THE ISLAND
 Hayman
is the most northern island in the Whitsunday Island group.
Renowned for its elegance, service and superior location in
the Great Barrier Reef, Hayman is a unique 5-star resort.
It is the only Australian island to be accepted as a member
of the prestigious organisation ·The Leading Hotels
of the World·.
You'll love exploring Hayman. 400 hectares in area and 8 kilometres
in circumference, its tallest peak stands 250 metres above
sea level. Other islands and the mainland can be seen from
Hayman and are accessible by boat or yacht. Hayman offers
a feast for your eyes on any one of the many bushwalks into
the rugged natural landscape and takes you to idyllic deserted
beaches. A magnificent range of flora, fauna and marine life
is found in this beautiful environment, all of which is protected
against damage or removal, as Hayman is within the Great Barrier
Reef Marine Park. Beyond the beach lies a coral reef, 800
metres wide, which fronts the southern half of the island.
The reef becomes exposed at low tide and is covered by up
to 4 metres of water at high tide. Abounding in lush, tropical
growth, encircled with white sandy beaches and surrounded
by coral reefs and warm waters, this island will give you
a holiday to remember long after you have left it.

THE RESORT

Hayman is a resort like no other. Situated around a crescent-shaped,
white, sandy bay on the south western side, the resort is
the only facility on the island. The buildings have been designed
to blend in with the natural beauty of the surroundings. Throughout
the resort, shady ponds and gentle waterfalls thread their
way among beautiful gardens, spacious walkways and open-air
lanais. Come and bask in Hayman's tropical climate, with its
warm days and relaxed atmosphere. Throughout summer the weather
becomes warm and sultry, with January traditionally being
the warmest month. You may need a light jacket or sweater
for the evenings in winter, especially in July, which is traditionally
the coolest month. With its superb accommodation, restaurants
and bars, gardens and pools, no part of the resort is taller
than four stories and most guest rooms, restaurants and other
public areas are situated in two wings. Romance and pleasure
await you on Hayman. At night, your private balcony becomes
the setting for an intimate candlelight dinner. Enjoy superb
service, fine food and music in Hayman's outstanding international
restaurants. During the day, a relaxed, casual mood is enjoyed,
so beachwear is welcomed at The Beach Pavilion and by the
pools. Hayman's evening restaurants invite smart, casual dress.
A jacket is required for gentlemen in La Fontaine. Hayman
offers diverse meeting facilities, a chapel for weddings or
the reaffirmation of vows and christenings, a health retreat,
beauty salon and children's activities centre. The Marine
Centre operates Reef cruises, fishing, a PADI-accredited Dive
Centre, helicopter and seaplane flights. Island activities
include cultural and dining tours and extensive sporting options. |
