Fringed by 17 white sand beaches encircling its 28km shoreline like a pearl shell necklace, Great Keppel Island offers a 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 waters 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 696km north of Brisbane – makes it a getaway which can be reached with a minimum of travel.

The Mercure Resort Great Keppel Island combines gracious Queensland hospitality, comfortable accommodation and abundant facilities for guests seeking to enjoy the island’s 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.

With stunning natural beauty, 17 secluded beaches, 40 free leisure activities, a kids club, 5 pools and a variety of great restaurants and bars Great Keppel Island offers something for everyone.
