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!!

Popular points of interest near the accommodation include Airlie Beach, Coral Sea Marina and Port of Airlie Marina. Hamilton Island Airport is 31 km from the property. Had an awesome stay at Bounce! 🙌 The place is super clean, well-kept, and the facilities are spot on, definitely some of the best standards I’ve seen in a hostel. There’s a really friendly vibe here, everyone gets along and it just makes it so easy to meet people and feel at home. The staff are next-level, not just friendly but genuinely helpful and accommodating. Big shoutout to Nail and Sharlene, after chatting with them I actually decided to switch over to the long-term options, and I’m so glad I did. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that’s clean, social, and run by a great team, Bounce is the way to go! 🎉
