Australia’s Ultimate Luxury Wildlife Escape
Opening 28 May 2025, Monarto Safari Resort is set to become one of Australia’s most unique holiday destinations—a place where immersive safari adventure meets understated luxury, right here on our doorstep.
Located within the breathtaking Monarto Safari Park, the largest open-range safari experience outside of Africa, this new resort offers a rare opportunity to stay amongst the animals while enjoying the comforts of a world-class retreat. Just under an hour from Adelaide, it’s an easy escape into the wild without leaving South Australia.
Spanning nearly 18 hectares, Monarto Safari Resort includes a luxury hotel, lodge, and day spa, all designed with sustainability and style in mind. The hotel itself features 78 spacious rooms and suites set across three floors, many overlooking a wildlife watering hole frequented by animals from the adjacent park.
Guests will also have access to two swimming pools, a pool bar and café, restaurant and bar, and conference facilities—making this an ideal venue for everything from romantic getaways to executive retreats. For those seeking total relaxation, the onsite day spa promises to impress with its vitality pool, sauna, and cold plunge pool.
For a more immersive and intimate experience, the resort’s Safari Lodge offers 20 luxury tented suites with panoramic views of the surrounding plains. Complete with a dedicated lodge, gourmet dining, bar, and plunge pool, it’s a chance to experience the sights and sounds of the wild—without giving up the creature comforts.
Beyond the accommodation, guests will enjoy direct access to Monarto Safari Park’s Wild Africa precinct, where lions, giraffes, rhinos and other majestic species roam freely. Whether you’re relaxing on your balcony with a glass of wine or watching wildlife at sunrise, this is a place that invites connection—with nature, and with the moment.
