Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort

A statement property on the stunning Sunrise Beach, Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort invites guests into a world where refined contemporary opulence meets breathtaking natural beauty. As you arrive, the lobby welcomes you with earthy tones and inviting water features, perfectly embodying the tranquil essence of its surroundings. The expansive bi-fold glass doors allow for a seamless transition into the sunlit bar and restaurant area, accentuated by plush cane chairs and artistic installations that draw inspiration from the rich coastal landscape. Here, every detail conveys sophistication; the inviting lounge sets the tone for relaxation, or perhaps a spirited dance to the beats of talented local artists during special events like Gascoyne In May. Each moment spent here is enriched by the alluring vistas of the azure Exmouth Gulf, shimmering just beyond the resort's lavish pool, where tranquility reigns supreme.

Explore the Local Area

Set at the gateway to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef and Marine Park, Mantarays is perfectly positioned for adventurers and leisure seekers alike. Just a stone's throw away, guests can explore Cape Range National Park's rugged beauty and pristine underwater environments teeming with vibrant marine life. Exmouth itself, a charming fishing village, enchants with its laid-back atmosphere, exceptional dining options, and perfect weather year-round. Attractions such as the Ningaloo Aquarium & Discovery Centre (2.5 km), Marina Quays Exmouth (0.5 km), and the picturesque Learmonth Jetty (3.5 km) are easily accessible, and a daily local shuttle provides seamless transport to these highlights. For those flying in, Learmonth Airport is a mere 30-minute drive, ensuring your journey begins as effortlessly as your stay.

Room Information

Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort comprises 60 luxurious rooms and suites, each carefully designed to provide ultimate comfort. The 1-bedroom apartments boast generous square footage, with expansive layouts reflecting natural hues and offering stunning views of the marina or the shimmering ocean. Every room embraces a fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining areas, with amenities like air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, and private balconies that beckon you to relax and absorb the coastal charm.

Room Upgrades

Upgrade options include stylish 2-bedroom bungalows, averaging 1,300 sq ft, featuring outdoor spa baths for the perfect end to a beach day; or indulge in the sumptuous penthouse with panoramic views and expansive living areas, designed for exclusive experiences. Each upgraded suite includes luxurious amenities such as high-end stainless steel appliances, plush king-size beds, and expansive terraces ideal for al fresco dining, accommodating up to 6 guests comfortably.

“This beachfront resort strikes me as a solid choice for families seeking adventure, particularly given its direct access to Ningaloo Reef. I especially note the award-winning restaurant, although some dining experiences seem inconsistent, and the spacious apartments with balconies. Its prime location near Cape Range National Park further enriches its appeal, making it ideal for those eager to explore the natural surroundings.”
