Island Palms Resort
Set along the Nelly Bay esplanade, Island Palms Resort offers relaxed island accommodation within easy reach of the beach, marina and local cafés. The fully self-contained 2-bedroom apartments make it a comfortable option for families, couples or longer island stays, with some apartments enjoying glimpses of the Coral Sea from their private balconies.
The resort’s heated swimming pool is a standout, especially during the cooler months, while the half basketball court and table tennis keep things fun for families and groups. The beach is right across the road, making morning walks and sunset strolls easy.
With the island bus stop just a minute away, Island Palms Resort also makes a handy base for exploring Magnetic Island’s bays, walking tracks and attractions without needing to drive everywhere.
WHAT WE LOVE
Right on the Esplanade: Step outside and you’re straight onto the Nelly Bay foreshore, perfect for a morning walk, an afternoon by the water or watching the colours change across the bay.
Room to Settle In: The self-contained two-bedroom apartments give families and longer-stay visitors plenty of space, with the convenience of having your own kitchen and living areas.
Swim All Year Round: The heated swimming pool is a big plus, especially through Maggie’s cooler winter months when you still want to make the most of a pool day.
Plenty for the Kids: Between swims, there’s table tennis and a half court to keep younger travellers entertained when you’re having some downtime at the resort.
Leave the Car Behind: With the island bus stopping nearby, it’s easy to head for Alma Bay, Horseshoe Bay, The Forts or Picnic Bay and explore more of Maggie without needing your own wheels.
