Where the endless red of the Great Sandy Desert collides with the crystalline blue of the Indian Ocean, there runs a 23-kilometre arc of dazzling white. This is Cable Beach, at the edge of the Kimberley, and it is the setting for one of the world’s truly original creations.

Cable Beach Club is like nothing else. Its architecture is a wondrous mix of tropical Kimberley house and grand Chinese pavilion. Its 26 acres of gardens grow pandanus palms beside gum trees, water lilies beside frangipani. And, most remarkably, it is dotted, inside and out, with an astounding collection of artworks and antiquities that set an exotic, colonial tone to the entire resort.

The award-winning architecture takes the classic Broome lattice - so beloved in these parts for its ability to block the sun but not the breeze - and gives it a courageous coat of Chinese red, It adds a touch of the green from the hulls of Broome’s old pearling luggers, and finally some outback corrugated iron, given a twist of cream. The roof lines display just a hint of pagoda.

The warm air, always suffused with the many perfumes of the tropical gardens, also carries the earthy fragrance of the beeswax and frangipani rubbed on the rich timber walkways. It is a heady, romantic blend.

In the rooms, along the decks, and throughout the gardens, rare treasures await discovery. The bluestone Chinese lions, the Indian princess’s huge, copper-faced dowry chest, the teak display cabinet from the days of the Dutch East India Company, the replica terracotta warriors standing guard at the front door.

This can only be the Cable Beach Club.

Facilities:

The gardens have been rightly famous for their spectacle, but they deserve more acclaim for their therapeutic value. Strolling among the lush tropical foliage, babbling springs and lily-strewn ponds is something visitors never forget.

Two beautiful pools. The stunning blue Club Pool is perfect for families, with its two areas of different depths, its cheerful waterfall and its huge spa. Secluded at the other end of the resort, the adults-only salt-water pool is a peaceful and sensual oasis, the perfect spot for a quiet book and a cool cocktail. (Both pools have bar and cafe service.)

Four tennis courts with night-lighting.

Gymnasium offering a multi-use system, exercise bikes, rowing machines and free weights.
  

Dining:

The Club Restaurant - colonial opulence and first-class menu. Enjoy an atmosphere laden with history and romance.

Lord Mac’s serves magnificent buffets at breakfast and dinner, with plenty of local tropical produce. Enjoy lovely views of the grassed amphitheatre sweeping down to Cable Beach and the sunsets beyond.

The Sunset Bar is positioned to make the most of the Club’s location. Balmy evenings watching the sunset lightshow over Cable Beach, with an icy drink in your hand, cannot be adequately described in words.

Book a sunset cruise on a luxury catamaran, or a full-day flying tour of the Kimberley. Take a hovercraft to see some dinosaur footprints, or head for the open seas, on an unforgettable fishing trip. We’ll make all the arrangements for you, free of charge.
