qualia has announced a new collaboration with Fluidform, the internationally acclaimed movement practice founded by Kirsten King, bringing a guest-led wellness experience to the private sanctuary of Hamilton Island’s luxury resort, in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.
The self-guided series features 3-day qualia Reset, 5-day qualia Recharge and 7-day qualia Transformation itineraries, created by King specifically for qualia guests. Each program offers guests a restorative way to move and recover, progressing through post-flight recovery, strength, restoration, and mindful movement at a pace entirely their own.
The experience is exclusively available to qualia guests via their smartphone, with the option to stream sessions to their in-room television, offering the flexibility to move through the program in the privacy of their pavilion, or closer to nature, whether amid the resort’s tropical gardens, or in a quiet corner of Pebble Beach with the Coral Sea as a backdrop. As part of the itineraries, King recommends pairing each session with island walks, time on the water and spa treatments, adding gentle structure to movement and rest across a stay.
Rebecca Hamey, General Manager at qualia, said the collaboration is a natural fit for the resort, complementing qualia’s broader approach to personalised wellbeing and quiet luxury.
“We are delighted to introduce Fluidform at qualia as a new addition to our wellness offering. Our guests do not come to qualia for a schedule; they come to escape one. Our collaboration with Kirsten King and Fluidform reflects that spirit, free of scheduled classes so each guest can shape their stay exactly as they choose. It’s exactly what qualia offers: deeply personalised experiences, be it wellness, dining or connection with the island and the heart of the reef.”
King said the collaboration reflects a broader shift in how guests want to experience wellness when travelling.
“Over the past decade we’ve seen a fundamental change in how people want to experience wellness.
We wanted to create an experience that allows guests to truly slow down, reconnect with themselves and return home feeling stronger, more balanced, and deeply restored. True luxury is not simply having access to wellness. It is having the freedom to experience it on your own time, in your own space, without compromise.
Together with qualia, we have designed a complete movement journey that follows the rhythm of travel itself, from arriving after a flight and releasing tension, to rebuilding strength, restoring balance, and embracing moments of mindfulness throughout your stay. It is a holistic experience that complements every part of the qualia journey and allows guests to return home feeling physically and mentally renewed.”
The Fluidform collaboration will debut at qualia during Hamilton Island Race Week 2026, before continuing as a permanent offering exclusive to qualia guests.
