Queensland is home to most of Australia’s most popular holiday resorts. The fantastic climate, especially during the southern winter, sees thousands of frozen southerners coming to Queensland to thaw out in the warm winter sun. One of their most popular destinations are the island resorts of Queensland’s Whitsundays region in the centre of the state. The 74 islands of the Whitsunday Passage, make up a holiday destination that is without equal and here you will find some of Australia’s finest island resorts as well as some of the best luxury accommodation in the country.

These island resorts include such well know icons as Hamilton Island resort, Orpheus Island Resort, Hayman Island resort, Daydream Island resort and Lizard Island resort.

All of these have something different to offer and when it comes to the luxury end of the market, places like Peppers Palm Bay resort on Long Island, Qualia resort, the Hamilton Island yacht club Villas, the Beach Club Resort and the Reef View Hotel, all situated on Hamilton Island, mean that you will be able to holiday in an absolutely luxurious resort if you choose one of these.
