About Beach Club Hamilton Island
Right on the edge of Catseye Beach with your toes literally in the sand, Beach Club Hamilton Island is the island's most exclusive address. This adults-only boutique resort is designed purely for couples looking for that perfect romantic escape - think champagne on arrival, private restaurant, infinity pool overlooking the Coral Sea, and not a screaming child in sight.
All 57 rooms face directly onto Catseye Beach with your own private balcony or terrace where you can watch wallabies hop across the lawn at sunrise. The service here is next level - you get picked up from the airport in your own private vehicle, there's a complimentary chauffeur service to take you anywhere on the island, and staff will bring you water and drinks while you're lounging by the pool or beach. Every morning starts with a complimentary a la carte breakfast where you can order whatever you fancy.
The Beach Club Hamilton Island sits on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef, making it perfect for couples who want a mix of relaxation and adventure. Spend the morning snorkelling straight off the beach with free equipment, take a catamaran out on the Coral Sea, then head back for sunset cocktails at your private restaurant. It's the kind of place where you feel properly looked after without it being stuffy or formal.

"The location was absolutely stunning being right on Catseye Beach with access to lots of fun activities included in our stay. The brunch was a highlight - it's a la carte and included in your stay. Our apartment was enormous! The view is incredible, and the room is very spacious and clean - one of the best accommodations we've ever experienced."

"Everything about Beach Club on Hamilton Island is about luxury delivered in a laid back and informal style. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The vista out across Catseye Beach from the restaurant and from the awesome infinity pool are hard to beat. The rooms are large, well decorated and very well serviced with great bathrooms including wet room style showers."
TripAdvisor
Heads up: Hamilton Island isn't cheap - expect premium prices for everything from dining to activities. However, Beach Club Hamilton Island includes heaps of extras (breakfast, airport transfers, chauffeur service, water sports equipment) that make it better value than it first appears. The pool area can get crowded during peak times, so stake your claim early!

The Location
Sitting right on Catseye Beach on Hamilton Island's eastern shore, Beach Club Hamilton Island has the best beachfront position on the island. You're literally steps from the sand, with uninterrupted views across the Coral Sea to the Whitsunday Islands. The location puts you right in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, making it the perfect base for exploring one of the world's natural wonders.
What's Nearby
Hamilton Island Marina: Just a 10-minute walk (or hop on the free chauffeur service) to one of Australia's largest marinas. This is where most Great Barrier Reef tours depart from, plus there are cafes, restaurants, and shops to explore. The marina village has a relaxed Mediterranean feel with beautiful boardwalks perfect for an evening stroll.
Catseye Beach: Your beach! This protected bay is perfect for swimming, with calm turquoise water and soft white sand. Free use of catamarans, paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling gear means you can explore the coral gardens right off the beach. Wallabies often hop along the sand at sunrise and sunset.
Whitehaven Beach: About 30 minutes by boat, this is one of the world's most beautiful beaches with pristine white silica sand. Day trips depart daily from the marina, or you can arrange a private charter through the resort's tour desk.
Hamilton Island Resort Centre: The main hub is a 10-minute walk or free chauffeur ride away. Here you'll find supermarkets, boutique shops, a medical centre, and dozens of dining options ranging from casual cafes to fine dining restaurants.
What You'll Experience
Hamilton Island is one of 74 Whitsunday Islands sitting on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. The island has its own airport with direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns, making it incredibly accessible. Everything on the island runs on buggy time - locals zip around in golf carts, giving the place a relaxed, traffic-free vibe.
Beach Club Hamilton Island gives you the best of both worlds - complete seclusion and privacy at your adults-only resort, but you're still close enough to walk to restaurants, activities and the marina when you want to explore. The island offers everything from scenic flights and helicopter tours to diving, snorkelling, fishing charters, jet skiing, and sailing. There's also an 18-hole championship golf course on neighbouring Dent Island.
