Hamilton Island is full of exquisite places to eat, drink and watch sun go down. But if we had to pick our all-time favourite, the choice is easy.

Put simply, nothing beats One Tree Hill.


Nestled atop Hamilton Island’s renowned hilltop lookout, One Tree Hill offers lunchtime coffee or early evening cocktails to accompany legendary Whitsunday views. It’s easy to see why this spot is so popular, and you can lap it all in pure comfort with their abundance of outside, sheltered seating.


For a quick drink, there’s no better place. Their small yet considered range of wines, beers, and cocktails offer the perfect chance to wet your whistle in what we consider to be one of the best bars in the world. While their menu pairs effortlessly, featuring delicious share plates and snacks including warm Turkish bread with a selection of dips and a Charcuterie board you’ll absolutely love.
While the reviews and photos speak for themselves, you really need to see (and experience it) for yourself to understand the true magic of the place.

Walking there from your holiday apartment is possible, but it’s a bit of a hike. So, we suggest catching the popular shuttle bus direct from the Whitsunday Apartments to the top.
