This is the most stunning and world class resort in the Whitsundays. This was my third stay for a milestone event and the staff were so attentive and friendly and the food is as good as you’ll eat anywhere on the planet. Private , comfortable , but not pretentious . The perfect combination for me . I will return again and I highly recommend everyone should experience Qualia at least once in their lifetime. I miss it already. Thank you Qualia, you and your amazing staff and beautiful vistas are in my heart forever 🩷

I got a 60-minute full-body massage at Qualia Spa and it was the best massage of my life. Thank you for the attention to detail and for making me feel so good. I’ll definitely be back :)

What a wonderful resort Qualia is! My wife and I stayed 6 nights in a Leeward Pavilion that was extremely comfortable with great Whitsunday views and lacking in nothing. The welcome with Charles Heidsieck champagne was the start to a very relaxed holiday. Dining, be it the à la carte Breakfasts or Dinners, was absolute 5 star. And I loved the extensive Wine Menu. What makes any accommodation memorable is of course the staff. And Qualia Resort has them in spades – all friendly and totally professional. And our thanks to those who pampered us – Meg, Freya, Jorge, Holly, Ava, Fraser, Arthur, Marco, Tiberio, Santiago, Tamika & Ben (Sommelier)

Wow! What a beautiful resort and island. VIEWS FOR DAYS. This was all around stellar. Particularly the service, activities and views. Lovely Best: Rooms are fantastic. A contemporary rustic style. Huge. Amazing views. True luxury. Service strong VIEWS!!!!!!!!!!! Included activities are fantastic…as is the activities staff! Opportunities: The food was a bit too “froo froo” for me. Wanted some options that were simpler and more straight forward. Everything was either prefix or high end fine dining. Even the poolside menu was a bit too sophisticated and didn’t have many simple options. While I enjoy this sometimes, I wanted more choice. The island transport is all golf carts. The one I had was low horsepower. I worried whether it would make it up the island hills without puttering out. Overall loved this place and experience. Images cannot truly capture the specialness

This was an unforgettable stay. The room was spacious and luxurious with a wonderful hanging outdoor balcony. We loved the swimming pool area with the infinity pool overlooking the beach and the cabanas and attentive staff. The grounds were immaculately maintained and the reception pavilion is world class as is the food. The private excursion to Whitehaven beach was a must. We highly recommend the resort.
