Coral Sea Marina | Resort, Whitsundays, Australia

An unmatched paradise, this archipelago of tropical islands is home to perfect beaches and brimming with wildlife.

ABOUT THE HOST PORT

A stunning collection of 74 islands in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef makes up the tropical wonder that is the Whitsundays. Host Port Airlie Beach is the gateway to these beautiful islands.

The azure waters are a magnet for ocean-lovers, with a wealth of diving, snorkelling and watersports on offer on the Great Barrier Reef and the secluded beaches scattered around the islands. Sailing is by far one of the best ways to take in the breathtaking views and find a private beach.

Airlie Beach is the starting point for exploring the iconic Heart Reef and one of the planet’s most unspoilt beaches- Whitehaven. This slice of paradise is made up almost entirely of white silica sand and is just an easy day trip from Airlie Beach.

It’s not all about the ocean- the area is also famous for beautiful tropical rainforest, and you’ll find stunning waterfalls in the Conway National Park which are well worth the hike to find. The Mt Rooper walk is worth your while: hikers will be rewarded with sweeping views across the Whitsunday Islands and beyond.

The town of Airlie Beach has plenty on offer- from vibrant markets, cool cafes and plenty of bustling bars for a sundowner or two after a day exploring.
