HOTEL OVERVIEW

Nestled along the pristine coastline of Adelaide, The Retreat West Beach Parks stands as a premier 4-star accommodation that perfectly balances luxury with the laid-back Australian coastal lifestyle. Situated on Military Road in West Beach, this exceptional resort village has earned an impressive 9.0 rating from satisfied guests, establishing it as one of the most sought-after destinations in South Australia. Just a short 15-minute drive from Adelaide’s vibrant city center, The Retreat offers the ideal blend of accessibility and tranquil seclusion, allowing guests to enjoy the best of both worlds – the energy of a cosmopolitan city and the serenity of beachfront living. The Retreat West Beach Parks creates an immediate impression with its thoughtfully designed architecture that harmonizes with the stunning natural surroundings. The resort village sprawls across beautifully landscaped grounds that lead directly to the golden sands of West Beach, one of Adelaide’s most beloved coastal treasures. Guests can wake to the soothing sounds of gentle waves and enjoy breathtaking sunset views over the Gulf St. Vincent. The property’s strategic location puts it within minutes of Adelaide Airport, making it extraordinarily convenient for interstate and international travelers, yet the resort’s clever design ensures a peaceful atmosphere unmarred by flight paths. Beyond the beach, guests will find themselves perfectly positioned to explore nearby attractions including the Adelaide Shores Golf Club, Mega Adventure aerial park, and the family-friendly Glenelg Beach precinct just a short drive away. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the West Beach Conservation Park, where native flora and fauna create a stunning backdrop for morning walks or evening strolls. With its exceptional 9.0 rating, The Retreat West Beach Parks has established itself as a destination where service excellence meets coastal charm. The accommodations range from stylish self-contained villas to spacious family cabins, each appointed with modern amenities and tasteful decor that reflects the coastal setting. The resort village boasts extensive recreational facilities including swimming pools, tennis courts, and barbecue areas that encourage guests to embrace the outdoor Australian lifestyle. For those seeking culinary adventures, the on-site dining options showcase fresh local seafood and South Australian wines, while the property’s proximity to West Beach’s emerging dining scene offers additional gastronomic delights. What truly sets The Retreat apart, however, is its commitment to creating memorable experiences – from arranging dolphin-watching excursions to facilitating beach yoga sessions at sunrise. The attentive staff, many of whom have been with the property for years, pride themselves on their knowledge of local attractions and their ability to personalize each guest’s stay. Whether visitors are seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a solo retreat to reconnect with nature, The Retreat West Beach Parks delivers an authentic Adelaide coastal experience that continues to earn it outstanding reviews and loyal guests who return season after season to this exceptional 4-star haven on Adelaide’s beautiful coastline.

Pool and waterlines were a hit. Not as big as next door so people weren't everywhere and was quieter. Cabins great - clean new and well appointed

What could be improved: Maybe some better communication from management on what is supplied or what to bring. Found it hard to work that out.

Such a brilliant spot for a family staycation! A luxury caravan park without the caravans. The apartment was amazing, super modern and comfy. Great air con, and kitchen facilities. Loved sitting out on the patio for dinner and then letting the kids run wild on the lawn area. The pool and slides were amazing - kids had a ball. They loved the jumping pillow too and the closeness of the beach. Highly recommend.
