Our last night at Qualia tonight and we are so sad to leave but so glad we came. Stayed 4 nights in the most beautiful resort in the world in my opinion. No detail has been missed.

We stayed at Qualia to celebrate a milestone birthday in May. We loved the experience of utter indulgence and luxury. The windward pavilion was stunning with magnificent views. Loved the champagne on arrival and the food in the Long Pavilion for breakfast and dinner was sublime. Expensive lunch at Pebble Beach but a fab spot to dine and very relaxing... More

Dear billy0063, It is great to receive such a nice review. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. It seems that the only challenging part of your qualia stay was on the fairways of the breathtaking Hamilton Island Golf Club. That's just the way we like it. We look forward to welcoming you back to qualia. Warmest Regards... More

We stayed at Qualia for 4 nights, with the first two days being a small on site conference and the remainder a relaxing, indulgent experience. We were in a Windward Pavilion which is a bedroom/bathroom/living room villa with a private pool, sun loungers and day bed. This side of the resort has expansive views out over the Whitsundays, and the... More

We eloped to Qualia in November 2012. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff. Our pavilion was clean, had everything we needed and just really beautiful, the food in the restaurants was fantastic, the pool area was sensational and we can't wait to go back. We were married on the helipad and then had a meal... More

Absolutely stunning hotel with outstanding service - you will be relaxed within 15 of checking in as if you'd been there all week. Frightfully expensive but can't fault the stay. The pebble beach infinity pool and surrounds is lovely and the Windward Pavillion Villas are exceptional and very private. Very sad to leave

Having stayed at Hayman Is many times we thought it time to give the well reviewed Qualia a try. The 3 hour flight from Melbourne and the transfer straight from the airport means you are in your room before lunch. The room itself is well laid out with understated luxury but maybe lacking the polish we expect from resorts at... More

This is a very well oiled machine, operating at near peak performance.
