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!!

Featuring private check-in and check-out, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, luggage storage space and organising tours for guests. The location was absolutely perfect. A five minute walk to both down town and where we dropped our rental car off. The convenience took all the stress out of the travel portion of the trip and allowed us to celebrate our honeymoon and all this location had to offer. The staff were very friendly and informative and the owner Mick was a wealth of knowledge to help enhance and capitalize on all the opportunities Airlie Beach has to offer. Also most of the tour companies and shuttle services recognize this location and will do pick up right at the door which was awesome! Absolutely would recommend!
