Qualia, The 'Hideaway' Resort In The Great Barrier Reef

Even though it was just a short visit, the girls were very impressed by Qualia. It’s a well established resort with a wonderful location right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Situated on the northern tip of Hamilton Island, overlooking the Whitsunday Passage, you're perfectly placed for enjoying boat trips, water sports, snorkelling and diving, as well as big-game fishing. Qualia even has its own heli-pad
− perfect for taking off with a delicious picnic lunch for a private, scenic helicopter tour to Heart Reef and Whitehaven Beach. Exclusively for guests over 16 years old, it’s an excellent resort for romantics − especially honeymooners. In fact, it’s known for its privacy, as well as its superb service and fantastic cuisine, which Julie says is exactly why it’s a very popular place to stay in this stunning part of the world. Guest accommodation comes in the form of delightful pavilions and a beach house, each with private outdoor space (including pools in some) and most have an incredible, uninterrupted ocean view. For an extra special sense of luxury, all rooms come with a bottle of Champagne on arrival and include breakfast at either the Long Pavilion or Pebble Beach restaurant, soft drinks in the mini-bar, a two-seat golf buggy to help you get around and use of non-motorised watercraft. Around this superb ‘hideaway’ resort you’ll find a lovely main swimming pool and a superb bar, whiel guests also benefit from being able to dine and shop at most outlets on the island, then simply charge the bills back to their room. With this level of seamless service throughout, it’s no wonder that this little gem in the Pacific Ocean is so sought after.
