hotel description
In the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, so close to the coast you can smell the salty spray, qualia is a world-class luxury hotel in an island paradise setting. Set on the northern tip of Hamilton island, in the southern Whitsundays, you won’t just get a room here, you’ll get a whole pavilion.

In the two restaurants, chose to dine on the freshest of ingredients dressed in your best, or nibble on a hearty snack in something more casual. And if you want to branch out, just hop on your personal golf buggy. That’s right, your very own buggy to discover the island’s incredible views and wildlife.
location
Nestled on the shores of the Whitsundays, your surroundings here will look like they’ve popped out of a postcard. We’re talking crystal clear waters, white sugar sand beaches, and of course the most famous coral reef in the world.

your room
Your north-facing Windward Pavillion has huge windows so that you can really take in the expansive views of the Coral Sea and Whitsundays. Sink into a sofa in your living room, or soak in your private plunge pool overlooking the breathtaking views. Total perfection.
why we love it
A soft ocean breeze, clear warm waters and your room not enough to get you relaxed? We can’t imagine that’s true, but panic not: there’s more. How about some open air yoga, a meditation session, or an indulgent body wrap experience at a traditional Li’Tiya spa? Any tiny knot or worry you had before will dissolve, trust us, these guys are experts.
why others like it
The hotel has been showered with praise left and right, from Australian Gourmet Traveller’s ‘Best New Accommodation’ to making the cover of Conde Nast Traveller as one of their ‘Hottest New Hotels in the World’ (the only Australian hotel to be included no less). The magazines love it, we love it, we promise you’ll love it.
