The most stunning exclusive resort where the staff genuinely care about your experience. The meals were gourmet and generous in serving size, rooms were kept immaculate, and views were incredible. The infinitely pool allowed us to watch the sealift and was captivating. The staff organised a stellar Proposal and spared no expense. This place is truly special, highly recommend.
Elysian Luxury Eco Island retreat was absolutely Amazing! The property was beautiful with all elements for our stay. The staff were amazing and very friendly they provided anything we asked them with out hesitate.
All the food was delicious. There is activities to do in the island or outside the island.
The team were great - very friendly and attentive. The vibe of the resort is lovely - small and intimate with amazing food through breakfast/lunch/dinner. Their tour to whitsundays is worth every penny and they cater for everything to make it enjoyable and comfortable. Would highly recommend!
Can’t say enough good things about this resort! Book it and pay for the short helicopter ride to the resort from the Hamilton Island airport…worth the expense! Resort will arrange the flight for you and will assist with luggage storage. Resort staff was amazing, meals were delicious, nice wine selection. Absolutely no complaints about our 3 night stay other than it wasn’t long enough. Do take bug spray as the Midge bites are no joke.
We absolutely loved our short-stay (too short) at Elysian. Everything was just perfect. The private island is so peaceful and tranquil. The activities available are plentiful and nature oriented. The food is just divine - every meal was beautifully prepared with the freshest ingredients and meant we did not have to worry about a thing. The cherry on top is the service - each staff member (Alice, Emily, and Nathan in particular) was delightful and attentive, and would do everything in their power to make our stay even more special. We cannot recommend Elysian more highly - we will definitely be coming back!
Superb property in stunning location. Staff were amazing. Villas lovely. Only issue was getting there from airport. Expedia web site said 18 min drive implying you could get a taxi. But only options were helicopter or boat, and both were expensive and in addition to the holiday cost.
Our stay here was incredible.
Romantic and relaxing. This place offers a little slice of paradise to unwind in.
The location is secluded and spectacular.
(Note you do need to book a transfer from Hamilton Island Airport, either two boats or via a 5 min helicopter flight - which is a lovely way to see the islands!)
The staff are all fantastic, a big thank you to Alice and the entire team. They are caring, attentive (no request was too hard) whilst ensuring you also have your space.
Wonderful stay at the Elysian. Everything was just perfect! From the amazing helicopter ride from the airport we couldn’t have asked for a more hospitable environment. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay as memorable as possible. The chefs also do a great job making delicious meals and every meal is different. This is all inclusive with a cherry on top. The bedrooms are huge, have super comfy beds, and all have that breathtaking view of the calm sea. We didn’t want to leave. We will be back!
Lily and Charlie are fanatic staff members would highly recommend staying here!
Top job to the chief meals were wonderful.
We will be back until then please take care.
11/10 this place is amazing! Of all the things in such an idyllic, serene, relaxing, secluded and beautiful place - the food was our highlight! Our activities focused around getting back for meals! Friendly and welcoming staff provided great service without being overbearing. We truly switched off for a few days and it was worth every cent.
Perfect little spot of heaven. The staff is absolutely wonderful and personable. They attend to everything. The food is delicious, the spa is great, and the rooms are beautiful, very clean, and comfortable. 💯 would never leave this resort if i could.
The place was very relaxing. Staff went out of the way to make you feel special. Could not have asked for better service. Food was fantastic. Room were top quality. Would love to go back.
A very relaxed week spent here. Food was great, staff friendly and attended to our every need. We really felt spoiled and pampered. Our stay was in july and the pool was too cold for swimming as was the ocean ( for me )
Daily yoga, walks on the island and excursions filled our time. A must see is Whitehaven beach. A fantastic week.
The resort was very secluded, tucked away in a cove on Long Island with only 10 adult
couples to be at the resort. This resort is remote and that made it special.
The resort was clean and tidy with our rooms cleaned daily.
All the staff were really friendly and helpful.
The Yoga in the morning and afternoon was really good and the instructor was great she took her time to show us the moves needed.
The food was really tasty, the chief did great job.
Bar tender/s were quite chatty and friendly. keep that Licor 43 going :)_
There was enough to do if i need an activity with SUPs, kayaks, Chiliboats, swimming pool to float around on and a few walks can be done.
The helicopter flight was really cool way to get to the resort.
The manager of the resort was very friendly and helpful.
I would highly recommend the resort for a getaway.
Thank you, Elysian Resort and all staff, for a great relaxing 3 night stay.
