Boutique hotels in Whitsundays
The Whitsundays' small luxury stays are on Hamilton Island, with views across the turquoise passages of the Coral Sea.
The Whitsundays are 74 islands scattered off the Queensland coast, best known for Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef nearby. Most of the area's small, design-led stays are on Hamilton Island, where adults-only pavilions look out over the sea, and a newer hotel with a chef-led restaurant has joined them.
Where to stay
Hamilton Island is the easiest base, with its own airport, marina and ferries to the other islands. Sailing charters are the alternative for those who want to move between bays.
Good to know
The dry season (May to October) is the best time; the wet season and stinger season run from about November to May. Seaplane and helicopter flights to the reef are popular.
