I would recommend flying in from Perth, starting in Broome with a few days and then heading into the Kimberley. A must do in Broome is the cable beach sunset camel ride, there are two operators that do a very similar walk. Try to time it around the low tide so you have beautiful reflections whilst walking on wet sand. #RoadTrip ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6130646/61876d02-e7d1-49d1-abeb-bdc5663e0d3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) Photo by Lauren Bath ![](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6130646/61876d02-e7d1-49d1-abeb-bdc5663e0d3b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__price_find.svg) ### Change your mind Book hotels with free cancellation - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__deals.svg) ### Treat yourself Save instantly and earn perks with One Key [Learn about One Key](https://www.expedia.co.uk/welcome-one-key) - ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/travel-assets-manager/pictogram-bex/light__bed.svg) ### Be picky Search almost a million properties worldwide ## Check availability on Northern Australia Beach Resorts & Hotels Tonight [15 Jan - 16 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-15&endDate=2026-01-16&adults=2&amenities=BEACH&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=beach) Tomorrow [16 Jan - 17 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-16&endDate=2026-01-17&adults=2&amenities=BEACH&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=beach) This weekend [16 Jan - 18 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-16&endDate=2026-01-18&adults=2&amenities=BEACH&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=beach) Next weekend [23 Jan - 25 Jan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?regionId=6208895&startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-25&adults=2&amenities=BEACH&rfrr=TG.LP.CheckPrices.Hotel&openPlayBack=true&travelerType=beach) ## Our top choices for Northern Australia beach hotels ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119980000/119975900/119975820/c403f9a8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Standard Twin Room, Patio | In-room safe, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119980000/119975900/119975820/6476b7d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Suite, Patio | In-room safe, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119980000/119975900/119975820/2c72ecc4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Apartment, Courtyard View | In-room safe, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119980000/119975900/119975820/cab39b22.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Mysa Motel [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Mysa-Motel.h119975820.Hotel-Information) Palm Beach 10/10 Exceptional (3 reviews) "Fantastic overall will be returning again " ![Australia](https://a.travel-assets.com/egds/marks/flags/au.svg) Chris £156 includes taxes & fees 19 Jan - 20 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Mysa-Motel.h119975820.Hotel-Information) ![Aerial view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9730000/9724000/9723954/99d3602a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Flat-screen TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9730000/9724000/9723954/f42bdeaa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![View from property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9730000/9724000/9723954/8a83016c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ![Outdoor pool, pool umbrellas, pool loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9730000/9724000/9723954/c85d35d9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Magnetic Sunsets Resort [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horseshoe-Bay-Hotels-Magnetic-Sunsets-Resort.h9723954.Hotel-Information) Horseshoe Bay 9.2/10 Wonderful (53 reviews) "Immaculately presented.

Begin your adventure at the iconic Cable Beach in Broome, where 22 kilometres of pristine sands meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Here, you can indulge in a sunset camel ride, providing a unique perspective of the breathtaking landscape. Next, the stunning Lizard Island is perfect for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts, allowing you to explore vibrant coral reefs filled with marine life right off the beach. Don’t miss the chance to visit the world-renowned Great Barrier Reef – a UNESCO World Heritage site – where you can enjoy guided tours or opt for a luxury yacht charter for a day of exploration. For a more secluded experience, head to the untouched shores of Elquestro Wilderness Park, where you can relax in natural hot springs after a day of hiking through rugged terrain. If you’re seeking a convenient base, consider staying in Port Douglas, where luxurious beachfront hotels offer direct access to local attractions and attentive services. Here, you can unwind at a resort with infinity pools overlooking the ocean, making your beach getaway both convenient and pampering. ## Top Northern Australia Hotel Reviews ![Capri by Fraser, Brisbane](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9680000/9679700/9679656/0fe12e97_y.jpg) ### Capri by Fraser, Brisbane 10/10 Excellent "Great value for the quality and location " [](https://expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Capri-By-Fraser.h9679656.Hotel-Information) ![Novotel Surfers Paradise](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/200/109/fe5eec8c_y.jpg) ### Novotel Surfers Paradise 10/10 Excellent "staff nice " [](https://expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Novotel-Surfers-Paradise.h109.Hotel-Information) ![The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/7000/6921/6793c177_y.jpg) ### The Star Grand at The Star Gold Coast 10/10 Excellent "A great spot, fantastic pool, clean rooms, good location " [](https://expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Star-Grand-At-The-Star-Gold-Coast.h6921.Hotel-Information) ![Amora Hotel Brisbane](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/4700/4610/4f923fa3_y.jpg) ### Amora Hotel Brisbane 10/10 Excellent "Room was spotless and the staff was pleasant and welcoming.
