Qualia, Hamilton Island, Australia

Qualia is tucked away in an exclusive precinct on Hamilton Island’s northern-most tip, qualia’s 60 private pavilions look onto the Coral Sea and the surrounding Whitsunday Islands. Island-inspired architectural sculptures in specimen timbers, sandstone and glass, frame the surrounding landscape of Australian Eucalypts and the Coral Sea. Subtly elegant, instinctively Australian and distinctively qualia, the resort’s 60 individually designed pavilions flow through to private sun decks and infinity plunge pools overlooking the sea.

At Qualia, Executive Chef Alastair Waddell’s cuisine is inspired by the resorts stunning vistas, creating menus that are light, fresh and healthy.
