Moon Author's Review
Pellew Island is a private island, given, as the legend has it, by industrial magnate and famed art collector Baron Von Thyssen to supermodel Nina Dyer, one of his many brides, as a wedding gift in 1957. Nina Dyer committed suicide some five years later, and Von Thyssen himself died in 2002. The island is now slated for development of four villas, which are up for sale. While there are no organized tours of the private island, fishermen from the small beach adjacent to Blue Hole can take visitors over for excellent snorkeling along the reefs around the island.
