The idea of a break on an island as picturesque as this is most welcoming. Hamilton Island, on the great barrier reef has everything you could ask for.
Stunning views, pale green blue coral seas, temperature normally over 81’ every day, an exclusive waterfront pool and golf very much on the agenda.
The Hamilton Island Yaught Club has been created by Hamilton Island Owner Bob Oatley and famed yachtsman Iain Murray using the talents of architect Walter Barda. Barda has utilised natural timbers, sweeping lines, and a spacious open floor plan to compliment the beautiful surroundings. The finish is down to leading designers Coco Republic, who have furnished the interiors with an elegant kind of comfortable.
The spacious four-bedroom, four-bathroom stand-alone Hamilton Island Yacht Club Villas boast a wonderfully spectacular and panoramic view of the adjacent Dent Island and Dent Passage, the Hamilton Island Marina, and the surrounding Whitsunday Islands.
I mentioned Golf. Hamilton Island has the only championship island golf course in Australia. You also get to use the villa’s own golf buggy - you are here to take it easy.
