Frequently asked questions

Which area of Gainsford is best to stay in for luxury hotels?
The best area in Gainsford for luxury hotels is the Gainsford Esplanade and its immediate surroundings.

This area is the heart of Gainsford's upscale offerings, running along the beachfront with stunning ocean views. You'll find a collection of high-end resorts and boutique hotels here, many with direct beach access or just a short stroll to the sand. The Esplanade itself is a well-maintained promenade, superb for leisurely walks, and it's lined with sophisticated restaurants and exclusive shops.

Couples looking for a romantic escape will find the Esplanade particularly appealing. The hotels often feature amenities like infinity pools, private balconies overlooking the Coral Sea, and fine dining options, creating an indulgent and memorable experience. It's also well-situated for accessing boat tours to the Great Barrier Reef or enjoying a sunset cruise.

For those seeking a tranquil and exclusive experience, the northern end of the Esplanade, closer to the Gainsford Botanical Gardens, offers a slightly more secluded feel. Here, you'll find luxury properties that provide a peaceful retreat with lush tropical landscaping, while still being within easy reach of the main attractions.
How much does a luxury hotel in Gainsford cost?

This area is the heart of Gainsford's high-end offerings, situated right on the Coral Sea. It's characterised by its modern resorts and direct access to the marina, where many luxury excursions depart. You'll find a selection of upscale restaurants, boutique shops, and facilities offering exclusive services along Portside Drive and the adjacent Esplanade.

Couples looking for a romantic and sophisticated getaway will find this area particularly appealing. Many resorts here offer private balconies with sea views, fine dining experiences, and direct access to activities like private yacht charters or exclusive island tours. The proximity to the marina means you can easily arrange a day trip to the Whitsunday Islands or a private diving excursion to the Great Barrier Reef.
