Destination
Tucked away in an exclusive precinct on Hamilton Island’s northern-most tip, qualia’s 60 private pavilions look onto the Coral Sea and the surrounding Whitsunday Islands.
Hamilton Island is fringed by coral in the World Heritage-listed magnificence of the Great Barrier Reef. One of the Whitsunday group of 74 islands, Hamilton Island is located a little south of neighbouring Whitsunday Island and the brilliant white sands of renowned Whitehaven Beach. Despite being surrounded by water, there’s no real beach, yet it’s only five minutes by buggy to Hamilton’s main sandy beach, marina and numerous bars and restaurants.
