qualia

The name of this luxurious seaside retreat translates to "a collection of deeper sensory experiences" in Latin. At qualia, these experiences are pursued at a relaxed pace and washed in idyllic luxury. 

Property Details 

Inspired to draw the outside in at qualia, Australian architect Chris Beckingham has created open, peaceful spaces that stimulate the senses and complement the natural surrounds. Native eucalyptus neighbors the gracious freestanding pavilions, handcrafted with a mix of magnificent timber and stone with interiors that bring nature into the artwork and fabrics. 

Leeward pavilions include a private sundeck, with perfect views of the incredible island sunsets, while the Windward pavilions feature a plunge pool and views over the Coral Sea. The en suite baths are finished in fine stone with separate shower and plenty of room for two. As an additional luxury, each accommodation has their own two-seater golf cart for effortlessly navigating the island. For expanded entertaining areas, a private full-size pool and separate guest quarters, indulge in the privacy and exclusivity of the Beach House. 

Venture beyond your private pavilion to enjoy the amenities of the island getaway. Dine overlooking the Coral Sea at Long Pavilion, with fresh and inventive fine dining and an impressive wine selection available. Pebble Beach specializes in casual lunches, light fare and tempting cocktails. Located at the center of the resort, Spa qualia specializes in local and international treatments with natural Australian products enhancing the pampering experience. 

Activities at qualia are designed for guests to take full advantage of the incredible outdoors. Six beaches are yours to explore, with gourmet picnic lunches available to enhance your day in the sun and sand. Spend the day snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or let the qualia sailing professionals give lessons on the Hobie catamarans. Take a relaxed day trip or sunset cruise aboard the Atomic, qualia’s 45-foot ship. The Atomic is also available for private charters and full-day cruises to secluded dive and snorkeling locales. Avid golfers may also wish to visit the only championship island course in Australia, the Hamilton Island Golf Club.
