There’s something about Hamilton Island that lingers long after you’ve left. It’s more than the turquoise water or the way the sunsets hit Catseye Beach, it’s how the island feels. Every time I visit, I leave with new stories, new favourites, and a deeper appreciation for its laid-back luxury. It’s a different experience, every time.
This past June, I returned for a short stay at The Sundays, a stunning boutique newcomer that felt instantly personal. With deep soaking tubs, lush beds, and handpicked staff who made me feel truly welcome, it was one of those places you don’t want to leave.
What stood out most? The satay chicken skewers with macadamia sauce and mudcrab pie at Catseye Pool Club, where the menus are created by acclaimed culinary duo Josh and Julie Niland. I shared the meal with a small group and honestly, I’d fly back just for that sauce. It was that good.
Hamilton Island gives you options. You can fill your days with reef swims, paddle boarding, and heli rides to Whitehaven Beach or you can do absolutely nothing and still feel like you made the right choice.
For a bit of everything, I always recommend:
