This award winning Whitsunday resort is a popular haven for visitors to the Great Barrier Reef. While the children are being entertained in the kids club, relax under the palm trees on the beach or enjoy some of the countless island activities or explore the 20 kilometres of bush walks considered by many to be some of the prettiest in the Whitsunday Islands group.

The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Enjoy the variety of evening entertainment at Long Island Resort including karaoke, musical acts, games night, casino night or beach party night.
