Discovery Resorts – Rottnest Island is a premium eco-resort nestled behind the sand dunes of Pinky Beach on the picturesque Rottnest Island, just 19 kilometres off the coast of Perth, Western Australia.

This unique accommodation experience blends sustainable luxury with direct access to the island’s pristine natural beauty, making it a standout choice for travellers looking for comfort, adventure, and an environmentally conscious stay.

About the Resort

Opened in 2019, Discovery Resorts – Rottnest Island was the first low-impact glamping experience to open on the island. The resort features 83 eco-friendly safari-style tents, each thoughtfully designed to offer modern comforts while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding environment. Accommodation options range from Deluxe Dune Tents with en-suite bathrooms and private decks, to the luxurious Superior Family Tents that cater to larger groups or those seeking extra space and amenities. Many tents boast ocean views and are positioned just steps from the sand, allowing guests to immerse themselves in Rottnest’s idyllic coastal landscape.

The resort’s design is centred around sustainability. Solar power, environmentally friendly materials, minimal footprint construction, and water-saving initiatives are all part of the resort’s commitment to preserving the island’s delicate ecosystem. This eco-conscious approach enhances the appeal for travellers seeking responsible tourism options in Australia.
