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!!

Super friendly, always smiling, and quick to solve any request with ease, he made everyone feel at home. If you're heading to Airlie, this is the place to stay — and make sure to say hi to Emir!
