Hamilton Island
Coming in at number one out of the Whitsundays’ 74 islands is Hamilton Island. The biggest and the best – Hamilton Island doesn’t make it a hard choice.

Unsurprisingly, plenty of native critters have made the island their home, too. Meet and greet koalas and kangaroos on wildlife-watching tours or hike through the rainforest to a hilltop peak and count neighbouring islands in the distance. Beaches plucked straight from a postcard and pristine coral cays provide the backdrop for snorkelling, yachting and kayaking adventures.

"Absolutely loved palm bungalows, really happy with our choice to stay there. Slightly out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the main hotel but with access to all the facilities which was perfect for us as a couple. Easily walkable to all the amenities and facilities. Definitely recommend."

"Great location and suited our needs. Private pool area to keep away from the crowds. Close walk to beach and other facilities on Catseye beach. Only down side was nowhere to hang clothes and no one came to fix it. No Wifi but advertised, would not connect no matter what we tried"

A lovely private island with a bustling marina complex. Lots of restaurants but need to book early - ideally before you go. We struggled to get reservations so are in the hotel most nights. There is a Hamilton Island app that I recommend downloading

This is an amazing place where you can really relax whilst exploring the Islands and reefs. Would be back in a flash!

A relaxing, car-free, dog-free holiday place, beautifully maintained with lush vegetation. Birds and some marsupials to spot, and you can wade or snorkel in the sea at Catseye Beach, while the fish swim around you.
