Protecting Hamilton Island is one of our highest priorities. More than 70 percent of the Island remains preserved as natural bushland, even though it is the largest resort island in the Whitsundays. The Island and surrounds are home to a unique and beautiful array of flora, fauna, birds, mammals, and reptiles.

It is therefore crucial to the Island's survival that future developments are undertaken in line with our environmental credentials and philosophy, and are designed to minimise local impact while maximising our world-renowned island lifestyle.

There is currently one new development on Hamilton Island at Hidden Cove and a number of planning options and permission have been granted for some exclusive luxury developments on Dent Island. At present, no dates have been set for these developments.
