Qualia muss man erleben! wunderschöne Anlage mit exklusiven großzügigen Villen mit eigenem Clubcar mit dem man die Insel erkunden kann,schöner Strand/ Poolbereich mit Wassersportmöglichkeiten die inklusive sind ,hier die wirklich engagierte superfreundliche Mia zu erwähnen! sehr angenehm der turn down service wo es Tee und Duftlämpchen gibt, sehr wohltuend für den Gast! 2 kleine Minuspunkte: Frühstück etwas chaotisch, Kaffee kommt nicht, Bestellungen werden verwechselt oder vergessen, jeden Tag die gleiche Frage nach Allergien.... Check in zunächst von Hamilton super freundlich, dann leider Mrs Holli arrogant ,fast feindselig und unterkühlt und emotionslos. Wir verlängerten den Aufenthalt dort für 2 Tage- kein freundliches Wort, dafür gleich die Summe und Aufforderungen der Kreditkarte, schade!!! Immerhin sind wir der zahlende Gast und hätte uns über ein paar warme Worte gefreut.Abgesehen davon, alles top!

We recently spent 3 nights at Qualia Resort in early February 2024. The resort was breathtaking! We absolutely loved the staff and our Pavilion was extraordinary! We planned a fantastic excursion to the Great Barrier Reef via helicopter with a brief stop on Whitsunday Island's Whitehaven Beach. The resort has their own helipad. This resort is impeccable in every way and we cannot wait to return!

The most beautiful and best ocean side resort! The staff are very professional and wonderful and helpful. The pavilion we stayed is truly wonderful with total privacy and everything is to the expectation. The breakfast is excellent and the dinner dinning experience is spectacular! The pool and the surrounding is absolutely beautiful. The library has some most amazing book collections. It’s truly the best resort in the world.

Tranquil and serene
Truly for couples and those who wants total privacy , peace and quiet. Turndown service was very nice with some nice touches. There were incidences of miscommunication eg: I requested for inroom breakfast dining on the check out day. We called reception the day b4 and the reception said a form will be brought to us. There wasn’t any. So we called the in dining and they gladly arrange. Breakfast was great though. But drinks ordered wasn’t brought to us. We saved the trouble n made it on our room in the room. The day before checkout , i called the reception to request to pick us up from our room at 10.30 am. For some strange reason , the pax came at 10am for the luggage. We were slightly confused. Beach club has this slip to inform about the timing of picking up lugguage which I find was really useful. Also our luggages were not in the van with us on the way to the airport. There was a slight panic when we do not see our luggages because the couple with us got theirs. It only came close to half an hr later which was explained to us the vehicle ( the one our luggage was on) broke down on the way here. Other than that , it was close to a perfect stay.

Amazing
It's expensive, but the location, staff and facilities are second to none. The resort is very well planned, with huge 'pavillions' cleverly landscaped so that you don't even see your neighbours, it only ever felt like there was a handful of guests despite Qualia being fully booked when we were there. Staff were great, attentive professional without being intrusive. Highly, highly recommend the private beach transfers to local islands, where they'll set you up on a beach with your own parasol, beach loungers and lunch, usually without anyone else being anywhere nearby! Whitehaven is stunning, and getting there by helicopter even more so, especially when it leaves from Qualias own helipad! If you can spare the cash and have an occasion to justify the trip, don't hesitate.

Private relaxed resort
Thought the villas just gorgeous - spacious and private. Certainly the pick of the accommodation in Hamilton Island where the rest of the Island facilities are pretty tired. More variation is need with the food offering at Qualia. After 2 days I was ready to move on - not a noodle, rice or pasta on the menu and no spice or curry anywhere. Fine food although absolutely delicious is not always needed and for around the pool there needs to be more variety and more 'poolside' options. The quality of the cocktails varied depending on who made them. The pool is gorgeous, and the loungers, but not ideal when plane after plane is taking off over your head. Doesn't add to the ambience. The spa is a must - absolutely divine.

HAMILTON PERFECTION
FOR THE DISCERNING TRAVELLER A STAY AT QUALIA REPRESENTS ALL THAT ONE COULD ASK FOR IN A HOLIDAY. THE HIGH STANDARDS OF BOTH THE STAFF AND THE FACILITIES ARE EVIDENT UPON YOUR ARRIVAL AND CONTINUE THROUGHOUT YOUR STAY. WE COULD NOT RECOMMEND THE RESORT HIGHLY ENOUGH, WE WILL BE BACK!!
