Hotels & Resort Accommodation in Broome

Broome is a remote town in Western Australia that’ll make you feel you’re in the middle of nowhere, but not quite, you’ll be right between the Outback and the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Bit of a contrast, really. It’s best known for its iconic Cable Beach, with sunsets that somehow seem unreal.

Back in the 1880s, Broome was a thriving pearling port that attracted people from all over the globe, including Indonesia, China, Japan and Europe. That mix of cultures shaped the town, blending Indigenous heritage with a multicultural, laid-back lifestyle that gives Broome its own personality.

Thanks to its location, Broome cops a proper tropical climate with just two seasons: dry and wet. From May to October (dry season), you’ll have sunny days, blue skies and far less humidity, so basically the ideal weather for a long beach day. Then from November to April (wet season), the days come with more heat and some storms so yep, it can get a bit steamy at times. But it’s also when the land starts looking at its best and the skies put on a proper show.

Either way, anytime Broome will be worth the visit. You’ll love it here!

Let’s start with Cable Beach. You kinda have to go if you’re here. It stretches for more than 22 km along the coast, with white sand, calm waters and those famous sunset camel rides. Yep, they’re as Broome it gets.

Not too far from there, you’ve got Gantheaume Point with its red cliffs. And don't forget to look out for the dinosaur footprints in the area... Bit mad to just stumble across that on a beach walk, tbh. Then you can visit Roebuck Bay, one of the most important wetlands for migratory shorebirds in the country, where enormous tidal changes can completely reshape the land throughout the day (FYI, the tides here are no joke).

If you’re around between March and October, the Staircase to the Moon is a local favourite, when the rising full moon reflects across the mudflats, creating an illusion that looks like a staircase reaching into the sky. It’s unreal.

For a slow afternoon, Chinatown brings together Broome’s pearling history, cafés, art galleries and local shops. And the best part? Staying at Oaks hotels and resorts in Broome means you’re never too far from any of it.

In Broome, things can flip pretty quickly. One minute you’re visiting the Thursday Night Markets at Town Beach and enjoying live music and grabbing some food from food stalls, and the next you’re watching a movie at Sun Pictures, which, also, happens to be the world’s oldest operating outdoor cinema (something we always brag about here).

Want to keep the kids entertained? Town Beach waterpark usually goes pretty well after a day around Cable Beach. And speaking of Cable Beach, there’s plenty happening around there, from camel rides and water sports to some seriously good sunsets.

If you’re keen to dive deeper into the region, you can join a First Nations tour or visit the Willie Creek Pearl Farm for a glimpse of the pearling history in town. And when it comes about where to stay for beach accommodation in Broome, Oaks Hotels make things pretty easy for you.

As a coastal town, Broome is naturally good for bringing to the table fresh seafood, especially barramundi, mud crab and tiger prawns.

Its multicultural roots also shaped the local food scene, with a great mix of Asian, Indigenous and modern Aussie dishes. One day you can be grabbing fish and chips near the beach and the other trying tropical fruit smoothies or a long lunch by the water.

But if you really wanna try the local flavours, there’s nothing like visiting the markets. like Broome Courthouse Markets to find fresh produce and some handmade treats.And if you feel thirsty, Matso's Broome Brewery is waiting with its iconic brews (pssst… Don’t miss the mango beer).

Even though Broome is a laidback town, it has a surprisingly busy event calendar. One of the biggest local favourites is Shinju Matsuri or the Festival of the Pearl, which celebrates Broome’s multicultural pearling history with food events, performances, art and community gatherings across town.

The Staircase to the Moon markets during the dry season blend local food, good music and crafts alongside the light phenomenon itself. There’s also plenty happening around the arts and music scene during the year, especially in the dry season months when the town really comes alive. Yep, Broome knows how to keep things interesting once the sun goes down.

With our hotels and resorts in Broome, it’s easy to enjoy the events and come back to a comfy bed.
