BANUBANU BEACH RETREAT - EXCLUSIVE USE
Banubanu Beach Retreat is located 13 kilometres north of the town of
Nhulunbuy, which is at the north-eastern corner of Arnhem Land in the
Northern Territory. Banubanu offers untouched beaches where the visitor
will be one of, at most, a small group of people providing all the sought-
after features of other Pacific Island destinations in Australia’s own backyard.
It is considered “exclusive” with travellers having unshared access to
explore such a pristine area away from the crowds. Its remote beaches are
a drawcard for the destination. Banubanu is the ideal holiday destination
for nature lovers, fishing enthusiasts and people seeking an unforgettable
holiday experience.
