Lose yourself in the turquoise hues of Hamilton Island this summer at qualia. The five-star private resort sits on the northern tip of the island, with sweeping views across the Coral Sea and The Whitsundays.
You won't find any cramped rooms here. The most basic room is the expansive Leeward Pavillion, which boasts a king bed, lounge area, bathtub and terrace overlooking the water and bushland. One step up is the Windward Pavillion, with a private infinity pool, sundeck and outdoor shower.
The Sunset Pavillion is situated next to the private helipad and is ideal for longer stays, as it includes living and dining areas, a study, a full kitchen and laundry. For the ultimate experience, go for the secluded Beach House, which has panoramic sea views, a 12-metre plunge pool, a 10-seater dining table and even a separate guesthouse.
The common areas around the resort are equally impressive. The tranquil Long Pavillion features a modern Australian restaurant, lounge bar and library. Head to the waterfront Pebble Beach to take a dip in the infinity pool, sip on a cocktail in a private cabana or lift weights in the hotel gym.
Pebble Beach is also home to qualia's signature restaurant, offering relaxed fare for lunch and a fine-dining degustation menu for dinner.
If your days poolside aren't quite relaxing enough, you can book in at the spa. There's a treatment for everyone, from warm stone massages to guided meditation, pregnancy-safe therapies and even a bath suite for two.
And there's no shortage of activities for those wanting to venture out of the resort. Cruise The Whitsundays on a private motor yacht, embark on a helicopter flight to Heart Reef, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, play a round at Hamilton Island Golf Club or cuddle up to local critters at Hamilton Island Wildlife.
