Your Brampton Island Guide


Update: the Brampton Island resort closed for major renovation work in January 2011. It is being upgraded to a world-class standard boutique style resort, to offer guests the very finest in accommodation and facilities, and is expected to reopen in early 2012. In the meantime, plenty of resort accommodation is available in the Whitsunday Islands.

Brampton Island is situated just off the coast of sunny Queensland, and provides you with the perfect location for a truly idyllic island getaway (please see the update above).

With crystal clear blue water, a dozen soft white sandy beaches, lush green flora and a wide selection of things to see and do, it doesn’t get much better than Brampton Island. The National Park walking trails allow you to experience the beauty of the island up close and in all it’s glory, and find your own quiet corner to enjoy this truly peaceful paradise.
