Hamilton Island Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Hamilton Island Airport is a few minutes from the marina and the resort village: there are no taxis or scheduled buses, but rental golf carts and free shuttles organised by the accommodations themselves, which often also include the return transfer to the airport. The whole island is covered this way, in just a few minutes, so the choice of accommodation depends more on the type of holiday than on the distance from the airport: those seeking relaxation and quiet should go for Catseye Beach, those who want restaurants and evening life stay close to the marina.
