A multi award-winning eco-retreat just over one hour’s drive south of Broome, Eco Beach Wilderness Retreat is a breathtaking resort set amongst the unique and pristine Kimberley environment.
Accommodation is provided in 25 luxurious Eco Villas and 30 safari-style Eco Tents. The centrepiece of the retreat is Jack’s, an ocean-front bar and restaurant with an “infinity” pool. Activities include daily yoga, health and relaxation treatments, nature walks and Indigenous tours.
Eco Beach Wilderness Retreat is the perfect place to spot wildlife, with the flatback turtle monitoring program occurring every nesting season to assist with research. Whale watching season is from June to September, and the retreat is home to agile wallabies, sea eagles and an abundance of other native species.
