5 Reasons to Add Hayman Island to Your Travel Bucket List
Beautiful Hayman Island
Australia is no stranger to beautiful stretches of sand, with some of the best beaches in the world located on its magnificent coastline. But there’s something about the impossibly white sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters of Hayman Island in tropical Queensland that give this destination the edge over neighbouring islands. Is it the privacy? The luxury? All of that and more?! Read on for five reasons why Hayman Island deserves a solid spot firmly at the top of your travel bucket list.
It’s your very own private island
There aren’t too many places where you can feel as though you’re on your very own private tropical island, but Hayman is one of them. As soon as you arrive on Hayman Island, you immediately feel as though everything – from the sun, the sea, to the pools and suites – is designed and provided just for you. The resort staff, who have all been trained in expert service, are ready and waiting to jump at your every whim or desire so you can want for nothing.
Hayman Island feels secluded and private, without being isolated. Though there are other people at the resort, the spaces are never crowded; you’ll never be stuck in a queue for the bar and, with a handful of restaurants and bars to choose from, you’re very unlikely to come across a rowdy guest who may ruin your holiday.
Experience luxury at its finest
Hayman Island recently underwent an $80 million dollar and refurbishment, and it’s not hard to see where each and every one of those dollars went. One&Only Hayman Island, the private island resort, has spared no expense. Rolled towels adorn each of the sun beds that surround the pristine, sparkling pools; a massage table floats in the ocean, allowing you to enjoy your massage in the most relaxing way possible; and you can quite literally spoil yourself with a manicure at Mani: Pedi Cure studio by Bastien Gonzalez, and a new look at the hair and beauty salon.
Your spacious and lavish suite is dotted with modern furnishings and fineries, all with the consistent reminder to relax and spend a little you-time. There are even family rooms available, so you can enjoy the privacy of your own room while the little ones sleep next door.
Enjoy 5 star dining with a 5 star view
There are seven restaurants and bars on Hayman Island, all of which pride themselves on consistently delicious food and impeccable service. You can choose from the resort’s newest venue Aquazure, the homemade Italian tastes of Amici, the pan-Asian selections from Bamboo and the seasonal menu of Pacific, with panoramic views of the Whitsunday archipelago.
The crown jewel of the restaurant scene on Hayman Island is Fire, the resort’s signature restaurant.
The fine dining experience offers modern Australian cuisine made from the most premium produce.
If lounging on a well-positioned sun bed is not your style, there’s still plenty else to do on Hayman Island. With four tennis courts, a squash court and a basketball court, sports fans can keep active and moving. For the shopoholics, you can find boutique shopping for the sophisticated shopper.
There are also excursions available for those who want to see the Great Barrier Reef from a helicopter, or you can take advantage of the best fishing spots.
Or, for those travellers with cash to burn, take a private charter to your desired location.
In addition to everything designed for the adults, there’s are designated kids entertainment, including the Kids Club for 4-11 year olds, and Teens Club for those aged 12-17. The aim is to have fun, make new friends and – for parents – get the kids out of your hair so you can spend the day sipping cocktails or enjoying a romantic picnic on the beach. There are also babysitting services available.
The moment you set eyes on the wonder of the world below you, you’ll realise just how special Hayman Island is. Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, or taking a scuba diving trip, you can take in the colourful coral, the tropical fish, manta rays, turtles and the occasional whale. The underwater wonderland of the reef is sure to take your breath away and leave you with a true sense of wonder.
If you’re up for the hike, you can snorkel off the beach at Blue Pearl Bay, which is found over the hill and on the other side of the island.
It’s the perfect way to see the wild and spectacular displays of nature that can only be found – and admired – along the Great Barrier Reef.
Hiking, swimming, sunning and eating, in a luxury setting with five-star service: what more could you want out of an island holiday?!
