Great for guests
Watch those RSVPs fly back when you lock in The Whitsundays as your location . For starters , it ’ s just a 1.5-hour flight from Brisbane , meaning you can skip the long haul and still arrive somewhere with serious holiday vibes .
This all-in-one destination is also well equipped for a wedding weekend or week-long celebration thanks to loads of accommodation , plenty of boats , seaplanes , and helicopters to help everyone explore , and excellent dining options for getting the gang together . Follow the locals to some of the region ’ s gems , including Sorrento Restaurant & Bar , which serves up delicious Italian fare with glittering sea views ( ideal for sundowners ), and Fish D ’ vine and Rum Bar , where the seafood feasts are legendary .
Ready for a road trip ? Seascapes quickly give way to sugarcane fields and golddipped country sunsets when you head west . Discover the historic streetscapes , country pubs , and popular fishing spots of Proserpine ( just 20 minutes from Airlie ) and Lake Proserpine for a taste of rural life . Or roam even further inland to Collinsville , an outback town with a rich mining heritage .
From beachside brunches to sunset cruises , this is a place for spending quality time with your favourite people . Just don ’ t be surprised if your guests want to hang around for a few days beyond the official celebrations . Buddymoon anyone ?
