Brampton Island sits at the southern
entrance of the Whitsunday Passage. Brampton Island is a blue water, white sand
tropical island haven. Almost entirely National Park, Brampton has seven
glorious beaches and its own coral reef.
 Covering
460 Hectares, Brampton Island is located in the Cumberland Group of
Islands, 32 km north-east of Mackay at the Southern entrance to the
Whitsunday Passage. On Brampton Island Resort the magic begins the moment you
arrive - with a tropical drink and a welcoming smile. Before you know
it, the shoes are off, the swimmers are on and you're off to explore
this tropical paradise. With all the activities on offer, appetites are
sure to be big - so it's just as well all meals are included in the
tariff. 4 grades of accommodation are on offer at Brampton Island Resort from the
bright and compact Palm and Island View Rooms to the spectacular uninterrupted beach
and Whitsunday Passage views of the Premium Ocean View Rooms.
 Brampton
Island Resort has the A to Z of activities And whatever you want to do, our fun-loving
staff are there to help you make the most of it. Like advice on the best
spots to fish or snorkel? Just ask. Maybe a few tips on sailboarding?
Sure thing! Like all non-motorised water sports on Brampton, instruction
is free. On Brampton Island you can discover our very own coral
reef by snorkelling the underwater adventure trail. Trips to the Great
Barrier Reef can also be arranged or you might just want to explore the
island on a leisurely bushwalk through the National Park. Perhaps a
round of chip and putt golf. Maybe take the mini-train to the daily fish
feeding. Or how about a game of tennis or a few serves of beach
volleyball? Then again, you could simply laze on the beach or by the
pool. In the evening, you can enjoy live entertainment. |
