Those planning a visit to the new-look Fitzroy Island in Australia could first buy
online travel insurance for added peace of mind.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the island has changed its image in recent years. Formerly known primarily for its nudist beach, the island has been subject to a $100 million (around £45 million) redevelopment.
As a result, the Fitzroy Island Hunt Resort offers a range of apartments and hotels capable of hosting 450 people and is targeting both backpackers on a budget and higher-end tourists.
A gym, restaurants, shops and even a conference centre are all included as part of the new development, while a camping area has been improved in a bid to cater for visitors who prefer to keep their expenditure low.
Visitors can reach the island by ferry from both Port Douglas and Cairns and the trip takes less than an hour.
Worldwide travel insurance could be a benefit for anyone who makes the journey.
Fitzroy Island is situated close to the Great Barrier Reef, a natural structure so immense it can be seen from space.
