The Resort
Long Island Resort is both enchanting and informal, surrounded by National Park with 20 km of bush walks, where you can take a hamper lunch to one of the many deserted beaches and enjoy the crystal clear waters of the Whitsundays! The island is located in the enchanting Whitsundays and is a tropical island getaway surrounded by National Parks and sparkling blue waters.
This resort at Long Island is a popular holiday haven for visitors to the Whitsunday region. Here you can relax under the palm trees on the beach or spend the day waterskiing, parasailing, island hopping, cruising, playing tennis or exploring the 20 kms of bush walks considered by many to be some of the prettiest in the Whitsunday Islands group.
Our consultants regularly visit Long Island to improve their product knowledge - view some of their recent photos here.

"...We had a fantastic trip to Long Island... the Long Island Resort is probably not the most exquisite resort in the Whitsundays, but it is definitely the one that suited us the best.
The trip started with a great and fast transport to the island. Upon arrival we were upgraded to a beachfront room, which we really appreciated. The buffet of the hotel has a big choice of different foods, all very tasty, specially the sea-food on saturday. Delicious...
During our stay we indulged in so many of the offered activities, such as tennis, mini-golf, scuba diving, mini-catamaran-sailing etc. The weather in the Whitsundays was also excellent. We can definitely recommend for young people as well as for families, it was definitely a great value."Ben H., Germany
