International Kissing Day on Hamilton Island

This Sunday, July 6, is International Kissing Day so some of the best locations in tropical paradise have been scouted for a smooch.

Originating in the UK, International Kissing Day aims to make us appreciate a kiss in its own right.

Renowned as a romantic holiday destination, Hamilton Island simply couldn't let this loved up holiday slip by unnoticed. "International Kissing Day will be a great chance to show our guests how much we love sharing our slice of paradise with them. For those on Island this Sunday, we'll be spreading the love and charging the romance with a few kiss inspired treats so make sure you keep an eye out!” said Ciaran Handy, General Manager of Hotels – Hamilton Island.

Here are Hamilton Island's top 10 places to pucker up:
