Hayman is Australia's most celebrated private island destination. Hayman Island is an award-winning five-star resort complemented by a warm and sincere community of 500 employees, within a breathtaking natural environment.

Hayman Island

Hayman is a continental island of some 726 acres. The resort is located on the southerly shore fronted by a sweeping sandy beach and surrounded by 34 acresof lush tropical gardens. Beyond the beach lies an 800 metre wide sand flat with fringing coral reef that is exposed at low tide revealing interesting coral formations and an array of marine life.

Guests may catch sight of Hayman's colony of Proserpine Rock Wallabies and, during an island walk, experience natural bushland and Australian flora and fauna. Hayman is also home to families of swans and ducks who reside in the resort's lagoons. All are integrated into a beautiful landscape, which is a blend of manicured gardens meandering throughout the resort and rugged bushland into which guests can venture on a fascinating island walk to scenic lookouts and exquisite beaches.

The Resort

Surrounded by idyllic coral fringed beaches and lapping the waters of the Coral Sea, on the south-western side of the island, Hayman offers 244 guest rooms, suites, penthouses and a beach villa. The accommodation, restaurants, guest service areas, marine facilities and operational plant have been designed to blend in with the natural beauty of the surroundings. No part of the resort is higher than four stories and throughout, shady ponds and gentle waterfalls thread their way among beautiful gardens, spacious walkways and open-air lanais.

Access

The most convenient way of traveling to Hayman is via Great Barrier Reef Airport (Hamilton Island) where Hayman's launches, seaplanes and helicopters connect with all incoming and outgoing commercial flights. A member of the Hayman team greets guests on arrival at Great Barrier Reef Airport and arranges for the transfer of guest luggage from flights to the connecting launch, seaplane and helicopter transfers to Hayman. On arrival at Hayman, the luggage will be delivered directly to the guest room, suite, villa or penthouse.

Accommodations

The resort consists of 244 beautifully appointed rooms, suites, penthouses and a villa, situated in the Pool, Palm, Lagoon and Beach Wings, all featuring private terraces or balconies.

The Pool Wing, comprising Pool Superior and Deluxe rooms and Pool Suites, overlooks the famous Hayman Pool and tropical gardens. Level 3 also offers views out to the Coral Sea and neighbouring Hook Island. This wing is ideal for guests wishing to be close to and enjoy views of the pool.
