Perfect for one.
But made for two.
Couples
A secluded setting for anniversaries, birthdays, honeymoons, proposals or simply time together without the distractions.
Slow travellers
Come for a few nights and let King Island set the pace.
Golfers
King Island is a particularly strong golf destination, with Cape Wickham and King Links both recognised among Australia's notable courses.
Food lovers
Bring home King Island beef, cheese and seafood and make dinner your own.
Your island. Your itinerary.
Lola gives you a front-row seat to the wild beauty of King Island but there's plenty more waiting beyond the villa.
Spend the morning exploring windswept beaches and rugged coastline, discover the island's remarkable history and wildlife, play a round on one of Australia's most extraordinary golf courses, or take your time discovering the local producers, cellar doors and island-made treasures.
There's no need to fill every moment. Some days are made for exploring, others are made for coming home to Lola, running a bath and watching the light change across the water.
Here, the best itinerary is your own. Explore some of our favourite King Island Treasures below.
Cape Wickham Golf Links
World-class golf where the fairways meet Bass Strait.
King Links Golf Course
Wild, windswept and beautifully remote.
The Shipwrecks
Discover the stories behind its many historic shipwrecks. A fascinating stop for history lovers, photographers and curious travellers.
Martha Lavinia Beach
Miles of pristine coastline to wander, swim or simply take in.
Calcified Forest
One of the island's most unusual natural landscapes.
Seal Rocks Walk
A spectacular stretch of coastline and an opportunity to experience King Island's wild side.
King Island Brewhouse
Stop in for a cold pour, something delicious to eat and a little time soaking up the easygoing character of King Island.
King Island Dairy
A true King Island institution, King Island Dairy has been crafting exceptional specialty cheeses from the island's rich, pristine milk for decades.
King Island Lighthouse
This iconic lighthouse offers sweeping Bass Strait views and a beautiful glimpse into the island's maritime history.
Stargazing on King Island
With minimal light pollution and wide-open skies, King Island is the perfect place to slow down and look up. On a clear night, the stars are simply spectacular.
A little island.
A very big escape.
In the middle of Bass Strait, King Island feels wonderfully removed from the everyday. There are no crowded resort strips or packed itineraries here. Instead, you'll find wild coastlines, empty beaches, rolling farmland, world-class golf, exceptional produce and a pace of life that encourages you to stay a little longer.
King Island sits approximately 80km from Tasmania's north-west coast and is reached by air, with flights from Melbourne 35 minutes to one hour.
The journey is part of the escape. Once you're here, having your own car gives you the freedom to explore.

Come for the view. Stay for the feeling.
There are places you visit and places that make you exhale.
Lola is the latter.
Set on the rugged western coast of King Island, this intimate coastal retreat offers uninterrupted views across Ettrick Bay and Bass Strait, with the wild Southern Ocean stretching endlessly beyond.
Designed for couples, solo travellers and anyone craving a little distance from everyday life, Lola gives you permission to slow down.
Wake slowly. Make coffee. Watch the weather roll across the water. Run a bath beneath the open sky. Cook local produce on the BBQ. Light the fire. Do absolutely nothing.
This is island living, with a little more luxury.
