1. Central Broome – where to stay for the first time
Known for its pearl history and incredible natural landscapes, Broome is a magical town where you’ll find pristine beaches and many attractions!
Central Broome (the town center) is the perfect spot for first-time visitors! You’ll find everything you need for your holiday, including some amazing hotels that I highly recommend booking in advance. This small town is super famous, and many tourists come here from all over the world.
The town’s popularity goes way back, it isn’t something that just happened recently. That’s because, since the 1800s, pearl divers from Japan, Malaysia, and the Philippines came to discover the pearls of the South Sea.
Thanks to that, the town has become super multicultural! There’s even a fun China town in Central Broom that you should check out while you’re here, and of course, many boutique shops that sell gorgeous pearls!
Although I’m sure, many of you would rather explore Central Broome’s natural beauty and admire those unique Indian Ocean views. Town Beach and Bedford Park are the right spots for that! And if you need more tips on the best attractions, we have a whole post on things to do in Broome!
Enjoy your tropical escape in this boutique hotel that’s set in a 1900 house! Each room has a unique design and some feature a patio that overlooks the lush gardens! Gotta love the natural set-up. Head to the terrace for a fresh-cooked meal and for a dip in the swimming pool.

If you want to spend as much by the beach as possible, I recommend booking your hotel in Cable Beach!
Cable Beach is pretty big, and it is actually a suburb of Broome, but it’s set right near the city. Its beach (which has the same name) is edged by the blue waters of the Indian Ocean, and it features beautiful white sand, lots of restaurants, and even a casino!
But it’s the ochre red cliffs that stole my heart! I’ve got to say that this place’s natural beauty will blow your mind! And if you’re looking for more places to stay in Western Australia, we’ve got a whole post on this!
