Qualia is situated on Hamilton Island in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. Opening in September 2007, it is the Whitsundays most exclusive and luxurious hotel. Each one bedroom villa is private and freestanding with spectacular uninterrupted views of the Whitsunday waters.

Qualia meaning “a collection of sensory experiences” will not disappoint the most seasoned traveler. The 60 villa, 5 star resort features two swimming pools, two private restaurants, a beautiful six room spa complete with Roman baths, a state of the art gym and yoga centre and all with spectacular views of the surrounding tropical waters.

The Windward Pavilions are four times the size of a standard hotel room and feature their own private plunge pools. The Leeward Pavilions set in the tranquil tropical gardens of the resort will delight guests with their sense of space and meticulous design features. All Pavilions are surrounded by natural bush land as well as manicured gardens and offer their occupants total privacy from other guests and staff in the resort. An electric golf cart is provided with every Pavilion ensuring that guests are free to explore Hamilton Island at their leisure.

Qualia also offers an excellent choice of dining options. The elegant Long Pavilion restaurant and the Pebble Beach restaurant - a more casual space, will provide exceptional food and wine experiences. Fancy something more private? The resort staff can arrange intimate dining alternatives such as dinner on Qualia’s private beach or a private dining room in one of the restaurants.
