Ultra Luxury Queensland Holidays

Queensland is the second largest state in Australia and is five times the size of Japan. Located in the northeast of the country, it has 7,000 km of coastline and a landscape made up of more than 1,000 ecosystem types.

The state has five World Heritage Sites, including the famous Great Barrier Reef which can be seen from space. The world's largest reef ecosystem is home to thousands of marine species, so diving here is a bucket list experience. White sand beaches and crystal clear waters are a standard here. You can't get more picture-perfect than the Whitsundays, an island group in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.

K’gari Fraser Island, the world’s largest sand island, is also in Queensland. If you want amazing seclusion away from the stresses of everyday life, Lizard Island is a great choice, complete with a five-star resort that boasts a fantastic rainforest and beach as a back garden.

For those wanting an urban experience, towns such as Port Douglas are a perfect combination of coastal chic merged with urban touches. Explore national parks or take a helicopter ride and see the town for itself. Those with a swing for golf will be in their element too thanks to several tropical fairways that can be enjoyed here.

Other must-visit destinations in Queensland include the Gold Coast, thanks to its subtropical climate and brilliant beaches. Brisbane is the state's cosmopolitan capital, plus tropical Cairns is the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the wild UNESCO-listed Daintree Rainforest.

Queensland In A Nutshell

Life’s A Beach

With more than 1,000 beaches to choose from, sand and sea lovers will be in their element. Whitehaven Beach found in the Whitsunday Islands offers sparkling turquoise waters ideal for scuba diving and exploring the underwater paradise.

The Gold Coast is a city on the mainland and it's famous for its long stretches of golden sand. You're spoilt for choice when it comes to sunbathing, and it's a popular destination for thrill seekers wanting to experience surfing, fishing and a variety of watersports all in one place. A true luxury that will have you enjoying yourself for hours.

Another luxurious haven is Palm Cove, perfect for those wanting to soak up a little culture too due to the five-star hotels, amazing shopping and world-class restaurants. The tropical suburb of Cairns is a small community with heavenly beaches worth visiting.

Adventure Awaits

The Great Barrier Reef is the ideal tropical adventure, perfect for those wanting to dive and explore the idyllic and iconic site. Made up of more than 2,300 kilometres of reef and marine life, you will be in your element as you explore the beautiful Australian waters. Don’t forget your flippers!

The Daintree National Wildlife Park can be found in Port Douglas and is great for budding adventurers wanting to admire stunning national wildlife, flora and fauna. If you’re feeling brave, the rainforest zipline is a must and offers the best views in the house.

If you're craving nature, beaches and a chance to get away from it all, K'gari Fraser Island is calling your name. The world's largest sand island is UNESCO-listed and you can head out and explore on 4WD tours as well as fishing and whale watching. Hervey Bay is regarded as the whale-watching capital of the world as over 1,500 humpback whales pass by on their annual migration to Antarctica from August to October.

Tastes To Try

Brisbane is packed with fabulous fine-dining restaurants. Notable places to add to your list are Donna Chang, Patina, Alchemy and Blackbird Bar & Grill. Exhibition offers a unique dining experience based on a Japanese-style omakase while the Tillerman is a popular haunt for seafood. We recommend reserving your table at these restaurants in advance!

Macrossan Street in Port Douglas is well-known for its first-class shopping and eateries. Watergate Restaurant and Lounge Bar is no exception with modern Australian cuisine that will leave you drooling just by reading the menu. A perfect stop-off for lunch or pre-dinner cocktails, this is a luxury meal you will never want to end.

What about truly Indigenous cuisine? Ochre Restaurant in Cairns celebrates bush foods using sustainable regional Australian produce. In Port Douglas, Flames of the Forest is a cultural dining experience that has you tucking into a seven-course meal accompanied by performances from the local Kuku Yalanji People. Even better? You'll be sitting among twinkling lights under the Daintree Rainforest canopy.
