The best surf hotels · Margaret River
Smiths Beach Resort
Smiths Beach Resort was constructed on one commitment: minimal footprint on a beach that didn't need a hotel. The property sits above Smiths Beach — a consistent beach break and the starting point of the Cape to Cape walking track — with a design philosophy that runs to the site survey, the engineering, the materials, and the operations. A Small Luxury Hotel of the World. The apartments, villas, beach shacks and beach houses were designed to cause the least possible impact on the coastal dune system. The beach in front of the property is one of the best learner and intermediate surf breaks in the Margaret River region — clean, consistent, sheltered from the dominant southwesterly. Yallingup Point is around the headland for the more experienced surfers. The resort has been operating on its sustainability commitment since before it was fashionable.

Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Built to cause minimal impact on the coastal dune system.
The construction methodology, materials, and operations were calibrated against the impact on the coastal dune ecosystem. Water management, native vegetation, low-energy design throughout. The commitment predates the certification by years.

The surf
Smiths Beach is where the Cape to Cape Track begins. The resort sits directly above it.
A consistent beach break that works in most conditions — less exposed than the main Margaret River breaks, reliable and uncrowded. Yallingup Point, Three Bears, and Injidup Point are within a ten-minute drive.
