Gateway to the Reef and Whitsundays, Airlie Beach is benefiting from massive investment and development that will elevate the region to a sophisticated, tropical destination in its own right, while maintaining the superb natural assets that appeal to sailors, divers, tourists and residents alike.

Tourism Queensland statistics show that visitors to the Whitsundays spend more than in any other destination in the state, a boon to local businesses and the broader community, and an indication of the many and varied pastimes that the region offers.

Located 20°4'S and 148°5'E and boasting easy access to the Reef or rainforest, Airlie Beach has the good fortune to bask in what must surely be the best climate in the world! Water temperatures range from 23°C in winter to 30°C in summer and the islands, bays and attractions of this majestic stretch of coast are the stuff of boating and leisure fantasy.

Nestled on the palm-lined waterfront on the shores of the Coral Sea, Whisper Bay is nothing short of idyllic. Residents and visitors to this 5-star haven at the northern end of Airlie Beach will enjoy unrivalled access to the marina-lifestyle, just a stroll to the main village, close to Conway National Park and a mere skip across to Hamilton Island, Whitehaven Beach and the jewels of the Whitsunday group.



Whisper Bay is the last deepwater-front resort in the area, featuring a diversity of apartments, 2 and 3 level villas + Penthouses. Another rarity is the fact that Whisper Bay is a level stroll to the many local delights.



The latest news from Whisper Bay is that the project is on track for its 17 October completion. A special launch event is scheduled to celebrate the culmination of the vision, foresight and collaboration of talent that coalesce in Whisper Bay.

For interested parties, the Whisper Bay display apartment is open for inspection by appointment. From its vantage point on the second floor, this three-bedroom plus study, two and a half bathroom apartment boasts uninterrupted Coral Sea views and is priced at $2.6m.



Interiors are sumptuous and contemporary, custom-designed by the inspired team at Coco Republic. In the likely event you fall in love with the furnishings, these packages are available for purchase.

Whisper Bay will soon to announce the appointment of the luxury resort management group responsible for the day to day operations and maintaining the superlative service owners and visitors will come to expect. The shortlist includes some of the most-highly respected spa resort management groups in the world.

The Rory F O’Brien Development Group (developers of Whisper Bay), proud exponents of the region and keen yachties, will be competing in the Airlie Beach Regatta in their Bavarian 40ft yacht, Capricorn. More at www.airliebeachraceweek.com.au
