The action during Race Week on Hamilton Island is not confined to the water, according to Sotheby's International Realty.
Hamilton Island will be showcased to a global audience this month as part of the 2019 Airlie Beach Race Week: Festival of Sailing and the Hamilton Island Race Week.
However, the racing season is not just about what happens in the water, with the property market also garnering interest during the festivities.
Queensland Sotheby's International Realty Senior Sales Executive Carol Carter said the Hamilton Island Race Week brought a discerning clientele to the area, many of whom look to make a real estate investment in the region.
“Race Week sees more and more people falling in love with the area,” she said.
“Many of these are looking at investing in a holiday home or moving to the area.”
Ms Carter, who handles many of the region’s most celebrated and significant properties, said there were some stunning homes on the market during Race Week 2019, including the spectacular 7 Forest Lane home of prominent Queensland property developer Cliff Hill.

“The Forest Lane home is a perfect example of why people want to move to The Whitsundays,” she said.
“It is a magnificent home that is sophisticated yet practical, high-end yet understated, with views that are truly unsurpassed.
“Cliff and his wife Freya have created an outstanding home, and we know there will be a lot of interest in it.”
Situated near the Port of Airlie at the peak of Mount Whitsunday, 7 Forest Lane is surrounded by tropical rainforest, high above the Whitsunday township.
With sweeping 300-degree views of the sparkling Coral Sea, this home has been masterfully designed by Paul Curran, principal of PUSH Architects, in conjunction with owners Cliff and Freya.
Mr Hill, who over his 50-year building career has built more than 2,300 houses and 600 units in Queensland alone, said he never tired of creating homes people love, and Forest Lane was no exception.
“This location is so spectacular, we wanted to respect the natural elements and build a home that is quite simple really, not fussy or overdone,” he said.
“The home is sophisticated, practical and lets the location take centre stage.”
Ms Carter says the Whitsunday property market, which has seen a renewed surge in activity and sales figures in recent months, currently features a host of stunning properties.
