Experience immersive luxury in the Great Barrier Reef. Why not learn more about Hayman Island’s rich history, before delving into the resort’s sustainability journey. Take a virtual tour before you contact the booking team.
Nestled at the northernmost point of Australia’s Whitsunday archipelago, Hayman Island unlocks the heart of the Great Barrier Reef by placing you moments away from Langford Island, Bali Hai, Blue Pearl Bay and Hook Island.
Australia’s most iconic private island resort has a rich 70-year history. In 1947, aviation pioneer Reginald Ansett acquired Hayman Island and opened Royal Hayman Hotel in 1950. From reports, the island soon earned its place in the heart of Australian holidaymakers as well as international jetsetters. Explore the island’s journey from chugging trains meeting guests by the marina to a recent $135 million redevelopment.
There’s even a story surrounding their sustainability passage. Since its launch in July 2019, InterContinental Hayman Island Resort’s journey has been intrinsically linked to its exquisite surrounds and the safeguarding and protection of these is at the forefront of General Manager Arpad Romandy’s sustainability commitment.
