Tropical Palms Resort and 4WD Hire

Just 200 metres from Picnic Bay Beach and a relaxed 10-minute walk from the Magnetic Island Country Club, Tropical Palms Resort offers comfortable, air-conditioned rooms complete with a handy kitchenette and a private balcony or courtyard. Set amongst leafy tropical gardens, guests can enjoy the outdoor facilities, including a refreshing swimming pool and a shaded barbecue area that is often visited by kookaburras and other island wildlife.

Keen to explore Magnetic Island? The on-site tour desk is happy to help with bookings or local advice on a range of tours and activities, including jet skiing and sailing adventures. Tropical Palms also offers 4WD hire, with plenty of free parking available.

For those using the hop-on on hop-off bus, the nearest stop is just a one-minute walk away beside the heritage-listed Picnic Bay Jetty. Stroll the esplanade in the opposite direction, and you will reach local favourites such as Maggie Island Brewery, Lava Lava, and Restaurant Elsie. Continue along, and you will find a scenic grassy foreshore that is popular for picnics and weddings, and at low tide, keep an eye out for the historic PJ Rennie shipwreck just offshore.
