Honeymoon at Hamilton Island


Perfectly situated in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, nestled among the 74 Whitsunday Islands, Hamilton Island offers an experience like no other.

Getting there is easy with direct flights from Sydney (2hrs), Melbourne (3hrs), Brisbane (1hr) and Cairns (1hr), or connecting flights from all other major Australian cities. By boat, you can take a quick 30 minute transfer to Hamilton Island from Shute Harbour.

In this quintessential aquatic wonderland, you can revel in the very best of everything that is great about Australia: glorious warm weather, azure waters, brilliant white beaches, awe-inspiring coral reefs, fascinating flora and fauna, 20km of bushwalking trails, fine food and wines, laid back luxury, unpretentious service, and activities almost too numerous to mention.   


Explore one of the wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef, home to some of the most amazing coral formations and marine life ever seen. Whether taking a scenic flight, cruising, diving, snorkelling or simply experiencing the wonder through an underwater viewing chamber, it is truly one of the most exhilarating and magical experiences on the planet.



You can also take a scenic flight to explore the 74 Whitsunday Islands from the air, or sail to famous Whitehaven Beach on a 60ft luxury yacht for a walk through the whitest sand in the world. Get up close and personal with a large collection of native animals including koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles, wombats and frill-necked lizards, then head off on a sunset sea kayaking tour and marvel at the spectacular skies. Or you could simply lounge by one of the many island pools or on beautiful Catseye Beach. 


Keep your appetite at bay with a range of restaurants to tempt your tastebuds. From fish and chips by the Marina, to a long lazy lunch at the Beach House, there’s variety in abundance on Hamilton Island. Experience a different cuisine every night if you wish, including Italian, Modern Australian, Asian, serious steaks, wood-fired pizza and, of course, the freshest of seafood. And it’s all fine enough to rival any big city restaurant.

On Hamilton Island, there’s a range of hotels to suit everyone from couples and honeymooners to families and groups of friends. Choose from 3 star island-style garden bungalows, extremely spacious 4 star hotel rooms with amazing views, luxurious and intimate 5 star beachfront rooms, or if you are after a little more independence, choose from a range of self-catering star holiday properties spread throughout the island.

Whether you’re looking for action, relaxation, romance or a fun family getaway, it’s all here, with new experiences and adventures waiting around every corner.
