Whether you arrive by boat at the international marina or plane at the commercial airport - it doesn't matter, because island life begins the moment you touch your feet on Hamilton Island. The swaying palms, international marina, accommodation to suit any budget, and a shopping village full of interesting boutiques, stores, amenities, galleries, fine restaurants and cafĂŠs, are all part of the lifestyle that has seduced travellers for over 30 years. Add to this the Island's rich history of sailing, international class new Hamilton Island Yacht Club the fruition of a dream by Hamilton Island owner Bob Oatley and international yachtsman Iain Murray, - brought to reality by designer Walter Barda; the new Hamilton Island Golf Course on adjacent Dent Island, fabulous homes, Qualia Resort and the annual AUDI Race Week, Australia's largest offshore sailing regatta - and you have a lifestyle that is the envy of all. Bob Oatley has been quoted as saying that his long-term dream for Hamilton Island is to transform it into a worldclass holiday destination, where people can come to see the very best Australia has to offer. Be it architecture, leisure pursuits, entertainment or hospitality. And, we are sure that with the new Yacht Club - already being described as the Opera House of the Whitsundays; a world-class Golf Club with panoramic views from every tee, and the stylish Luxury Yacht Club Villas already wooing purchasers - the dream is already well and truly coming to fruition. The Luxury yacht Club Villas complement the unique nautical location and lifestyle of Hamilton Island. The standalone villas span over three or four storeys, each capturing magnificent vistas over Dent Passage to the Whitsunday Islands from large outdoor terraces and balconies on each level. Drawing on natural elements from the environment, including shells, petals, marine and bird life, Barda's signature style of organic forms and materials reflects the beauty of the spectacular landscape. The villas feature quality timbers and natural stone combined with a palette of muted tones to echo the natural surroundings. Detailed carved ceilings; open-plan living and dining areas, sliding glass doors and quality fittings all add to the overall effect. Walter Barda's passion for boat building shines through each property, with his use of natural timbers in all possible applications, natural stone and subtle colour accents. With the addition of natural landscaping carried out by awardwinning Australian landscape designer (and Oprah Winfrey favourite) Jamie Durie, Barda has ensured the picture perfect homes are sympathetic to their surroundings. These properties perfectly mirror the vision held by Bob Oatley in showcasing the island to the highest degree. Along with the prestigious address of Hamilton Island Yacht Club Villas, owners also receive a selection of other privileges afforded by Hamilton Island - exclusive membership to Hamilton Island Yacht Club, the iconic hub of boating on the Great Barrier Reef; priority access to marina berthing; the convenience of the Island Concierge Service and a wide range of other services befitting such a prestigious address. This new prestige enclave offers purchasers an idyllic and secluded setting sitting proudly above the quiet blue passage and far away from the pressures of city living.
