A visit to the Whitsundays offers something for everyone from a fun-filled, adventure-packed family holiday to a luxurious romantic escape for two. With so much natural beauty on our doorstep you can snorkel or scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef, soak up the sun on WhitehavenBeach or sail around the WhitsundayIslands. You can choose to stay in one of the many beautiful island resorts or base yourself on the mainland and enjoy the fun & friendly atmosphere of Airlie Beach and surrounds with it's lively nightlife and delectable restaurants. The hardest part will be choosing how to fit it all in.
Bordered by the Great Barrier Reef in the calm waters of the Coral Sea, the 74 tropical islands of the Whitsundays lie midway along Australia's Queensland coast.
Airlie Beach, on the Whitsunday Coast, is the vibrant hub of the region, and the gateway to the 74 islands - only eight of which are inhabited. The Whitsunday Coast region also spans from the beautiful beaches of Bowen in the north, to the inland township of Proserpine, to the golf greens of Laguna Quays in the south.
From here, the Whitsundays are a natural gem to be discovered. Marvel at the natural beauty of Heart Reef. Sink your feet into the white, silica sands of world-famous Whitehaven Beach, or simply set sail across the sparkling azure waters and explore the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef at your own pace. There's so much to see and do, you can come back year after year for a new experience and a different memorable holiday every time!
