qualia, Great Barrier Reef

Set on Hamilton Island’s northern-most tip (Queensland), qualia is the perfect place from which to explore the beautiful Australian icons of the region, including Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef.

Hamilton Island is fringed by coral and is part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. One of Queensland’s Whitsunday group of islands, Hamilton Island is located south of neighbouring Whitsunday Island.
An oasis of Australian style, qualia provides exceptional levels of award-winning luxury and intuitive, friendly service.

Opened in 2007, qualia’s harmonious design is the work of Australian designer Chris Beckingham. In partnership with the Oatley family, the design philosophy was to create a luxurious Australian retreat that stimulates the senses and draws the outside in.
