In the heart of Australia’s tropical Whitsundays, qualia exudes Australian contemporary coastal style. Indulgences of the most sophisticated kind, combined with indulgent sensory pleasures and intuitive service provide a relaxing and rejuvenating adults-only retreat.
At qualia, every detail has been meticulously considered to relax the mind and indulge the senses.
Set amongst private tropical gardens and surrounded by the jewels of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, qualia is the invitation to enjoy it all or simply enjoy doing nothing at all. Guided snorkelling trips, scuba diving day trips and cruises to the outer Great Barrier Reef; sailing excursions, fishing charters and scenic flights; a romantic picnic on Whitehaven Beach, a hit of golf on neighbouring Dent Island or the signature Journey to the Heart heli to a private pontoon experience are all accessible from this quintessential Australian luxury lodge.
Tucked away amongst the tropical landscaping, 60 luxurious contemporary accommodation pavilions each have a private sundeck, some also with their own infinity-edge plunge pool enjoying Coral Sea views. The two-bedroom Beach House also has a 10-person dining area, its own 12 metre infinity pool and an expansive entertaining deck; whilst the three-bedroom Residence offers the ultimate luxury private-villa experience.
Two on-site restaurants offer the freshest local produce and allow guests to choose between fine dining or a more casual experience. Guests can also enjoy the resort pool overlooking qualia’s private beach, a well-equipped gym and a well-stocked library of books and games, pampering treatments at the luxurious day spa, yoga classes and a collection of interactive culinary experiences, as well as kayaks, catamarans and paddleboards to explore nearby secluded beaches.

many many many thanks!!!!!!"
Planning a 7 week trip is daunting enough without the complications of COVID cancellations, rebookings, and closures. Yet every connection, every transportation detail, every accommodation, every meal, everything was flawless.
We can't thank Southern Crossings enough for making this trip all, and more, than we had imagined. You allowed us to see the best of your countries: the people, the beauty, the culture. Five stars, a blue ribbon, and a gold medal to everyone at Southern Crossings!"
