Make a splash at these stunning hotel and resort pools in Queensland
There are many factors that send a hotel or resort straight to the top of travellers’ wish lists, but in Queensland, one of the most important is the pool.
Check-in to dive in at these hotels and resorts with these stunning pools in Queensland.[vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”]
#1 – Orpheus Island Lodge
Pack your reef-safe sunscreen for a date with arguably the best infinity pool on the Great Barrier Reef. Backed by more than 1000 hectares of national park, this 25 x 13-metre pool mirrors the Coral Sea. What makes it so coveted is there will only ever be a handful of others on the island lucky enough to share it so no need to make that mad dash to save yourself a sunlounger every morning. With a maximum of 28 guests on the island, poolside cocktails taste even sweeter at this all-inclusive island.
Discover Orpheus Island Lodge.

#2 – Mt Mulligan Lodge
When calling to mind other stunning pools in Queensland, you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re all set by the beach. But head west of Cairns to Ngarrabullgan (Mount Mulligan) and you’ll discover the setting is as show-stopping as the infinity pool itself at this outback luxury lodge. Facing a weir in the shadow of Ngarrabullgan’s eastern flank, watch others paddleboard, kayak or even fish for barramundi while you sip Champagne on your sunlounger.
Explore Mt Mulligan Lodge.

#3 – The Ville Resort-Casino
Framed by palm trees and reaching into the Coral Sea with Magnetic Island beyond, the infinity pool at The Ville Resort-Casino in Townsville has serious Palm Springs vibes. Between the swim-up cocktail bar and private cabanas – and the fact that non-hotel guests can access it all with a Pool Day Pass – it’s not hard to see why this is one of the most stunning pools in Queensland.

#4 – The Calile
Probably the most recognisable hotel pool in Brisbane, The Calile pool game is strong. Beyond the flood of social content, though, this is a sweet spot to dip in and out of after a day of shopping on James Street, and order poolside bites from onsite Greek restaurant, Hellenika.
