Take a seat on a cabana under an umbrella to beat the heat of the day, then dive into the refreshing waters when you need to cool off. There\u2019s also a heated indoor lap pool and three heated spas, so a change in weather doesn\u2019t mean you have to dry off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-outdoor-pool-at-dusk-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Outdoor pool illuminated at dusk at Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay, NSW\" class=\"wp-image-72241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-outdoor-pool-at-dusk-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-outdoor-pool-at-dusk-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-outdoor-pool-at-dusk-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-outdoor-pool-at-dusk.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Sirene Spa and the indoor pool are worth setting time aside for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/best-regional-escapes-in-nsw\/\">Back at the resort<\/a>, Sirene Spa offers facials, massage and beauty treatments, leaving room to set aside an hour or two for yourself between beach time and dinner. Its menu includes options such as a Rose Quartz Spa Facial and hot-stone massage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-indoor-pool-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Tiled indoor pool at Ramada Resort by Wyndham Shoal Bay, NSW\" class=\"wp-image-72243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-indoor-pool-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-indoor-pool-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-indoor-pool-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ramada-resort-shoal-bay-indoor-pool.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who says you need to leave the resort to spend a day in the water? Alongside the spa is the indoor pool and heated spas take every treatment to another level: swim some laps, then soak the day away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Find a new angle on the bay, on foot or by bike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tomaree Head Summit Walk starts nearby in the Tomaree National Park. The 2.2-kilometre return track is steep and graded as challenging, but the lookout rewards the climb with views across Port Stephens, offshore islands and the coastline. Allow around 90 minutes to two hours and bring water and sturdy shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a gentler outing, Fort Tomaree\u2019s paved path passes Second World War gun emplacements on the lower slopes. Or hire a bicycle in nearby Nelson Bay and explore the foreshore at a more leisurely pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover New South Wales<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Discover New South Wales\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000gblB3YAI\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_463715fed3700f60f43f5da1af0b4ba5\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/mantra-ettalong-beach-new-south-wales-australia\/006RF00000gblB3YAI\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus\" data-name=\"Mantra Ettalong Beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/bcd022uwwsie29dgxinc.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/bcd022uwwsie29dgxinc.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/bcd022uwwsie29dgxinc.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/bcd022uwwsie29dgxinc.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/bcd022uwwsie29dgxinc.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/bcd022uwwsie29dgxinc.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Mantra Ettalong Beach, Ettalong Beach, New South Wales\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><span class=\"new\">New<\/span><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>Ettalong Beach, New South Wales<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Mantra Ettalong Beach<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">Central Coast Waterfront Bliss: One- &#038;
