The once-in-a-lifetime competition is being offered by the current owners, who wish to give someone the opportunity to run their business, whilst raising money through the raffle sale.
'Rather than sell this precious oasis to the highest bidder, we thought it would be amazing for our resort to be placed in the hands of someone who truly fell in love with it – to make someone's dream come true,' says owner and manager Doug.
'We've felt so privileged to act as stewards of this tropical paradise for 15 years, and since we like to do things differently – we once raised over $45,000 through crowdfunding to have solar panels installed in the resort - we realised a raffle would be an exciting and world-first way to pass on the resort's ownership.'
Entrants who don't walk away with the grand prize will not leave empty handed, as with each pack of tickets bought comes one or more ocean-themed images by award-winning artist Matt Shepherd.
Individual $49 (£33) tickets come with a downloadable image that can be printed on canvas or paper and framed, with ten tickets priced at $264 (£180) inclusive of 10 Matt Shepherd images.
The winner will be announced on July 26, with keen individuals able to purchase their tickets on the competition's website.
