The stay

What to know about this stay.

Having made its debut on the luxury world stage in July 2019, InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef is home to a new era of immersive luxury in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef. Nestled at the northernmost point of Australia’s Whitsunday archipelago, Australia's most iconic private island resort presents 182 rooms, suites, villas, pavilions and residences along with five restaurants and bars. From the moment you step off your helicopter, luxury catamaran or private charter, you will discover an idyllic destination of privacy and destination-inspired activity; where exploring the Great Barrier Reef, basking in private pools, sailing the Coral Sea and Elemis-infused spa treatments are only the beginning.

Commanding magnificent views south across the Coral Sea, Hayman Island is perfectly positioned on a two-kilometer crescent-shaped stretch of stunning white sand beach. It enjoys an ideal climate year-round: May– October (Winter/Spring) average temperature of 25°C/77°F, November–April (Summer/Autumn) average temperature of 31°C/88°F.
