Getting Around

A complimentary electric golf buggy is provided to all guests staying at qualia. Driving the golf buggy at a capped speed of 10km/hr allows guests to slow down and capture the gentle, laidback pace of life on Hamilton Island. Shaded from the sun with a canopy and with headlights for night driving, they are a great way to explore Hamilton Island. To drive a buggy, guests must have a full and valid Drivers Licence.

qualia guests are met by VIP transfer when arriving at Hamilton Island’s airport or marina. VIP transfers also ensure a seamless departure. VIP transfers are available to qualia guests for island exploring at any time during the stay.
