Inspired by Funnel Bay’s tropical forests and stunning ocean views, Kevin and Dolores Beasley created the luxury boutique resort Yangaro. They embarked on the dream of creating a tropical haven to share with family, friends, and guests worldwide. The family aspired to share the beauty of their little-known paradise in the Whitsundays and create a luxurious, welcoming, and relaxing space. With their efforts of working side by side with architect Chris Beckingham, the Bradleys imagined and built their stunning first house, the Emerald House. They have since continued to evolve and facilitate a vision of luxury tropical experiences in their own oasis.
About Yangaro Weddings
Just ten minutes from the picturesque Airlie Beach, Yangaro is located in Funnel Bay at the centre of the Whitsundays. The resort is home to eight spacious, private, and architecturally designed luxury villas. Each piece of paradise is set amongst the beautiful gardens, mountains, and serene waters of Funnel Bay. The Sapphire Villa has three bedrooms and a private pool and sleeps six people. The Turquoise Villa features a private infinity pool, has three bedrooms, and sleeps eight.
The Azure and Indigo Villas sleep six guests across three bedrooms. The Celeste Villa has three bedrooms and a private pool, while the Aqua Villa sleeps eight people across four bedrooms. Finally, the Topaz Villa sleeps 16 guests across eight suites and has its own private jacuzzi. A new villa that sleeps 12 will arrive in January 2023. According to the owners, it will be “the jewel of the Yangaro crown.” In these villas, Yangaro’s guests can relax, unwind, reconnect with nature at their leisure, and bond with their families. The community structure of the houses allows large groups of people to connect and experience a world different than their own.
Around the Resort
The name mirrors the vibrant philosophy of the resort: Yang, meaning the passion and brightness of the yin yang, and Ngaro, honouring the indigenous people of the land. The resort seeks to create memorable, unique experiences for every guest. But, most importantly, prides itself on connecting families, friends, and colleagues to the beautiful paradise of Funnel Bay. The surrounding areas are waiting to be explored: the Littoral Rainforest sits parallel to the resort, and the marine wetlands run slightly South. You will also find the legendary Great Barrier Reef, National Parks, and several waterfalls that will create a paradise you will never forget. If you’re looking for an overlook, several bushwalking trails and scenic areas are accessible by foot, including the Honeyeater Walk, the Whitsunday Cairn Trail, and Hydeaway Bay nearby.
