This beautiful year round destination, with an average temperature of 27.4 degrees centigrade (81.3 degrees Fahrenheit), is of appeal to travellers of all ages, interests and budgets, and is located only two hours from Sydney and only one hour from either Brisbane or Cairns. The island's location and extensive range of facilities appeals to families, the young at heart, mariners, romantics, honeymooners and adventure travellers.

Hamilton Island can easily be reached via a selection of daily direct flights from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Cairns, using a choice of three domestic carriers: Jetstar, Virgin Blue or Qantas Link.

The island has a choice of 20 shops and boutiques and ten restaurants offering Australian, Italian and Chinese cuisine as well as fresh seafood, whilst the range of accommodation options includes The Beach Club (five-star, adults only) offering uninterrupted views of the Coral Sea; The Reef View (four-star) offering large rooms and spectacular views of the Coral Sea; Hamilton Island Holiday Properties (three- four- and five-star) which are self-contained options of one- to four-bedrooms for up to eight people, ideal for families; The Palm Terrace and The Palm Bungalows (three-star) offering affordable accommodation for budget conscious travellers.
