We just returned from staying at Qualia for our 10 Year Wedding Anniversary. Couldn't have asked for a better place! The food, staff, accommodation, service, views and absolutely everything was faultless.... You'd have to be very fussy not to enjoy yourself here.... They have thought of everything. The only thing we couldn't change was the weather! So if i was... More

We stayed a full week at qwalia and wished we could stay longer. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Our gourmet meal was a delight and so were the other trips we undertook. Just to sit at the long pavilion with a drink and soak in the view was relaxation by itself. We atayed in the leeward pavilion... More

Having been to Hamilton Island many times, staying in various accommodations - we treated ourselves to a stay at qualia! We were so very impressed with the resort. It was outstanding. Spa qualia is an absolute treat. Do yourself a favour if you stay and book in. Restaurant is special, my fussy partner stuck to the same each night we... More

Qualia resort is a very special place. It's adults only and at the top end of luxury. The villas are extremely private and luxurious. The resort is set on the northern end of Hamilton Island which is part of the Whitsunday Islands in Queensland. It is a private enclave that is said to be the highest consumer of Veuve Cliquot...

Hello AjmSydney, Thank you very much for reviewing qualia.

We are indeed a destination for international travellers but we actually host more Australians than any other nationality. Some recent... More

My wife and I recently got back from 2 nights at Qualia. The whole experience was sensational. Upon arrival were we delighted to find that we had been upgraded to the Beach House and it only got better from there. The service deserves additional praise. More

Qualia has to be the best resort we have had the pleasure to stay at. The experience was pure luxury, attention to fine detail was evident throughout the resort. You don't need to leave Qualia as all you need to relax is located within the resort. Swimming, snorkeling, sailing, canoeing and gym is available at all times. Take time out... More

We stayed at Qualia for three nights and it was amazing. We were greeted at the airport and right from the start the service and quality was fantastic. The main reception area has an incredible view of the Whitsundays and we were given a glass of champagne on arrival. Our room was spectacular and I recommend getting a room with... More

Dear Tash28, Let me thank you for your wonderful review. In my opinion, the Windward Pavillions at qualia are well worth the extra money and I can’t recall a single Windward Pavillion guest regretting the choice to upgrade from a Leeward to a Windward. The marketing on our website describes them as having “A private sundeck and infinity-edge plunge pool... More

For us, this was a sales incentive trip. Our incredible bungalow included a large living area, huge bath and huge bedroom, lots of glass facing the water, private plunge pool, and our own golf cart. We helicoptered across the bay for golf and had a helicopter tour of some of the Great Barrier Reef. The golf course was challenging. Food... More
