Book one of the new villas or lash out rock star style and hire the entire island for you (and up to 25 of your closest family and friends) and enjoy free kayaking, SUPing or snorkeling in the crystal clear waters.

| The Ville |
You get a whole lot of nip and tuck for $35million, which is what The Ville in Townsville (formerly Jupiters Casino) revealed when it opened the doors to the last of its refurbished rooms this month. The Ville's hotel footprint is large, with 194 hotel rooms, three restaurants, four bars and 11 conference and events facilities; it's the kind of resort you check into and have no real need to leave. More than just a name change, all rooms have been completely upgraded, and given the Hollywood makeover treatment with interior design and finishings that give a nod to its tropical location. Set a stone's throw away from Magnetic Island, the Breakwater Marina and The Strand, the Ville Townsville is the perfect gateway to discover Townsville North Queensland.
