Whitsunday Sands Resort is uniquely located on its own private peninsula, by the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef. It offers all guests private access to 2 separate, magnificent beaches. On the eastern side of the resort is Horseshoe Bay, rated as one of the best beaches in Australia, while on the western side is the picturesque Greys Bay. You can enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset over the water on the main land, from the resort.

This absolute beachfront property is a 5-minute drive from Bowen Golf Course and a 7-minute drive from Bowen Summergarden Cinemas. It's our second time staying at Whitsunday Sands Resorts. Enjoyed it the first time and loved it the second time. Will definitely be back again!!

Boathaven Beach is 500 metres from Absolute Luxury Marina Lifestyle at The Port of Airlie Beach, while Coral Sea Marina is 3.5 km from the property. Hamilton Island Airport is 30 km away. The apartment was beautiful clean cool and bright. Everything you could need for your stay was there. We ate out on the balcony a few nights which was lovely. Bed super comfy, couch was great. Just the whole experience was lovely. Close enough to town but quiet which was really nice and like 2 minutes from the ferries to Hamilton island. One thing I'd say is just be careful on the surface in the pool if you have snaggy kind of swimwear material. Not a bad thing but I just got a couple of catches on my swimwear. But lovely pool! Lovely host, couldn't have been nicer I'm sure would have been there if we needed her but we didn't as it was perfect. The only disappointment....I wish we had stayed longer.
