"Set on a private peninsula of Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, this secluded oceanside retreat offers minimalist, free-flowing pavilions (many with private plunge pools) and direct access to snorkeling and diving on the Great Barrier Reef. The 60 sleek pavilions blur indoor and outdoor living with uninterrupted reef views, and dining centers on modern Australian seafood at Pebble Beach, making days of marine exploration and evenings of refined local cuisine the centerpiece of a restful, reef-focused escape." - Jennifer Flowers, Krisanne Fordham, Laura Dannen Redman
"Made for guests ages 16 and up, Qualia sits at the northernmost tip of Hamilton Island to offer a private retreat surrounded by Australia's magnificent Great Barrier Reef. The hotel has 60 guest pavilions that overlook the water and sit surrounded by lush vegetation, offering mesmerizing views of the Whitsunday Islands." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Qualia Islands trace theGreat Barrier Reefup the northeastern coast ofAustralia, clustering in the clear blue waters known as the Whitsundays. There, nestled on Hamilton Island, Qualia has set a new standard for Australian tourism—and resorts worldwide. What is magical about Qualia, however, is not just the champagne on arrival, or the fact that some rooms have their own plunge pools. The winning feature here is how perfectly the resort fits into the natural beauty of the island, almost disappearing into the eucalyptus trees of the surrounding rain forest. Understated and sophisticated, Qualia fosters a sensitive connection to the environment, allowing guests to experience Australia without all the usual tourist fanfare. Rooms look through natural bushland out to the water and surrounding islands, where dolphins are frequently spotted. They also come with their own electric golf carts, which guests can use to tour the entire island. In the epic Long Pavilion, floor-to-ceiling windows on the seaward side open to an infinity pool, while glass windows at the other end offer views of the resort’s bright tropical landscaping."
