Our Story

Hamilton Island is perfectly located in the heart of the Whitsundays and at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can experience everything that is good about Australia – beautiful natural surrounds, calm waters, warm weather, fascinating coral reefs and diverse flora and fauna.

On Hamilton Island you’ll find a wide range of accommodation, from island-style bungalows to spacious hotel rooms with breathtaking views or the ultimate indulgence of qualia. If self-catering is more your style, choose from hotel-style holiday apartments or a private holiday home.

There are also over 60 different activities available; snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, discover 20km of bushwalking trails, visit Whitehaven Beach, take a scenic flight, or speed through the water on a jet ski tour.

And when it comes to food and wine, choose from almost as many restaurants as you would expect to find on the mainland. From gourmet pizzas by the marina to fine dining at Bommie in the iconic Hamilton Island Yacht Club, Hamilton Island has it all, including a range of takeaway outlets and bars for something more casual.
