IF YOU’RE a young, single male heading to Lizard Island anytime soon, you’d better be on the lookout!

Sunburn, too much alcohol and noisy fellow hotel guests will be the least of your holiday worries.

The idyllic spot has just been voted the top destination in Australian and New Zealand for cougars seeking some much-needed time out – and some ‘prey’.

More than a fifth of those surveyed picked Lizard Island as their favourite getaway, followed by the Crown Metropol in Perth (17.5 per cent).

Blanket Bay in New Zealand came in at third place with 16.7 per cent, while the Louise Lodge in Marananga, South Australia was the next choice at 15.3 per cent.

Three quarters of respondents plan to hook up during their break, and more than half have their sights set on the hotel staff.

Popular activities include heading to the spa for a sensual massage – and requesting a male attendant in the hopes he’s ‘young, buff and good with his hands’ (33 per cent of respondents). Many also confessed to having an affinity for cabana boys (50 per cent), while a risqué 13.8 per cent admitting to spicing things up by inviting a third person to the mix.

When contacted by news.com.au most resorts were surprised by their nomination.
