Honeymoon Inspiration – Hamilton Island, Australia
***
Just a few miles from the east coast of Australia is the paradise resort of Hamilton Island. Part of the Whitsunday group of islands, Hamilton Island is surrounded by warm coral seas and beautiful landscapes. Hamilton Island is the only island in the group with its own airport, which means you can fly in from all over Australia directly. The island is a mix of hotel, villa and private accommodation meaning you have a wide choice of places to stay. It’s also home to the 5 star Qualia resort, a prestigious, secluded and private holiday destination overlooking some of the best views on the island, not that you could complain about any of the views anywhere on the island!
There are lots of facilitates on the island, ranging from restaurants and cafes (definitely recommend Bob’s Bakery for coffee and pastries!) to sport and leisure activities as well as shopping of course! Hamilton Island is also a big draw for sailing enthusiasts, with the annual Race Week taking place in August.
For our trip we used AirBnB to book into the fantastic Heliconia Grove apartments, these have amazing views over the ocean and harbour entrance meaning you get to see all the comings and goings as the days go on. If you are really lucky you might also get to see a whale from the balcony, but this is season and luck dependent!
As we had a kitchen in the apartment and could self cater, we made use of the IGA supermarket on the island, but also picked up takeaways from Popeye’s Fish and Chips and the Pizzeria. If you are looking for a special meal out, there are plenty of options for that too. And don’t forget the all important holiday ice creams from either the Gelateria or Ice Cream Parlour!
All in all, Hamilton Island is a brilliant get away, exclusive, and beautiful. As you will see from the video it is truly a place you will want to return to again and again (I know we certainly would like to go back asap!). So take a look at our Hamilton Island vlog and don’t forget to like and subscribe; happy travels!
