A new destination spa within Australia’s Qualia resort, located on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, is to open at the end of August.

Designed by Queensland architect Chris Beckingham, the destination resort and spa are owned by Bob Oatley and his family.

Guests will arrive at Port Cochere and enter the spa via a walkway lined with reflecting pools. Spa Qualia has six rooms including two double treatment areas with their own sunken Roman bath and outdoor shower.

The spa boasts two signature treatments – Bularri Yarrul, meaning warm stone in the Kamilaroi indigenous language, and Anoint, which uses a range of 10 hand-blended Australian essential oils.

The treatment menu uses two international organic product ranges – Phyts from France and Eminence from Hungary.

The luxury resort will feature a total of 60 one-bedroom pavilions, accessible only to the resort’s guests.
