On the secluded northern tip of Hamilton Island, and set in lush tropical gardens, qualia is a completely private hideaway that has been designed for your total secluded relaxation and true sensory indulgence. Each of qualia’s 60 light-filled pavilions faces the water, surrounded by lush tropical bushland within the resort. All pavilions boast the spectacular tropical bushland or stunning postcard views of the Whitsundays.

The beautiful turquoise waters are dotted with numerous islands, including Hamilton Island, which is Home to the Qualia resort. Our pavilion was a standalone spacious structure with stunning views. From driving around the resort in our golf buggy, it looked like all of the pavilions shared wonderful views. The resort was immaculately clean and the staff were of a calibre really seen anywhere. The food in the restaurants is in keeping with what you would expect from a quality establishment such as this. The spa was hard to stay away from because each visit was just so good. I can't wait until we can return for another enjoyable visit.

Have always loved staying at Qualia as a couple for a romantic get away, and more recently with a young adult. Both the Windward and Leeward pavilions are plainly furnished, but in keeping with the island theme. The beds are very comfortable and there are all the amenities you would expect in a 5 star resort. We enjoyed the lunch at Pebble Beach, breakfast and dinners at the Long Pavilion. The massages at Spa Qualia were among the best we have ever had (be sure to book). There are opportunities for water sports, snorkeling, golf, hiking and other activities. All the staff at every level were unfailingly friendly and accommodating - going out of their way to meet every request and often anticipate our needs, particularly Guest Services. The whole process of flying directly there, the check-in and check-out was seamless, save for the early timing of our Qantas arrival which meant we were too early to check-in and had lunch while our pavilion was made ready. Qualia remains our favourite resort.

This is a little heaven on earth… it was serene. The staff were helpful. You get a complimentary golf cart which was nice. Food was good - waygu burger was delicious. The breakfast was also great with variety. I loved this resort and would recommend it. Only 1 thing.. we did expect a better view from the room of the water but due to the foliage is was a bit obscured so it didn’t look like the pictures I chose it from. They did try and accommodate but it wasn’t the same .
