Explore the Island
When you stay at WAHI, you’re not only right in the heart of the Whitsundays but you’re also staying in a prime position on the island. Located adjacent to Catseye Beach, WAHI is within walking distance of all of the major activities, making it easy to get out and explore everything that the island has to offer. Or if you would rather sit back and relax, you can jump onboard the island’s free shuttle bus or travel around at your own pace with your very own golf buggy.
When you’re about and about exploring, you’ll quickly discover just how diverse the island is. It’s the sort of place where you can start your morning with a hike along one of the many scenic walking trails, swim all day in the glistening waters of Catseye Beach and wrap up the evening with a cocktail at the iconic sunset spot, One Tree Hill.

Capture Instagram-Worthy Scenery
What’s a girls trip without a few selfies and self-timer group photos? With picture-perfect views around every corner, the island makes it easier than ever to step up your Instagram game. Head to local favourite ‘Passage Peak’ to snap some amazing shots of paradise or make the most of golden hour with a sunset sail, complete with drinks and nibbles.
Plus, WAHI’s free and unlimited Wifi means you can easily keep everyone at home updated and envious of your adventures.
Shopping Spree
A holiday with the girls is the perfect excuse to treat yourself and splurge on a few of life's little luxuries. Luckily, the Marina Village is just a few minutes from WAHI and is host to a buzzing collection of boutiques to suit all styles, lifestyles and budgets.
With the picturesque backdrop of the marina next to you as you look through beautiful local art, fashion and jewellery, your afternoon will simply fly by. Plus, anything you buy will also serve as a keepsake to remember your trip by!

Taste the Island Cuisine
Now that you’ve shopped up an appetite it's time to find something delicious to eat (and a cocktail or two)!
One of our favourites, Coca Chu offers hawker-style dishes inspired by South East Asian cuisine. Or if you are in the mood for some Italian and a nice glass of wine, Romano’s is not to be missed. Alternatively, for a taste of Mexico and a great atmosphere, TAKO has a share menu perfect for groups of friends!
If you have a cook in your group, don’t forget that your accommodation at WAHI includes a fully-equipped kitchen, where you can whip up your favourite recipes with fresh ingredients from the local IGA.
