Connect with nature without leaving luxury – and without leaving a footprint – at Queensland’s eco resorts.
Sink your toes into the sand of untouched sanctuaries; renewably-powered resorts can be found dotted along Queensland’s coastline, from the Southern Great Barrier Reef to Townsville and The Whitsundays. Or wake up and breathe in the fresh air from your secluded banyan surrounded by World Heritage-listed rainforest. Queensland is packed with eco-friendly accommodation for your next holiday.
Queensland is home to world-class health and yoga retreats that will leave your body and mind recharged and re-inspired long after you return home. Downward dog with the sand between your toes and practice morning flow with the rainforest floor underneath your fingertips. Or get away from it all with fresh air, a good book and nature as your soundtrack. Historic hinterland lodges and health retreats can be found from the Gold Coast to the Wet Tropics.
Planning a family getaway? Escape the daily routine at one of Queensland’s best family resorts for a once-in-a-lifetime kid-friendly holiday experience. If you’re looking for adventure right outside your hotel room, you can’t go past the Sea World Resort and Water Park on the Gold Coast. Nor would you want to miss out on the action-packed experiences offered by O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat in the middle of Lamington National Park.
It’s not all waterslides and kids clubs. Experience hands-on marine life encounters on island eco-resorts and explore the world’s largest open-air aquarium in The Whitsundays. Sign up for junior reef rangers programs or learn about bush tucker and Indigenous culture on the doorstep of rugged national parks.
