escape to luxury

Airlie Beach once considered the exclusive domain of backpackers is emerging as a luxury getaway to rival the islands. Airlie is so accessible, with direct flights from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane it's the perfect base to explore all the Whitsundays has to offer. Unlike the islands, all the major attractions depart from Airlie Beach, so you have your pick of the adventure activities.

Excitement is building ahead of the opening next month of Heart Hotel & Gallery Whitsundays, a landmark new development scheduled to open mid September in Airlie Beach.
