Bel from Australia

A landmark on the shimmering shores of Airlie Beach, Whitsunday On The Beach epitomizes the blend of cosmopolitan vibrancy and tropical tranquility. Overlooking the azure waters of the Coral Sea, the hotel is ideally positioned for guests ready to embrace the allure of the Whitsundays. Upon arrival, you are greeted by a contemporary lobby that marries modern design with local artistic flair; the soothing palette of soft blues and whites evokes the surrounding ocean. Signature touches, such as indigenous art pieces and a welcoming reception staff, create an immediate sense of belonging. Ascend to the rooftop deck, where you can sip a glass of chardonnay, soak in panoramic views of the Whitsunday Islands, and watch the sun dip below the horizon. Each of the well-appointed suites is a haven of refined comfort; spacious layouts are adorned with premium bedding, tasteful furnishings, and kitchens designed for the casual gourmet. Beyond mere accommodation, the hotel's facilities include a serene outdoor pool enveloped in lush gardens, ensuring that relaxation is always within reach, while a full-service spa offers rejuvenating treatments for those looking to unwind further.

Explore the Local Area

Airlie Beach is an eclectic mix of energy and ease, a vibrant coastal town boasting palm-fringed beaches and bustling waterfront parks. Just a short stroll away, gourmet dining options and thriving bars beckon backpackers and travelers alike to post-sunset revelry. Immerse yourself in local culture by visiting the Airlie Beach Lagoon or take a leisurely wander to the nearby Airlie Beach Market; here, you'll find an array of artisanal goods and local produce. For adventure seekers, the Abell Point Marina and Shute Harbour Jetty are nearby gateways for day tours cruising the iconic Great Barrier Reef or making the journey to Whitehaven Beach. Convenient for travel, the bus depot handles Greyhound and Premier arrivals, and taxis are readily accessible for the short ride to the hotel.

Room Information

Whitsunday On The Beach offers a selection of 19 air-conditioned guest accommodations designed for comfort and convenience. Each room features a self-contained kitchenette equipped with modern amenities such as refrigerators, microwaves, and tea and coffee makers; thoughtful touches, including premium bedding and outdoor seating areas, add to the bespoke feel. Sizes range from cozy economy rooms to spacious family suites, delivering an aspect of home while you explore the breathtaking surroundings.

Room Upgrades

Upgrade options include the Deluxe Family Room, spanning 570 sq. ft., perfect for families with ample seating and stunning sea views; the King Suite, offering 650 sq. ft. of space with plush furnishings and additional lounging areas; and the Triple Room, accommodating up to three guests comfortably. All upgraded rooms feature private patios, fully equipped kitchenettes, and improved amenities, such as rainfall showers, ideal for unwinding after a day of adventure.

“This beachfront hotel is a family-friendly choice, mainly for its direct access to Airlie Beach Lagoon and proximity to the Great Barrier Reef. The self-contained studios include kitchenettes, though cooking facilities are basic, and some noise from nearby nightlife can be expected. I find its position ideal for active families wanting both beach time and easy access to local tours.”
