Water's Edge Resort

A landmark of refined contemporary opulence, Water's Edge Resort commands attention on the hillside of Airlie Beach, overlooking the picturesque Coral Sea and the mesmerizing Whitsunday Islands. From the moment you step into the spacious lobby, accented with exquisite Balinese decor and stunning artworks, you're enveloped in a sense of tranquility and sophistication. The gentle melodies of island breezes set the tone, guiding you through the well-appointed spaces infused with tropical elegance. The infinity swimming pools shimmer invitingly in the sunlight, while the rooftop terrace promises breathtaking sunsets, creating an extraordinary backdrop for memorable evenings. The ambience is punctuated by three infinity pools and a heated outdoor spa, where relaxation takes on new meaning. A well-appointed fitness center and complimentary bicycle rentals encourage active pursuits, while the spacious dining area doubles as a lounge, where culinary delights await your exploration.

Explore the Local Area

Situated a mere stone's throw from the Urangan Marina, this prime location places Water's Edge Resort at the heart of it all: the renowned Airlie Beach Lagoon, a manmade saltwater oasis, is steps away, and the vibrant cosmopolitan village of Airlie Beach is a quick stroll that reveals lively markets, eclectic cafes, and boutique shops. For retail therapy, the Airlie Beach Market is just 0.5 km away, while picturesque walks along the Bicentennial Walkway (2 km) showcase the natural beauty of the coastline. The resort acts as a launchpad for excursions to the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef, with transport options readily accessible-Hayman Island Resort Seaplane Base is just 10 km away, facilitating adventurous day trips into the azure waters.

Room Information

This 4.5-star resort comprises 49 spacious, fully-contained apartments, meticulously designed with modern furnishings and distinctive Balinese decor, ranging from one to three bedrooms. Each apartment offers stunning ocean views from private balconies, providing an ideal sanctuary for relaxation. The layouts include ample living spaces, featuring premium bedding, full kitchens, and en suite bathrooms with spa baths, ensuring every comfort during your stay. Among essential amenities are air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and laundry facilities, catering to guests' multi-dimensional needs.

Room Upgrades

Consider upgrading to highlight the allure of your stay: the spacious three-bedroom apartments cover approximately 1,485 sq ft, accommodating up to 7 guests with a combination of king and twin bedding options. Offering full kitchens and open-plan lounge areas, these elevated suites provide expansive ocean vistas and luxurious bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. For an enchanting stay with views of the lush gardens, opt for a two-bedroom apartment at 1,076 sq ft, equipped with en suite facilities and laundry amenities. The modern, spacious layouts invite effortless living and unparalleled comfort, epitomizing the seamless blend of luxury and practicality.

“This ideally-situated resort places you at the heart of Airlie Beach. Balinese décor and apartments with balconies, deep soaking tubs, and ocean views provide a stylish and tranquil retreat. I especially appreciate the resort's attention to family-friendly amenities, like the pools and play areas.”
