Resting just eight kilometres off Townsville’s coast, in Far North Queensland, Magnetic Island certainly lives up to its name. With over half the island designated as unspoilt national park, and boasting more than 25kms of pristine walking tracks, this destination is certainly a magnetic getaway to say the least. As a result, hundreds of thousands of visitors flock to this alluring island each year. Luckily for tourists, hotels in Magnetic Island are in abundance.
Many of the island’s hotels are situated within one of the four main villages along the eastern coast. When it comes to budget accommodation, the best towns on the island for these are Horseshoe Bay and Arcadia. These spots predominantly cater for the thrill-seeking, pub-visiting tourist, who prefers cheap backpacker accommodation. These villages include guesthouses, motels and hostels for tourists.
The more high-end and trendy hotels, resorts and lodgings upon Magnetic Island are found in Nelly Bay. This part of the island has received the most redevelopment in recent times, leading to a newer, fresher and more stylish array of accommodation. There are several four and five star options available, which offer unrivaled comfort, services and amenities. Many of the higher-priced properties are located along the water-front, which provide irresistible views of the Coral Sea.
To avoid disappointment, always make hotel reservations before reaching the island, as hotels, motels, resorts and apartment complexes can fill up quickly.
