Accommodation on the cheaper side is scattered throughout Hamilton Island, with most being located on the northern or central ends of the island.
Although there are stays available for under $300 a night, Hamilton Island is not the most budget-friendly destination. Keep in mind that on average, one night on the island costs around $550. The great news is, the following accommodation options sit on the lower end of the scale but still offer guests the full Hamilton Island experience. Enjoy large outdoor spaces with the Three Bedroom Villa or Bella Vista, as well as those famous ocean views that redefine paradise from all three stays.

We've found that the higher-end stays are situated in the northern part of the island, close to the marina.
You'll find all three of these stays are within walking distance of the island's hotspots, have high levels of privacy and their own balconies/decks. The Woodland and Kaylan homes host large outdoor entertaining areas with dining space and BBQs. They'll also have you waking up to uninterrupted ocean views with multiple bedrooms. During your stay you'll have access to at least one free buggy or airport transfers.

Stayz
Hamilton Island doesn't host pet-friendly accommodation directly on the island. However, there are stays located in Airlie Beach or Jubilee Pocket that welcome your furry friends.
The area is great for keeping your pets active, with off-leash areas including Shingley Beach (eastern end), Galbraith Park, Cannonvale Beach (eastern end) and Bicentennial Park. Caravan parks such as BIG4 and motor lodges allow pets for an extra charge. For those of you after a home with a backyard, we suggest the Whitsunday Palms as there is a large, grassed area as well as high fences to close off the property.
