Hayman Island

Finished our Whitsundays trip from Hamilton Island back to Hayman Island for 5 nights. What an absolute time was this! The first day of arrival, the torrential rain was such a mood killer, however where the island sits and with the weather changing every 10-15 minutes it seemed to clear up by lunch, and since the following day we had basically blue skies the remainder of our trip (amazzzing).

The staff were always above and beyond, the extra curriculum activities on the beach was great, with other little things you could also do on the island, like the heli tours, going to the reef snorkeling - it was all beautiful and so much fun.

Not once on my trips have I wanted to sit by the pool so often and sip on cocktails. I cant wait to come back and relax, and enjoy being far away from responsibilities.

I think the only downfall on the trip was having my partner’s charter booked, but sacrificing cancelling his treatment at the Spa, as he couldn’t be in two places at once. On the day of charter day, there was not enough people in, so he unfortunately missed out on both all together.
(If you are booking a charter make sure you find out how many people are already booked, last minute!)

Also met some great friends on the trip which live and work on the island! Shoutout to Rosy, and your beautiful kids! Shoutout also to our man from the get go on arriving, Eroni.
Thank you and bless you, such a beautiful bunch here at Hayman some from beautiful Fiji - our next stop! 💗

the whitest and finest and beautiful beach i've ever seen...only downside is there is no shade..so it's just you and the sun and the water. :-) not bad right? the water was salty enough that a non-swimmer like me could float and swim so easily. i love it. came to this island through a boat excursion. didn't have much time to explore around the island except at the beach for a few hours. would love to come back on our own private boat tour.

Visiting for the reopening. Staff are excellent, food is amazing, attention to detail is sensational. Great to be back in this part of Queensland after Cyclone Debbie.

If you ever have the chance to go just do it, beautiful location, beautiful rooms and the people go to extreme lengths to make sure you enjoy your stay. Can I give it six stars out of five?

Great place to go too with a loved one, Wife, Husband, Girlfried, Boyfried or Partner.
Great staff on the Island all very friendly & helpful, restaurants are amazing they have 3 of them, pools are gorgeous attended by staff waiting to serve you by the pool for a cocktail or nibbles. They cater for kids now too if you have little ones.
Highly recommended to go & see the fish feeding at the Marina which is held daily, & book that fishing charter, Great Captain & deck crew that put you onto the fish, & the Chefs are happy to cook the catch later in the evening at one of the restaurants you visit for tea. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What an amazing holiday. Will return again.

Was there for my honeymoon back in 95. No words to describe this place. A dream!

Excellent Resort here and with beautiful landscape

Amazing place to stay, staff are all very friendly, lots of activities to do for all ages, the spa is incredible and all the facilities are all clean and well looked after. Great idea with the reusable bottles you can fill up. The pools are all very beautiful and clean. Can't wait to come here again one day

We have just spent three nights at the re-opened Intercontinental Hayman Island resort, we had an amazing experience. The resort infrastructure was first class and the staff were fabulous. Great customer service and everyone made us feel very special. Thanks to Joshua and his hospitality team, especially Simon, Jenny, and Elana, and we can't forget Stanley down on the beach. Hope to be back soon.

We had the best ever Family holiday in April 2022. We laughed, swam, ate too much and had the most amazing staff take care of us! Thank you so much to the Spa staff (Kate), the pool guys (Tepa) and the best ever waitresses at the Pacific restaurant Maddy and Mershka! We will be back!!!

We have just come back from a fabulous trip to Hayman. From the first moment that you step on the Boat at Hamilton Island to be greeted with some lovely Champagne and a platter of Nibbles with a huge smile from every staff member really set the tone for our stay. To be met at the island by a personal concierge person and shown the resort was a really nice and personal touch. Over our stay we had lots of engagement with our Hayman person (Kim)and she organised restaurant bookings and ensured we were looked after at every opportunity without being over the top. Special Shout to Kim Arthur, Gemma in the restaurant and Adam who looked after us around the Pool. Also the Girls at the Day spa were so accommodating and really wanted to make the massage very special (which it was). The Facilities, pools and general resort was impeccably presented wand we rarely saw any maintenance people roaming around which made everything seem calm. The Food and service at every restaurant was absolutely spot on and enjoyed in the beautiful indoor outdoor setting. Bam Bam was the pick and we ended up going there twice. The food was world class and the great variety of wines and cocktails ensured we had lots of new things to try. Overall i rate the Hayman experience as truly world class, we have been lucky enough to travel all over the world and Hayman should be very proud of the experience they offer, and best of all its in good old OZ . If you are contemplating doing a trip then do it !

In my eyes, this is a 7 star resort.

The only thing i dont like about Hayman island is the organisation of the transfer over there. The times are fluid based on what time other guests might be arriving, and therefore they are only released 12-24 hours before. This makes it very hard to plan the day prior. In our case, we had to phone frequently, and up to 4 hours before the transfer still had not been advised on the time. It was only due to repeated phone calls that we found out, and then had to arrange ourselves in a bit of a hurry.

From the moment you do arrive however, Hayman island is breathtaking. This time was my second visit and it had only gotten better with time. From the architecture to the service and the dining, it is otherwise impossible to fault it. If you are considering visiting, I could not recommend it highly enough – worth every penny. I only hope the resort improves the transfer organisation. For reference, the transfer back to Hamilton island was problem free.

I visited Hayman Island in 2017 - - maybe 2018 before the cyclone. There was this tapas restaurant where the food was insane. I ate every item on the menu over 8 days. Unforgettable. I still dream about those dishes. The chefs were exemplary. I see the restaurant has not been rebuilt which makes me want to cry. Hayman Island is a true 5 star resort. Very professional staff. Im sure the other restaurants are 5 stars but that Tapas restaurant menu was insane.

Second trip to Hayman Island and it did not disappoint. The team were amazing and the facilities are awesome. Great family holiday for us and the kids.

I had the best relaxing holiday ever. The service was impeccable and the pool is amazing. I would definitely go back again.

5 star accommodation and beautiful location. Breath taking views and great fine dining. Superb accommodation

It is the best and most relaxing place to go. You don't have to do anything unless you want to. Just what the doctor ordered.

Thank you for the incredible invitation to the re-opening of the Inter-Continental what an incredible and humbling altruistic gift. It's incredible invitation #safehouse #haymanisland

Blue pearl bay has some nice reefs.
