Perth's resorts sit mostly on the northern beaches and inland lakes rather than in the CBD. You get self-catering apartments by the water, a golf-and-spa retreat in Joondalup, and a family-friendly lakeview property at Karrinyup — all within a short drive of the city, but a world away from its high-rise hotels.
Money here buys space and leisure: from a 3-star self-catering base near Scarborough Beach to a 5-star beachfront address with spa baths. The most expensive starts at A$206 a night; the most budget-friendly at A$134. Note that the page also includes other accommodation types beyond these hotels.
Perth's four resorts suit travellers who want a self-contained base near the water or the fairways, rather than a city-centre stay. If you need parking on site, a family-friendly atmosphere with kids' facilities, or a 4-star property with more standard hotel services, check the pages for hotels with parking in Perth, family-friendly hotels, and the 4-star hotel selection instead.
