Qualia, on the Great Barrier Reef, beat hotels in exotic locations such as the Maldives and Bora Bora to score the top honour in the 2012 Conde Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards.
"This recognition by such sophisticated and well-travelled readers is truly gratifying,'' chairman of Hamilton Island Enterprises, Sandy Oatley, said.
It's the first Australian property to top the prestigious survey in its 25-year history.
Qualia scored a perfect score of 100 in all categories, including rooms, service, food, location, design and activities. It's one of only four properties ever to receive a flawless score.
The 60-pavilion resort is surrounded by Aussie bushland in the Whitsunday Islands.
