Give Your Holiday a Strong Foundation With Island Accommodation In Queensland

Your kids may not want to stay in accommodation on a smaller Queensland island, and likewise you may not want your honeymoon interrupted by pool parties. Queensland islands offer a range of all-inclusive accommodation.
Orpheus Island
Orpheus Island, beside the Great Barrier Reef, offers all-inclusive accommodation for up to 28 people. With a maximum occupancy of 28, this resort is therefore secluded and luxurious, a perfect private retreat for couples.

Hayman Island
Hayman Island is another family friendly island with luxury accomodation in QLD. The resort was wrecked by Cyclone Debbie, but five years later it has risen like a phoenix from the ashes. The resort has two wings, one for couples and retirees and the other for families.

Take your partner out on a sunset cruise with champagne or teach your children about the natural world on beautiful nature trails. Kayaking, sailing, paddleboarding, and tennis are just some of the activities this lovely resort offers. Try fish feeding, or the golf simulator. Even the journey to the resort is filled with excitement: fly to Hamilton Island and then travel by catamaran or helicopter to Hayman Island.
