Fans of an active holiday will be satisfied to see Queensland’s ability to indulge an outdoor pursuit or two. Hike your way, walking the network of bushwalking trails that scatter the state’s impressive collection of national parks. Or perhaps the coastline is calling - a lengthy expanse of ocean tempting for any swimmer or sailor.
Holistic holidays are just as plentiful in Queensland, with a gathering of wellness retreats residing on both the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast Hinterland. But indulgence doesn’t have to end there - well-regarded spas are just as common, scattered from top to toe, from the illustrious qualia on Hamilton Island, to southern resident spaQ at QT Gold Coast.
But nourishment for both body and soul is important here, with the state’s health and wellbeing approach extending to dining. Health-conscious eating synonymous with our fresh, breezy lifestyle has been embraced from Cairns to Coolangatta, with restaurant and café menus a nourishing celebration of seasonal, local produce, and increasingly accommodating of dietary requirements.
