qualia, Great Barrier Reef selected as one of the most romantic places in the world.
From city breaks to remote island getaways, Conde Nast Traveller lists their best places to visit for a romantic getaway.
For adventurous couples: Forget for a moment that the Whitsundays’ largest inhabited island is positioned right beside Heart Reef (exactly as it sounds: a perfectly heart-shaped coral reef). Because Hamilton Island isn’t for your typical doe-eyed duo – more for those possessing an affinity with the Australian fixation for flinging yourself into adrenalin-pumping stuff. The immaculate waters of the Great Barrier Reef offer world-class dive sites to discover together, while the island’s off-road trails provide a white-knuckle rush deep into the bush.
Where to stay: After a thrilling helicopter ride over this insanely Eden-esque landscape, daredevils can decompress at qualia, a smart property on its own peninsula. It has 60 secluded one-bedroom, glass-walled pavilions, with private sundecks for gazing over the water – some with their own infinity-edged pool.
