Dining & Nightlife

Gourmet seafood is a Whitsundays specialtyDining at any of the popular island or coast resorts and restaurants is an experience you won’t forget. Combining gorgeous views with mouth watering flavours is always a winning holiday formula and you’ll want to keep indulging. There is no shortage of choice of restaurants in Airlie Beach, many of which also feature wine bars, live music and entertainment to keep you partying all night. The central dining hub is on the Esplanade, overlooking Airlie Beach and Pioneer Bay.

Proserpine is more laid back, with cafe and pub style meals matched with country hospitality to provide a great night out. Bowen also has a good range of restaurants and pubs. Not to be missed are the spectacular views from the cafe atop Flagstaff Hill.

All of the Whitsunday island resorts have different dining experiences, from five star total indulgence, to master class-style learning experiences to fully inclusive buffet meals.

If you’re not too full after dinner, the nightlife of Airlie Beach is renowned and can be enjoyed on any night of the week. Start at a restaurant’s wine (or rum) bar, move onto a backpackers bar, Irish pub or dance the night away in the famous nightclubs. The Whitsunday island resorts also often have live music or entertainment to party the night away.

There are dozens of restaurants, bars & nightlife options to choose from, but here are a few to whet your appetite...
