Mercure Resort Great Keppel Island Queensland Australia

Fringed by 17 separate white sand beaches encircling its 28 kilometre shoreline like a pearl shell necklace, Great Keppel Island offers an unique holiday destination.

Almost astride the Tropic of Capricorn, Great Keppel enjoys a sub-tropical climate and near constant sea breezes which combined with the turquoise crystal of its water creates a holiday escape unique to the region.

Laced with picturesque walking trails, the island lists 10 different tracks ranging from a 15 minute beach walk to a hike to the lighthouse at the island’s tip.

A sanctuary to extensive native flora and fauna including more than 100 species of bird life including kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, drongos and a diverse range of seabirds and with strong Aboriginal heritage links, Great Keppel Island is more than a place to lie in the sun.

Its accessibility – 20 minutes by air from Rockhampton, 30 minutes by high speed catamaran from Rosslyn Bay near Yeppoon and only 696 kilometres north of Brisbane – makes it a getaway which can be reached with a minimum of travel.

The Mercure Resort combines gracious Queensland hospitality, comfortable accommodation and abundant facilities for guests seeking to enjoy the islands many facets while indulging in a traditional holiday focused on families, friends, couples and relaxation.

Whether your perfect holiday consists of balmy days cocktail in hand under a palm tree, a hit of golf, snorkelling, or all of the above you’ll be moved by the beauty and charm of this magical island.
