Mindil Beach Casino Resort

Hotel
(5 stars)

Like so many Aussie cities, Darwin has great beaches. This resort places guests right beside a stretch of golden sand. But if you’d rather take a dip within the confines of the hotel, you can enjoy the infinity pool, which provides an adults-only beach-club experience complete with bar and beats (DJs play at the weekend). There are walking and jogging tracks through the area, three restaurants, four bars, a spa and Mindil’s main event; the casino. This is open from 10 am to 4 am with pokies and ritzy table games. All of the resort’s bedrooms come with a private balcony or patio, minibars and some with direct lagoon pool access.
