Blue Water, White Sand, and Unspoiled Bush - Getting Acquainted With Hamilton Island

Gateway to the Whitsunday Archipelago, Hamilton Island sits like an emerald in the aquamarine Coral Sea. Although a tourist magnet since the 1970s, it’s only since wine magnate Robert Oatley purchased the island in 2003 that it’s become a sought-after destination for well-heeled celebrities and ordinary families alike. With a commitment to sustainability, and a consummate balance of amenities and unspoiled nature, Hamilton Island is a singular tropical island destination.

The emphasis is on fresh ingredients, with chefs making use of local, sustainable produce wherever possible.

All of Hamilton Island’s dining options have one thing in common: a breathtaking Whitsunday Islands’ backdrop.

Travel Tips - Getting the Most Out of Your Hamilton Island Vacation

Hamilton Island offers fine sand, clear aquamarine waters, and lush green foliage - just like most of the 74 Whitsunday Archipelago’s islands. Hamilton, however, is the only one with a wide choice of hotels and restaurants, and a sophisticated yet laid-back vibe. It’s easily reached by plane and boat, and is a perfect casting-off point for the Great Barrier Reef.
