About Airlie Beach

Airlie Beach is the vibrant hub of the Whitsundays and the ideal mainland base for fun and adventure in the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef. It is the perfect starting point for activities on the water and in the lush, green rainforest of the Whitsunday Coast. Soak up the laid-back, tropical atmosphere and ease yourself into holiday mode.

Stroll through the boutiques, cafes and shops of the main street; relax by the Airlie Beach lagoon and head to the Saturday morning markets that offer a quaint range of local arts and crafts, fresh fruit and vegetables and much more. At the end of an amazing day, treat yourself at one of the alfresco restaurants - from fresh local seafood at a bustling seafood cafe, hand-made tapas made from fresh local produce, to a romantic sunset dinner for two. Airlie Beach is a cosmopolitan place with a lively village atmosphere.

During the day life revolves around the marina, the shopping and the lagoon, and at night the bars, restaurants and nightclubs come to life. Visitors to our Airlie Beach accommodation can choose from cheap eats to gourmet dining experiences complemented by a vibrant café culture with plenty of live music.
