Located less than 50m from a secluded beach and surrounded by parkland, Shingley Beach Resort is close enough to Airlie to walk to and far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet at night.
The resort specialises in self-contained holiday units ideal for Whitsunday Islands accommodation and exploration.
Want affordable, worry free Whitsunday mainland accommodation? We offer a large variety of units and penthouses overlooking the beautiful Whitsunday islands.
Shingley Beach Resort apartments are let as self-contained, self serviced apartments and as such, are serviced weekly. The units feature large balconies overlooking the Whitsunday Islands and Abel Point Marina.
So why settle for a cramped hotel room when you can relax in the spacious comfort of a self contained holiday unit for the same price! The Whitsundays is the perfect location for the family to relax.
Saltwater Pools.
The resort has not one but two saltwater pools. The Garden Pool features two dipping pools connected by a waterfall, a poolside BBQ and sun lounges. The Beachside Pool is much larger (approx. 16m long) and features a shaded wading area for children, a deep dive area (4m in depth) plus a poolside terrace overlooking the beach.
Conference Centre.
Located on the pool deck just behind the restaurant, Shingley Beach Resort conference centre represents over 130 square metres of space, with theatre seating for approx. 150 (banquet style - 120). Two smaller function rooms can also be created via a folding partition wall (Dolphin Room and Dugong Room). The conference centre is fully air-conditioned and features direct dial phones, modem/data points, full catering facilities, sound system, white boards, overhead projector and variable lighting. Ask management about our conference package deals as well as other exciting options (cocktails on the rooftop garden at sunset, marquee on the beach etc.)
Shingley Beach Resort Rooftop Garden.
For the exclusive use of beach resort patrons, the rooftop garden features spectacular views of Abel Point Marina, the Whitsunday Islands and Pioneer Bay. The perfect place to enjoy a quiet cocktail at sunset or a dinner BBQ with a difference. Currently being upgraded, the garden will eventually feature sun lounges, chairs, tables a bar/BBQ area and of course lots of tropical plants!
The Shingley Beach Resort Anchorage Restaurant & Bar.
This brand new, 120 seat restaurant specialises in fresh, local seafood and provides guests with a range of la carte dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant itself features 180 degree views of Shingley Beach, indoor/outdoor dining via folding windows/doors on the balcony, poolside bar, a massive skylight and an indoor waterfall.
Prosail Dive.
The resort's very own on-site dive school, providing in house guests with the option of introductory scuba dives or Open Water courses in the resort's specially designed dive pool. The Dive School also features classrooms and a small retail shop selling scuba and snorkel gear.
Shingley Beach Resort Reception / Booking Agency.
Located on the lower level of the resort, the reception doubles as a booking agency and can supply guests with comprehensive information about the hundreds of trips that leave daily (and weekly) for the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. In addition to well-defined brochure racks, the reception also features memorabilia on the culture and history of the Whitsunday Region.
Commercial Shops & Esplanade.
Located on either side of the reception, the shops and shaded esplanade walkway are currently being leased out and will add to the resort's integrated feel. Many of the proposed shops will provide additional services for Shingley Beach Resort guests.
Shingley Beach Resort is located at the end of a dead-end culdesac on Shingley Beach, approximately 5 minutes drive from central Airlie Beach. It is one of only three beach resorts on the mainland with true waterfront access. A coastal walkway provides access to Abel Point Marina and Village (5 mins), Cannonvale shops (10 mins), and Airlie Beach Lagoon (15 mins) without ever having to cross a road! Ideal for families wanting to wear out their kids!
Shingley Beach Resort is one of the closest accommodation houses to Abel Point (Airlie Beach's only marina development). It's a leisurely five minute stroll to shops, restaurants and hundreds of boat trips that leave daily for the islands and the reef from Airlie Beach. No car-parking problems, no expensive cab fares, no waiting for buses .....no worries!
Unlike Airlie Beach (which dries out to mud at low tide), Shingley Beach is an all-tide beach with few surrounding mangrove areas which means you can enjoy the view from the resort without being eaten alive by mosquitoes and sandflies.
Deep-water access adjacent to the beach (via a 400m long rocky promontory) and plenty of live bait ensures the fishing is great (just ask the locals - it's one of the favourite fishing spots in the area - mackerel, trevalley, whiting, barramundi and cod are all commonly caught!).
Parklands opposite the beach provide shaded picnic tables, toilets, a boat ramp and a fish cleaning area.
