Whitsunday Sands Resort is uniquely located on its own private peninsula, by the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef. It offers all guests private access to 2 separate, magnificent beaches. On the eastern side of the resort is Horseshoe Bay, rated as one of the best beaches in Australia, while on the western side is the picturesque Greys Bay. You can enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset over the water on the main land, from the resort.

This absolute beachfront property is a 5-minute drive from Bowen Golf Course and a 7-minute drive from Bowen Summergarden Cinemas. It's our second time staying at Whitsunday Sands Resorts. Enjoyed it the first time and loved it the second time. Will definitely be back again!!

Situated in Airlie Beach, Bounce Airlie Beach has a garden, shared lounge, bar, and free WiFi throughout the property. The property is set 4.3 km from Whitsunday Art Gallery. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Airlie Beach, Coral Sea Marina and Port of Airlie Marina. Hamilton Island Airport is 31 km from the property. This place is miles ahead of the other nearby hostels in terms of facilities, cleanliness and customer service. It's just a 5min walk from the main street, secluded enough to get some peace and hear the nature, surrounded by picturesque hills 🌲 Stayed for 2 weeks and always had great quality sleep in the rooms. Firm mattresses and thick pillows, which is a rare find in a hostel! Rooms, bathrooms and common areas are always spotless, with staff working round the clock to ensure this. The fully air-conditioned lobby has a huge social space with a bar, TV, beanbags, ping pong. Perfect place to chill out and meet people. Love the nightly events held by the hostel (beer pong, trivia, movie nights, pizza, cheese and wine) its really a great way to meet like minded travellers. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here, they're all extremely hospitable and make the vibe here what it is. :) For only being open for 3 months, this hostel is doing everything right. Can't wait to return as they plan to open a swimming pool!

Situated within 100 metres of Airlie Beach and 1.4 km of Coral Sea Marina, Pavilions Collection features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Airlie Beach. Featuring sea and inner courtyard views, this apartment also includes free WiFi. Outdoor seating allows guests to enjoy the fresh air. Excellent apartment, very well decorated and very well equipped. The location is as central as possible within the city. Every need we had was within walking distance. Restaurants, supermarket, bar and tourist attractions. It was the first time we were in a property without employees, where the entire check-in/out process was done by us via smartphone. Despite our fear, everything went very well. This apartment made us want to stay longer, but our travel plans didn't allow us to. It's a place we want to return to one day.

Located 400 metres from Airlie Beach, Sunlit Waters Studio Apartments offers an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony and free WiFi.

Coral Sea Marina is 1.3 km from the accommodation, while Whitsunday Art Gallery is 4.4 km away. The nearest airport is Hamilton Island, 13 km from Sunlit Waters Studio Apartments. I especially loved the fact that it is so peaceful and quiet, and still very close to town. Super clean as well, with everything you need to prepare your own meals. The aircon works great and is really quiet, and the staff is super friendly! Would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Airlie!
