On the Rise: New Horizons for the Capricorn Coast

Great Keppel Island Hideaway

A wave of fresh experiences for every kind of traveller

The Capricorn Coast is gearing up for a transformative year, with an exciting mix of new tourism offerings set to roll out across the region. From luxurious stays to eco-conscious escapes and inclusive marine adventures, these new developments promise to elevate the visitor experience while celebrating the natural beauty and community spirit of Central Queensland.

As part of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, the Capricorn Coast has long been a favourite for nature lovers, sun-seekers, and adventurers. Now, with a range of innovative additions on the horizon, there's even more reason to put this coastal gem on your 2025 travel list.

Great Keppel Island Hideaway: Glamping with a greener footprint

Set to open in late 2025, Great Keppel Island Hideaway is introducing an eco-luxury experience with its new eco tents. Blending sustainability with style, the glamping tents will offer guests a comfortable and low-impact way to enjoy one of Queensland’s most beloved island destinations. Surrounded by turquoise waters and untouched beaches, this new accommodation invites guests to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with nature — without compromising on comfort.

Keppel Dive: Opening the ocean to all

Scheduled for launch in mid-2025, Keppel Dive’s custom-built accessible vessel is a game changer for inclusive tourism in the region. Designed to accommodate a wider range of abilities, the vessel will allow more visitors to experience the colourful underwater world of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. Whether it’s a first dive or a seasoned snorkelling adventure, this initiative ensures that the ocean is truly open to everyone.

La Sini: Boutique luxury in central Yeppoon

Opening its doors in June 2025, Villa La Sini is a welcome addition to Yeppoon’s accommodation scene. Located on Queen Street, just moments from the town’s vibrant centre and beachside promenade, this stylish retreat combines modern amenities with relaxed coastal charm. With a strong focus on comfort and convenience, Villa La Sini is perfect for couples, small groups, or business travellers looking for a premium base from which to explore the region.

A bright future for the Capricorn Coast

Mary Carroll, CEO of Capricorn Enterprise, sees these developments as part of a broader momentum building across the region.

“It's absolutely wonderful to see such a variety of new experiences and product coming to life across the Capricorn Coast region,” she said. “These offerings not only enhance the appeal of our region for visitors but also inject vitality and economic opportunity into our local communities.”

With new horizons appearing across land and sea, the Capricorn Coast is quickly becoming one of Australia’s most exciting emerging destinations. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a romantic getaway, or a solo adventure, 2025 is shaping up to be the perfect time to discover what’s new in this coastal paradise.
