Makepeace Island - Private Island Luxury Resort

Main Information

Makepeace is your private island sanctuary within minutes of Noosa or 20 minutes’ drive from Sunshine Coast Airport. It combines modern contemporary living with traditional tropical island design, creating a tranquil environment that is in complete harmony with nature.

The Australian home is owned (and used) by Sir Richard Branson and Brett Godfrey, it has been created to accommodate up to 22 castaways in luxurious seclusion, with all the attractions of the Sunshine Coast just a short boat-ride away.

After alighting at the heart-shaped island’s private dock, you’ll be shown to your villa (one of only three), Island house or The Boathouse.

The island’s 25 acres are mostly bushland, the perfect place to stroll and discover many species of birdlife, or perhaps take out the island “tinnie” and try a spot of river fishing. You’ll also find plenty of resort attractions/equipment including: tennis, kayaks, cooking classes, paddle boards, outdoor cinema and media room.

Noosa’s famous beaches, restaurants, surf school and fishing grounds are just a few minutes upstream. The Great Barrier Reef is less than an hour away by charter flight.

All the Makepeace buildings were designed and constructed in Bali before being shipped to Australia. The furnishings, sculptures, antiques and lighting are bespoke pieces acquired throughout Indonesia.

Sunshine Coast

With plentiful wildlife, breath-taking beaches and abundant sun, the Sunshine Coast is an incredible holiday-destination for all travellers. The region is known for its glorious, golden beaches and contrasting lush green hinterlands. Whilst the coastal activities are enough for most visitors (fishing and surfing), there is also plenty to be discovered in the surrounding townships.

The Sunshine Coast experiences a favoured climate all-year round, making it a very versatile holiday destination.
