Dolphin Experience & Wildlife
RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort is the only accommodation option in Monkey Mia directly next to the dolphin viewing area. The award-winning park has recorded reliable dolphin visitations for over 40 years, with on-site research collaboration providing insights into dolphin behavior.

The resort offers diverse accommodation ranging from beach view rooms to villas, dormitories, and powered caravan sites, all located steps from the beach. Beach view rooms provide direct sightlines to Shark Bay, while superior beach view rooms include a small kitchen and outdoor shower. The property also has a caravan park with ensuite powered sites and a budget room with shared bathroom.
On-Site Dining & Bars
Two food and beverage outlets serve guests: The Boughshed Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu catering to vegetarian and gluten-free preferences. The Monkey Bar opens at 4pm and serves drinks, snacks, and pizzas with views over Shark Bay. Both venues have happy hours at different times, allowing guests to enjoy sundowner drinks.
Activities & Recreation
Guests can hire kayaks and canoes from the beach shack to paddle along the coastline into Francois Peron National Park. The resort has two outdoor swimming pools, one heated with a pool cover and pool with view, plus a hot tub. Additional recreational facilities include a mini-golf course, tennis court, children's playground, and a games room.
