Why it's worth checking out
Amarna Luxury Beach Resort is a guest-only accommodation complex on Dutchmans Beach in Nelson Bay, with direct access to the sand and water. The apartments sit close to the shoreline and are designed around the bay, with floor-to-ceiling windows and north-west-facing views extending across the water towards Myall Lakes National Park. It is also within walking distance of Nelson Bay’s CBD, while local cafés and waterfront restaurants are nearby for meals beyond the resort.
The accommodation is centred on spacious, self-contained apartments with executive-style comforts and complimentary daily housekeeping. Guests receive complimentary continental breakfast, free allocated parking and fast wi-fi, making the resort suited to a relaxed stay without needing to leave the property for every convenience. The beachside setting gives the resort a quiet, private feel, with the views and changing light across the bay forming much of the experience.
Water facilities are a major drawcard. Amarna has a 25-metre heated lap pool and a spa in the main pool area, with both heated throughout the year and positioned to look over the bay. Some apartments also include a private pool and spa. Guests travelling by boat can enquire about using one of the resort’s three commercial moorings just off Dutchmans Beach, which provides access to the water for leisure trips or fishing during a stay.
The resort suits couples looking for a beachside escape, including guests booking the listed honeymoon or babymoon packages, and travellers who prefer a contained apartment rather than a standard hotel room. Optional in-house massage and spa treatments are also mentioned by the resort, while the surrounding Port Stephens area offers walking tracks, beaches, kayaking, paddle boarding, diving, sailing and whale watching. For a slower visit, guests can simply settle into the apartment, swim, use the spa and enjoy the bay views from this quiet part of Nelson Bay.
