Luxury for everyone: Hamilton Island

Situated in the middle of Queensland’s Whitsunday Islands and on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island has a wide range of accommodation from freestanding Palm Bungalows to the Reef View Hotel. The luxury end is well and truly covered by Qualia but for clients with a more modest budget, the self-catering option is available at Whitsunday Apartments.

 
Nature features heavily in the appeals of this destination with 70 per cent of the island preserved for bush walking and nature trails. Activities on offer include snorkeling on the reef, sea kayaking and scenic helicopter trips.
 
There are many food and wine options from gourmet pizzas to long lunches at Sails restaurant plus a casual selection of takeaways.
 
For the conference market, Hamilton Island offers 13 specialist rooms capable of hosting up to 1000 delegates. Weddings can be organised without fuss at the local wedding chapel with the help of local suppliers.
 
The recently opened golf club on Dent Island was designed by five times British Open winner Peter Thomson. The 18-hole championship course is on par with Australia’s top golfing destinations for its design, views, location and facilities.
 
Meantime, the Hamilton Island Yacht Club is an exclusive port of call for visitors docking in the Hamilton Island Marina. The state-of-the-art facility features recreational and business facilities including a contemporary restaurant, a private dining room and function rooms overlooking Dent Passage.
 
Virgin Australia (VA) has some good news for discerning clientele heading to the island; the airline now offers business class from Brisbane and Sydney.
 
Hamilton Island CEO Glenn Bourke said the new service complements recent investment in luxury tourism and will be well received by guests staying at Qualia and the Hamilton Island Yacht Club Villas.
