Perfect for little travellers, this car-free island is easily accessible via direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, and you can explore all its beauty by a complimentary shuttle or golf buggy - a signature island novelty kids love!

From snorkelling in vibrant coral reefs to making friends with local wildlife, Hamilton Island delivers an idyllic escape like no other, with over 12 kilometres of pristine nature trails and secluded hideaways, Australia’s only island golf course and the indulgent Spa, wumurdaylin. Hamilton Island is also the perfect launchpad for visiting the world-famous Whitehaven Beach - Lonely Planet's Best Beach in the World 2025, just a short high-speed catamaran ride away.
