Rainbow Beach Resorts


There has been an increasing demand  for us to do a review of the top Rainbow Beach Resorts. While Australia and Queensland in general experienced increased demand over COVID, this effect has made Rainbow Beach even more popular. Part of the attraction it seems is with getting away from it all. Considering that Rainbow beach is only 240 km from the Capital Brisbane, it seems worlds away. If you are visiting for the first time, it might even take you by surprise to realise how undeveloped it is. Alternatively if you haven't visited for a while it may take you by surprise at the relative proliferation of new resorts and places to stay. 

Visitors alike remain enthralled by the multicoloured sand cliffs.

RAINBOW BEACH ACCOMMODATION

The Plantation Resort at Rainbow Beach occupies a key location and position in the Rainbow Beach resorts landscape. You are situated right by the beach access and the small shopping area where the few restaurants are.  The resort rooms comprise from one bedroom to three bedroom self-contained options. Some of these larger 'penthouses' have rooftop terraces!

Check out his video of this key Rainbow beach resort which features Foxtel, BBQ's and safety deposit boxes. There is a lift which makes checking in and out nice and easy from the secured car park.

Many guests stay at Rainbow beach as a departure point for a Fraser Island vacation  and this is ideal place to stopover on your way to that  World Heritage site. 

The friendly staff are on hand to book you in for any of the nearby activities and tours.

Rainbow Sea Resort

This Rainbow Beach Resort features cut-above style with sweeping views over the stunning coastline. While not in the 'downtown area' this is more than compensated for with the spectacular hillside vistas. And if you do want to go down to the  cafés, restaurants and beach you don't need to walk far.

Rainbow Beach is not any longer the quiet fishing town it once was, but as an emerging 'eco-tourism' destination which is becoming trendy and upscale it retains much of its charm. The regular barge to the south side of Fraser island means it is certain to continue to get exposure and grow. Aboriginal population continue to talk of the spirit in the shape of  a rainbow formed in the fight for a beautiful woman, and what happened when this battle spilled onto the sandy cliffs.
