The Whitsunday Islands are a group of 74 tropical islands lying in the Coral Sea between the east coast of Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.
Imagine yourself sipping champagne as you cruise aboard a luxury launch through a channel of tropical islands towards one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Hayman Island is the most northernly island in the Whitsunday Island group. The only resort to grace the island, renowned for its elegance, service and superior location at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, Hayman has become a unique 5-star resort. It is the only Australian resort to be accepted as a member of the prestigious organization The Leading Hotels of the World.
You'll love exploring Hayman Island. 400 hectares in area and 8 km 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. A quite mountainous continental island mainly covered with native eucalypti and hoop pine, Hayman offers you a feast for your eyes on any one of many buskwalks, including 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 Island is part of a 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 sand and surrounded by coral reef and warm waters - this island will give you a holiday to remember long after you have left it.
