Hamilton Island Accommodation

It is no surprise Hamilton Island is one of Australia’s top tourist destinations. Not only is it geographically breathtaking but the average year round temperature is a balmy 27 degrees.

Located off the coast of Queensland and on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island is one of the 74 islands which make up the Whitsunday group. 

Visitors can expect to find clear blue waters, amazing coral reefs and marine life, private beaches and a cosmopolitan dining strip complete with the freshest seafood.

Outdoor activities are the highlight on Hamilton Island both in water and on land, with adventures and experiences for all ages.

Take a cruise to the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach, grab some friends and sail a yacht through the Whitsundays, play a round of golf on one of Australia’s premier courses, and uncover the secrets of the deep when snorkelling the reef.  

Visitors may even choose to soak up the serenity, relax poolside and do nothing at all.

On Hamilton Island there is an accommodation style to suit everyone, including budget conscious options and indulgent alternatives. With family-friendly hotels and self-catering apartments all types of travellers are welcome.

The Marina Village and resort centre feature fantastic shopping and speciality stores.

The island has its own airport – just 5 minutes from the resorts - that handles direct domestic flights daily, international chartered flights and local helicopters, planes and seaplanes.

Visitors can also arrive at Hamilton Island Marina by ferry from Shute Harbour (30 minute trip). There are also berths available for those sailing their own yacht.
