WE’RE GOING TO LET YOU IN ON ONE OF THE TERRITORY’S BEST-KEPT SECRETS.
A secluded island surrounded by turquoise Arafura waters, teeming with aquatic life. A sanctuary for a myriad of sea birds, false killer whales, green, olive Ridley, flatback and hawksbill turtles. An unspoilt haven with pristine white powdery sand that squeaks beneath your bare feet. A slice of East Arnhem Land paradise that the small group of 20 Yolngu owners are only too proud to share with you.
Sleep under the million-star sky while slumming it in your five-star, ensuite glamping tent two steps from the sea. Toast the sunrises and sunsets from your private balcony or the pool, lounge and bar sundowner deck overlooking the western bay. Tantalise your tastebuds with award-winning dishes prepared daily utilising the freshest island produce and bountiful seafood on your doorstep.
Catch Spanish mackerel, tuna, trevally, queenfish, red emperor, jewfish and coral trout. Swim, kayak or snorkel around the translucent saltwater. Stretch your legs amongst nature along the 1.3 and 2.5km walking trails. Learn about early Macassan and Yolgnu history. The choice is yours. Nothing is rushed or forced here.
Welcome to Banubanu Beach Retreat — a dream resort on the northern tip of Bremer Island (Dhambaliya in Yolgnu), 15-minutes flight or three-hour boat ride north of Gove.
