The Whitsundays

Welcome to the Whitsundays – Naturally Iconic

Nature’s Masterpiece, waiting to be explored. 

There’s a reason we love where we live — and once you arrive, you’ll feel it too. The Whitsundays is more than just a destination. It’s a living postcard of Australia’s most iconic natural beauty: where turquoise waters meet white silica beaches, lush islands float on the horizon, and every view feels like magic. 

Perfectly positioned in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays is located on Queensland’s central coast — about 1,120km north of Brisbane and 630km south of Cairns. Whether you’re exploring above, below, or beyond the reef, this is a place that will stay with you long after you leave. 

Naturally beautiful. Effortlessly iconic. Authentically unforgettable. 

 

A Place Like No Other

Nestled in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays is home to 74 stunning islands, each with its own unique charm. Whether you’re sailing across the Coral Sea, hiking through lush national parks, or diving beneath the surface to discover vibrant marine life, every moment here is extraordinary. 

Sailing, Snorkelling & Exploring

The Whitsundays is a world-class playground for ocean lovers. Whitehaven Beach, consistently ranked among the world’s most beautiful beaches, boasts pure silica sand that feels like silk underfoot. Snorkellers and divers can explore the fringing reefs teeming with marine life, while sailors chase the wind across the azure waters. For those who love adventure on land, hiking trails lead to breathtaking lookouts, including the famous Hill Inlet, where swirling sands create a mesmerizing natural masterpiece.

Rich in History & Culture

Long before it became a bucket-list destination, the Whitsundays was home to the Ngaro people, one of Australia’s earliest recorded Indigenous groups. Their ancient rock art and cultural sites, such as those at Nara Inlet, offer a glimpse into their deep connection with this land and sea.
