Dunk Island

Dunk Island was known to the first inhabitants as 'Coonanglebah' - the isle of peace and plenty. Today, the palm-fringed beaches and lush rainforests of this tropical island are ideal for those who want to enjoy time out or the time of their lives. The resort is located in a National Park, and lies midway between Townsville and Cairns, off the coast of Mission Beach.

With so many amazing activities to choose from on Dunk, it's hard to decide what to do next - horse-riding along the beach, rainforest walks, catamarans, tandem sky diving, golf, or visiting the island farm. For a change of pace, get away from it all to a sun-soaked beach with a gourmet picnic hamper, or indulge yourself at the Spa of Peace and Plenty, with treatments designed to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.

For a family holiday, there are plenty of things to do together, but when mum and dad want some time out, the Kids Club gives three to 12 year olds plenty to do. All 160 rooms are well-appointed with four grades of accommodation, each with beach or tropical garden views. On this family-friendly island children also stay and eat free.
