Concierge Insider
- At certain times of year, Queensland attracts jellyfish, so be
prepared to wear a stinger suit when out on the reef (it will be
provided). - If you prefer to drive around the island, the main mode of
transport are golf buggies, which can be hired on a daily basis. - If you’re going to Hamilton Island in peak season, make restaurant
and spa bookings online well before arriving. - The Beach Club also offers complimentary breakfast at two other
locations, including Wild Life Hamilton Island, where you can
have breakfast with the koalas.
1PM
After relaxing by the pool or wandering around the lush
tropical gardens at the Beach Club, your shuttle will
drive you to the Marina. Here you’ll board a Cruise Whitsundays
catamaran that will ferry you to the famous Whitehaven Beach. You
can sit outside and drink in the views on the way to this stunning
little uninhabited island, which is said to have some of the whitest
sand in the world. Disembarking from the boat, you have three
hours to yourself to walk along the unbelievably soft sand, read
a book or swim in the azure waters, truly relaxing into island life.
5PM
Return to Hamilton Island where your shuttle will be
waiting to take you to the serene Spa Wumurdaylin
(meaning ‘dragonfly’ in the local Aboriginal language). Set in lush
tropical surrounds, the spa offers a full range of treatments to dissolve
any stress you may have brought with you. A luxurious full body
massage with essential oils is a one-way ticket to relaxation heaven.
