You can choose from oceanfront Eco Villas and Eco Tents, villas and tents that have partial ocean views, or you can opt for a Kimberley coastal bushland experience. Whichever accommodation location you choose, the beach is only a stroll away, and you can fall asleep to the sighing sound of the waves every night.

As we are an Eco friendly resort, all villas will receive a mini service after every 2nd night of your stay. Stays over 7 nights will be provided with a linen change after their 4th night. If you would like your villa serviced daily, simply ask one of the friendly reception staff.
Our Eco Villas are self-contained with tableware and the essentials for cooking up a holiday storm: microwave, toaster, kettle, bar fridge and a shared barbeque. You can share a meal with other guests at tables provided at the central outdoor barbeque meeting area, set amongst the coastal vegetation, or dine alone in the comfort of your air-conditioned villa.
If you’re staying in an Eco Tent, you can also cook your own meals in a shared self-catering tent, which contains a microwave, single hotplate, kettle, fridge space and barbeque. Picnic sets with all the essential tableware are also available for Eco Tent guests (for a small deposit). Dine in the shared outdoor dining area, set amongst the coastal bush, or on your private tent deck. There is also an esky in each tent with ice available for purchase.
Our accommodation is mainly powered by the Kimberley sun. If you’re staying in a villa this means you can dry your hair, but you can’t microwave your dinner at the same time! You can only plug in one electrical appliance at a time.
The tents are limited to 2 amps of power, this power level can support a mobile or camera charger however a hair dryer cannot be operated. However, if you’re staying in a tent we have a private designated area for you to use your hair dryer. Both tents and villas have a 240kw output.
We will launch and retrieve your boat using one of our vehicles at a fee of $50. Maximum size of a boat is 5 metres.
This is very tide and weather dependant.
Contact Eco Beach Resort reception at least 24 hours before your arrival to notify reception you are considering bringing your boat. We will allocate a mooring to you, subject to availability. When you arrive at Eco Beach, you are responsible to off-load your passengers at the beach. Once you have done this, take your boat to a mooring with a kayak attached to it. This kayak is there for your use to transfer to and from your boat.
Yes! Our villas and tents are very child friendly.

Eco Beach is a safe place to swim; we are no different to any other north west coastal location. Eco Beach experiences tidal rips, large tidal movement, shore breaks and sandbanks. Our waters contain a rich array of marine life, including humpback whales, dolphins, manta rays, sharks, turtles and the odd transient crocodile during the wet season. The same cautionary measures apply to swimming at Eco Beach as they do at any beach in Australia.
Marine stingers are not present between May and October. Marine stingers may be present during the wet season from November to April.

Our renowned organic gardens supply 70% of the resort kitchen’s fresh produce needs enabling our chef to create fresh, delicious meals using the finest seasonal organic ingredients nature has to offer. We source our grains and meats from the best growers in Western Australia and our fish is plucked straight out of the Indian Ocean.

Eco Beach Resort promotes “fishing for the future”. After you catch enough for your dinner (one Kimberley fish should be ample), we ask you to please practice environmentally responsible “catch and release” fishing. This includes using suitable tackle for the species that you are targeting and minimising the time spent to land the fish. You can cook up your catch using the share barbecue facilities.
No, but we have our own natural full moon phenomenon – the spectacular full moon rising up over the bush plains of Yardogarra country. At Eco Beach, the horizon extends as far as the eye can see – a full 360º. From the resort’s elevated heli-pad, you are perfectly placed to witness the rising full moon, an experience that will leave you breathless and convinced of the moon’s spiritual power. And you will revel in the stunning clarity of the northern stars and milky way.
