Evenings are made for waterfront dinners, rooftop cocktails, or a sunset harbour cruise.

Fly to the Whitsundays and settle into your luxury island resort. Sail through turquoise waters to Whitehaven Beach, snorkel vibrant coral gardens, swim in aquamarine lagoons, and enjoy relaxed afternoons at the pool or spa. Choose between a Great Barrier Reef excursion, helicopter flights over Heart Reef, paddleboarding, or simple sun-soaked downtime.
Overnights: qualia (Hamilton Island) or InterContinental Hayman Island
Fly north to your private tropical island lodge—Lizard Island or Orpheus Island—for three days where nothing is scheduled unless you want it to be. Enjoy snorkelling or diving straight from the island, private boat trips, sandbank picnics, kayaks, paddleboards, sunset cocktails, spa treatments, and long, quiet hours of oceanfront serenity.
Overnights: Lizard Island or Orpheus Island
Fly back to the mainland for your onward flight. Add extra island nights for an extended 12–day barefoot-luxury escape.
