With school holidays in January, this is always a popular time to reserve a Hamilton Island Holiday Home, as the island also offers plenty of great activities for little ones. If you’re looking for a couples’ escape, February and March are a little quieter. This is a tropical time of year in Queensland and it’s not unusual to have showers during the day. However, most days are sunny and hot.

May and June is ideal for couples, honeymooners, special occasion groups, conferences and weddings, as the everyday weather temperatures are less variable.

Spring starts early in Queensland and in August we have clear, beautiful breezy weather.

December is a fun month and there are often great festive season celebrations planned around the island.
