Airlie Beach, long renowned as a backpacker mecca, is growing up. There are some wonderfully romantic ways to experience the Whitsundays on a honeymoon or romantic holiday with someone special.
Lady Enid Sailing
The only strictly adults only tour in the Whitsundays is simply made for couples. With 3 premium tours to choose from, you can rest assured that you will find no kids, so you can relax and soak up the atmosphere of a sailing trip around the Whitsunday Islands.
Choose from full day trips to either Whitehaven Beach or Langford Island, and enjoy some snorkelling, excellent food all day, top notch service from the crew, with antipasto and a glass of bubbly on the sail home.
If you don’t have a full day, join lady Enid for a 2 hour Sunset Sailing Experience, 3 nights a week. You will get an Aperol Spritz on arrival and a personal antipasto platter, along with the best vantage point to capture the sunset.
A romantic dinner in Airlie Beach
For a special, romantic dinner, you simply must try the new Belvedere at Toscana. The six-course tasting menu is simply divine, using high quality seasonal produce, and ask the wait staff for matched wine recommendations.
Organise a private picnic at a beach or park. Visit FISHI and The Prickly Pineapple to get the best fresh local seafood and fruit platters. Whitty Vibes offers fantastic picnic packages with grazing platters
Island escapes
The Whitsundays is blessed with some of the best island resorts in Australia. From world-renowned Hayman Island in the north, where you can indulge and unwind in five star luxury, to the small secluded resort at Palm Bay on Long Island, which is for guests aged 16+ only, partly self-catering, and all romantic.
Take an island camping trip with Scamper, who can provide all the camping gear too. Book an island camp site, some take as few as 8 people, but you can often find one all to yourselves too. Be the only people on the beach as the sun sets in the evening and rises the next morning.
Something for free
If you have a car, find your way to the Mandalay jetty for a prime sunset viewing location. Facing west, you can enjoy the sunset over the township of Airlie Beach in peace and privacy.
