Hayman Great Barrier Reef - Hayman Island, Australia - 5 Star Luxury Resort

Hayman Island, Great Barrier Reef Australia
» RATES & AVAILABILITY   » MAP

ROOMS & SUITES: 210


Hayman Island, in the Whitsunday Islands of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, is located in one of the world's most peaceful natural settings, providing the ideal backdrop for pampering, relaxation and revitalizing of mind, body and soul.


(This island is intended for those seeking rest and relaxation, not nightlife.)

Transfers to the island are by sleek launch, helicopter or seaplane. We recommend that you arrive on the resort's yacht and depart by helicopter or seaplane or vice versa, to have the privilege of both experiences.

Lagoon, Pool, Beach Garden, or Beachfront Suites, are all beautifully appointed and overlook different areas of the resort. Penthouse Suites are individually styled in Japanese, Italian Palazzo, Moroccan or French Provincial decor. For even greater privacy, the Beach Villa has a private Balinese-style courtyard, walled gardens, a private infinity plunge pool, and personalized concierge service.

The resort boasts four restaurants with unique culinary experiences -- formal, modern French cuisine at La Fontaine; Italian and Mediterranean cuisine at rustic La Trattoria; Asian dishes at the Oriental; and contemporary Australian at Azure. (Note: not all restaurants are open every night)

One of the largest pools in the Southern Hemisphere. An impressive lineup of activities is available. Spa Chakra Hayman, a L'Insitut de Guerlain affiliate, integrates conventional and holistic methods in individually tailored treatments, including underwater meditation and beachfront massage.
