The Whitsundays -

The Whitsundays, located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, and home to the 'Best Job In The World'! 74 Islands floating like jewels in the tropical warm waters of the Coral Sea.

Take a couple hours strolling along the white sands of Whitehaven beach. Spend a day or two snorkelling The Great Barrier Reef. Or give yourself a whole week skippering your own private yacht from one island to another. Whatever time you want to take, there's always plenty to do. Scuba dive, jet ski, kayak, take a helicopter ride and picnic on a deserted island or just sit by the pool sipping a cocktail.

Only eight of the islands are home to secluded resorts, the rest are untouched hideaways of white sand and lush greenery.

The Whitsunday Coast is an idyllic playground lapped by the Coral Sea. The vibrant resort town of Airlie Beach has a range of places to lay your head from budget to boutique; year-round swimming in the lagoon; and fabulous restaurants, bars and cafes.
