Hamilton Island, Australia, Australasia and South Pacific
Nestled into the northernmost tip of Hamilton Island, you'll find Qualia, a luxurious hotel that is designed to blend seamlessly into the lush landscape. Each elegant pavilion is built to show off the endless views over the Coral Sea, with plunge pools, spacious bedrooms and enormous windows to really let that scenery in. Service is paramount here; you'll be welcomed and pampered in all the right ways whilst maintaining the independence to explore at your own pace - you'll even be met with a golf buggy to discover the island at your leisure.
Spend your days snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, taking a helicopter flight over the iconic Heart Reef or sailing through the turquoise waters around Whitehaven Beach. If you'd rather kick back and relax, there's nowhere better than Qualia. Soak up the tranquillity of their outstanding spa or simply unwind on the beach with a good book. Whether you're tucking into breakfast as you watch the sun shimmer over the water, feasting on fresh fish with your toes in the sand or sipping wine under the stars, every meal celebrates Australia's top quality food and wine.
The ideal time to visit the Great Barrier Reef is during the dry season, between April and November. You'll find mild temperatures and minimal rainfall, with various events happening throughout the Australian Winter, including the Hamilton Island Race Week, a sailing event in August. From June to September you'll also have the opportunity to see whales as they migrate up the coast.
