atmosphere. Here the emphasis is on exploring and discovering the natural attractions that have made Heron famous around the world.                                                   Book Now!!

All rooms have en suite bathrooms and such well planned extras as an umbrella, beach towels and a ceiling fan.

Resort facilities include a boutique, swimming pool, dive centre, evening entertainments including new release films and a reference library. All meals are included and of course there is a casual bar & lounge featuring panoramic reef views.
