BreakFree Long Island info

A gorgeous forested island 9km's long and only 400 meters wide, Long Island is a laid back tropical paradise and the closest of the Whitsunday Islands to the mainland. Despite its size there are over 20km of National Park with walking tracks, local flora and fauna and of course the beautiful beaches and coral fringing reefs; the perfect place for relaxation and snorkelling.

With water transfers lasting just 30 minutes, from either Hamilton Island or Shute Harbour, guests at the Long Island Resort can be in their room and out enjoying the facilities in no time at all. The laid back, family friendly alternative accommodation on Long Island is jam packed with things to do. For the energetic, there are a wide variety of water sports, or opportunities to discover multicoloured coral and fish on a snorkelling tour of the fringing reef just offshore.

But holidays aren't just about being active and busy all the time, so Long Island resort also has facilities for guests who prefer to take things easy. You can relax in a hammock in the shade of the coconut palms, or take a romantic stroll along the waters edge. Sip cocktails and soak up the sun by the pool bar, or unwind with a soothing spa treatment at the Club Spa.
