Welcome

Sunday. A day that takes forever to arrive and is over far too soon. But it’s that fleeting feeling that makes Sunday so special.

We’ve taken everything that makes Sunday the best day of the week and turned it into every day of the week. Welcome to The Sundays, a boutique escape in Australia's Whitsundays in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Created with families in mind, a getaway designed to help you relax, reconnect and recharge with those who matter most. Kick back a little further, pull loved ones a little closer, soak up every ray and savour every moment. While your time here may not last forever, the feeling it inspires will.

The Sundays is now open for bookings, with stays available from April, 2025. 
Be among the first to experience our new boutique escape and its waters-edge restaurant, led by the award-winning culinary duo Josh and Julie Niland.

Our Hotel

A new boutique escape in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef

Nestled amongst the palms at the northern end of Catseye Beach, The Sundays captures the essence of Hamilton Island’s tropical surroundings. It’s a place where warm oceans meet chilled brunches, and Monday never arrives. It’s a world away just a few hours away from Australia’s east coast – with daily direct flights from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and easy boat transfers from the Queensland mainland.

    If you're going to do nothing, do it right

    Pack a lot of quality time into a little time

    For those wanting a little more action on their escape, The Sundays has you sorted: splash out with complimentary access to water sports including stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and catamarans on Catseye Beach; or tee-off at Hamilton Island Golf Club - a bucket-list course on its own private island. And if that’s not enough, take adventures to new heights with unforgettable helicopter voyages to discover the best of the Great Barrier Reef – the world-famous Whitehaven Beach or iconic Heart Reef are not far away.
