Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island lives in my memory as luxury with a sense of humour. Qualia was all polished edges, still water and impossible views, but what stayed with me was the delicious absurdity of trying to be elegant while shrieking over a private plunge pool, navigating golf buggies in the dark and discovering that even the most serene island escape can still make room for appetite, mischief and one very judgemental cockatoo.
