InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef

Hotels Own Introduction

a private island escape in the heart of the reef
Tucked within the world-famous Great Barrier Reef, InterContinental Hayman Island offers an exclusive retreat with 182 refined guest rooms, suites, and villas. The resort unfolds across four distinct wings—Pool, Lagoon, Beach, and Pavilion—each seamlessly integrated with lush tropical gardens, serene swimming pools, and sweeping views of the Coral Sea. Perched above it all, four private Hayman Residences crown the island’s hilltop, offering the ultimate in seclusion and luxury.

your journey begins before you arrive
Getting to Hayman Island is part of the adventure. After landing at Hamilton Island Airport via a direct flight from one of Australia’s major cities, continue your journey across the turquoise Whitsundays by luxury boat, helicopter, or private charter. The transition from urban pace to island calm is breathtaking.

experiences that connect you to place
On Hayman Island, every activity invites a deeper connection with the natural world. Take in a bird’s-eye view of Heart Reef by helicopter, leave footprints on the white sands of Whitehaven Beach, share a sunset picnic on Blue Pearl Bay, or surrender to stillness with a spa treatment in a rainforest cabana. From ocean adventures to quiet moments of reflection, each experience feels distinctly of the island.

flavour, wherever you are
Dining on Hayman Island is diverse, creative, and shaped by its setting. Choose from five unique venues: Pacific for fresh, sunrise breakfasts; Amici for rustic Italian fare; Aqua for seafood served poolside; Bam Bam for bold Pan-Asian flavors beside the Infinity Pool; and Grove Boutique & Café for light bites and locally inspired treats. For something extra special, explore curated private dining options—from barefoot dinners on the beach to sunset feasts on a nearby isle.
