Your special birthday plans just got made!

Welcome back, Villa Illalangi

What a story the “House on the Hill” has to tell. High on the island, exposed to all that beauty, the home fell victim to tropical cyclone Debbie in 2017. Forward 2.5 years and 3 million dollars later, and Villa Illalangi has reclaimed its stately position amongst the most desirable destinations on Hamilton Island. For us, it’s a welcome return to one of our most popular homes with travelling groups and families celebrating a special occasion.

Beauty restored from on high

On our return inspection recently, we felt excited by the new Villa from the moment we set eyes upon the statement entrance. The interiors, the exteriors, nothing disappoints. It’s perfect for an island celebration amongst friends. Hang out and enjoy the tropical island paradise you’re staying in.

What’s not to love?

To make a special occasion home work, you need space. Villa Illalangi spreads out over four luxurious levels. The new interiors are contemporary to the max, architecturally designed to accommodate everyone comfortably any time of the day or night. The expansive upstairs lounge area has ample seating overlooking the balcony overlooking the pool and tropical gardens below. The covered dining area has stunning water and island views. The downstairs lounge, bar and bathroom lead directly to the deck and pool. The pool and gardens are maintained by the villa’s (and your) Personal Manager Hans, who will share island information with you and help plan trips if asked.

Private and luxurious

Villa Illalangi’s new bedroom suites combine style and comfort with bathrooms that pamper the senses. If you love a great kitchen, hello from this superb Villa, completely kitted out with the platters, the appliances and the bench space to cater for any occasion. Take a look at the view from the kitchen.

Each morning, there is room for recovery around the Villa’s azure pool, looking out to the Coral Sea islands stretching clear to the horizon. The pool area is made for drinks at sunset, midnight dips under the starry sky and endless days of fun for kids.

Island life outside the door

If you can tear yourselves away from the home comforts, the golf buggies parked in your garage are an invitation to go explore the island, its bars and restaurants. Hamilton Island Marina has tours departing to the Great Barrier Reef and sunset tours that deliver real magic. Ask us about the pick of the tours at this time of the year.

A glamorous hug

While Villa Illalangi has an air of glamour about it, it is typically tropical Australia – welcoming and accommodating in a free-to-be-yourself kind of way. For anyone scouting a unique place to mark a milestone moment, your plans just got made.

Best location. Best views. Best design.

While all Whitsunday Holidays properties make the most of their position on Hamilton Island, these are some of our most popular. Some overlook the beach, near a variety of resort pools. Others are secluded and private on the sunset side of the island. All of these self-contained accommodations make the most of the stunning views. Features like an infinity edge pool or spacious balconies for entertaining add to the wow factor of some of our most popular Hamilton Island Accommodation properties. But remember you need to book well ahead.

Lagoon Apartments Hamilton Island

The number one reason Lagoon Apartments are most popular is the fact that they are directly opposite Catseye Beach, the main beach of Hamilton Island where you can swim, snorkel, paddle board or kayak. Our self contained Lagoon Apartments have been fully renovated to high standards with large balconies. They provide entertainment options for the kids and are close to Hamilton Island’s famous resort pools and amazing facilities.

Hibiscus Apartments Hamilton Island

Popular with families, Hibiscus Apartments are highly prized also for their beachfront location on Catseye Beach. All of our Hibiscus apartments are fully renovated, 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and luxuriously furbished. Parents love the pool, the beach toys and adult height latches on balcony doors. Plus you have a complimentary electronic buggy to explore Hamilton Island.

Frangipani Apartments Hamilton Island

Again, directly opposite Catseye Beach. The ground floor options here are especially popular with families and you can immerse yourselves in the tropical landscaped gardens. These apartments are available as 2 or 3 bedrooms, there’s a shared pool and you are so near to the resort facilities Hamilton Island is known for.

Shorelines Apartments Hamilton Island

The western side of the island is the sunset side and pausing to watch this spectacle at the end of the day is one of the highlights of staying here, along with the breathtaking views. First impressions count, and as you step through the door of these modern townhouses you are greeted by water and beautiful open plan living spaces. Guests of Shorelines and Edge have exclusive use of the Edge pool and you can use the complimentary buggy to ride down the hill to the Marina.

Infinity Luxury Home Hamilton Island

Luxury homes on Hamilton Island are absolutely perfect for families that are travelling together. Infinity can accommodate up to 14 people and is ideally set up for entertaining. This plush 3-storey home has stunning water views, top floor open plan living and an enormous balcony. There are 4 king bedrooms, an infinity pool with large decking and 2 four-seater buggies for your exclusive use. View Infinity Luxury Home

The post Some Of Our Most Popular Hamilton Island Properties – Book Now For 2019 appeared first on Whitsunday Holidays.

Open-plan architecture on the sunset side of the island

Our regular guests know that we are selective in what we list. We thoroughly inspect all our properties, but this one, this is the one we’ve been waiting for.

Designed by award-winning Queensland architects and situated on the sought after western side of the island, these newly minted luxury apartments have it all, including single level for privacy and exclusivity, with uninterrupted views across Dent Passage to Dent Island.

Built for entertaining

With plenty of luxury appointments and a gourmet kitchen where everything is sparkling new, you can enjoy cooking and catering for two or twenty in style and with ease. If you prefer something more immediate and treat worthy, pre-order a platter from Whitsunday Provisioning or Fishi. Serve it on your large balcony or take it down to the huge entertaining terrace next to the cabana and pool.

An infinity pool with a modern twist

One of the much-anticipated features of Hidden Cove is its infinity pool, jauntily angled off the side of the ridge with heaps of contemporary appeal.

Floor to ceiling views and balconies

Although the living area’s alfresco balcony and barbeque will be popular, there are also balconies on both the bedrooms – private cocktails at sunset a must, or a cup of freshly brewed Nespresso in the morning.

Champagne on arrival, naturally

With direct flights from Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, you can be on Hamilton Island in no time. Bypass the crowded shuttle bus. We’ll have a valet service waiting outside the terminal door to deliver you to your Hidden Cove apartment, and champagne chilled for your arrival.

Exclusive to Whitsunday Holidays

Hidden Cove 17 literally opened its doors days ago. Even the complimentary buggy is new!

We are thrilled to be offering Hidden Cove 17 as part of Hamilton Island’s exquisite new addition and we expect it will be popular leading into the summer months.

Want to be one of the first lucky parties to stay at Hidden Cove 17? Call our friendly team on 1300 653 997 – we’re available 7 days a week. Or contact us.

Hamilton Island is a dream honeymoon destination for newlyweds.

In the past few decades, the tropical island paradise nestled in the heart of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has secured a reputation as the ultimate romantic getaway, featuring regularly in bridal magazines, expos, and ‘top ten’ lists around the world.

Situated in the heart of The Whitsundays – the largest of 74 islands – Hamilton Island is perfectly positioned to showcase the romance of the region and guarantees an unforgettable honeymoon experience.

Couples don’t have to go far to indulge their passions – Hamilton Island is renowned for its convenience, class, and ability to cater to every preference. You can pace your honeymoon as fast or as slow as you like, and handpick activities that align with what you want from your getaway.

Escape to hidden beaches for an intimate picnic, sail across glittering waters to remote island coves, dine at sophisticated restaurants or laid-back cafes, stroll hand-in-hand along secluded stretches of soft white sand, and watch the sun set from island vantage points that offer breathtaking views of the dramatic Whitsunday backdrop.

Tours and excursions add memories of a lifetime to any honeymoon, with favourites including a sunset dinner cruise, an outing to Whitehaven Beach – which recently won top spot on TripAdvisor’s annual ‘World’s Best Beaches’ list for the fourth consecutive year – and a helicopter flight to experience spectacular views of the Whitsundays, including the iconic heart-shaped island, Heart Reef – a bucket list photograph for any honeymooner.

Hello!  I’m Kristie, the Founder of Whitsunday Holidays.

I was recently interviewed by a travel writer about the luxury home options within our wide range of Hamilton Island accommodation.  This is an excerpt of the article:

“Our collection of exclusive Hamilton Island holiday homes have been handpicked for their unique features, stunning Whitsunday views, luxury facilities, and bonus comforts,” says Kristie.

“My team all hold intimate knowledge of each property and are happy to discuss guests’ unique requirements to match them with the right property for their family or group holiday wish list.”

Their selection of luxury properties cover a range of architectural styles and configurations to cater for large groups or families, and come complete with a free buggy (or two) to explore the island.

Packed with resort-style facilities and hidden surprises, the holiday homes exceed all expectations.

Whether you want to relax in the serenity of an infinity pool, enjoy a hit of tennis on your private court, cook up your catch in a gourmet kitchen, take advantage of free Wi-Fi, enjoy a BBQ overlooking stunning water views, watch the sunset from your private deck, or perhaps entertain around your personal teppanyaki grill, a luxury Hamilton Island holiday home will leave you spoiled for choice.

If you thought holiday accommodation in Hamilton Island luxury homes was out of your price range, guess again.  The days when holidaying in the prestigious homes that grace Hamilton Island were only for the well-heeled or well connected are long gone. Today’s savvy guest knows how to get the best from their holiday experience without breaking the budget.

Kristie Kaighin, owner and operator of Whitsunday Holidays – the Hamilton Island and Whitsunday holiday specialists – explains, “More and more people are looking for luxury at the higher end of the market, and this is reflected in our bookings and enquiry levels.”  With a portfolio of over sixty unique properties, Kristie believes a luxury home is the ideal choice for holidaymakers seeking prestige, privacy and comfort, without compromising their budget.

“Our exclusive Hamilton Island luxury homes cater for large groups and are perfect for two families travelling together. Some of our properties can accommodate up to fourteen guests, or as few as eight, according to house and bedding configuration. At Whitsunday Holidays we know our properties intimately, and can recommend accommodation based on unique guest requirements,” says Kristie.  

It’s this level of personalised service from initial enquiry through to arrival that has positioned Whitsunday Holidays as the first choice for Hamilton Island luxury accommodation.  Guests are treated like VIP’s from the moment they arrive on the Island. A warm greeting awaits them at the airport or marina, and guests are chauffer driven to their accommodation and provided with a full tour of the property to get acquainted with all its features and facilities. Says Kristie, “It’s the little touches that make such a big difference, from the champagne on arrival to the pre-booking of groceries if required.”

This attention to detail is reflected in each of the Hamilton Island luxury homes in Whitsunday Holidays’ exclusive collection.  Magnificent private houses, multi-level villas, elegant penthouses, and secluded, spacious retreats – each embodies the essence of island luxury with quality fixtures and fittings, resort-style facilities, and unique features that will appeal to every taste and budget.

“Every one of our properties has been hand-picked and inspected by me, and comes with its own brand of ‘wow factor’,” says Kristie. “Many have played host to celebrities and high profile guests, from international sports stars to media tycoons and A-list actors, so the inclusions need to be first class.”

Each luxury home comes with stunning water views and well-positioned outdoor entertaining spaces where you can relax in landscaped surrounds or enjoy a casual barbeque. A dip in the pool or a hit of tennis on your personal court might be on the cards, before driving one of two included buggies down to the Marina to explore Hamilton Island’s vibrant restaurant scene.

Spacious, comfortable and well-designed, families will enjoy the freedom a holiday home offers over that of a hotel or smaller apartment. Adults and children have their own distinct spaces to relax or come together, and many of the homes have Wi-Fi for connectivity or recreation.

If you’ve been looking for the ideal Hamilton Island accommodation for your next holiday, contact Whitsunday Holidays to discuss how a Hamilton Island luxury home could be the perfect fit for your family or group’s needs. With prices to suit all budgets, you’ll be surprised at how affordable and flexible it is to explore all the Whitsundays has to offer from a luxury base without an extravagant price tag.

Whitsunday Holidays are the number one choice for Hamilton Island accommodation and Whitsunday sailing charters and bareboat charters, delivering premium, personalised service seven days per week.
