Dugong Beach Resort

The low-impact eco resort is owned by the Aboriginal people of Groote Eylandt, some of whom are employed at the resort. The resort also operates a cultural centre displaying local arts and providing a venue for cultural performances, enhancing your unique indigenous experience. Groote Eylandt is a fantastic spot for fishing. The adjacent Escape Sport Fishing & Wilderness Lodge offers anglers the opportunity to experience the thrill of catching many different fish species, such as barramundi, black marlin, tuna, queen fish, sailfish, trevally, barracuda, mackerel, and billfish with many other reef species also in abundance. The Traditional Owners and country men and women of Groote Eylandt Archipelago wish to grow in community spirit by developing an infrastructure for other cultures of the world to see by visiting, learning and sharing their experiences on this idyllic beautiful island paradise. Although there has never been tourism on Groote Eylandt the Anindilyakwa speaking people are keen to show off their way of life, art and history. The development of Dugong Beach Resort, through GEBIE (Groote Eylandt Bickerton Island Enterprises), with the assistance of the Anindilyakwa Land Council is helping to make our dream a reality. Training is on-going as Cultural Tours are developed with the help of Tourism NT and other organizations that will enhance guests visit to the island and make it a pleasant stay.
