Luxury Holidays in Queensland

Luxury holidays along Australia’s Sunshine and Gold Coasts

The vibrant cities of Brisbane and Cairns are the starting points for many adventures in glorious Queensland. Here, luxurious hotels and first-class restaurants exist beside majestic coastal scenery.

Stretching north and south of Brisbane respectively, the Sunshine and Gold Coasts bring pristine beaches and sweeping bays. The Great Barrier Reef stretches along Queensland’s coast with excellent diving, snorkelling and leisurely boat tours across the world’s largest and most complex reef.

Of the many secluded islands scattered throughout the aquamarine sea, the Whitsundays are surely the most dazzling – offering superb sailing waterways and exclusive, romantic retreats under a blanket of rich blue sky.
