Property Amenities

Hayman is the most northerly of the famous Whitsunday Island group; the resort is located on the southerly shore of the privately-owned 294-hectare island. The extensive low-rise facilities are scattered among 14 hectares of tropical gardens and front a sweeping stretch of sandy beach. Beyond the beach lies an 800-metre-wide sand flat with a fringe of coral reef that is exposed at low tide. Hayman's flora is diverse, and a variety of birds inhabit the island, including white cockatoos, painted lorikeets, kookaburras, stone curlews, and kingfishers.

From May to November, butterflies swarm the shaded gullies, and there is a year-round resident colony of Proserpine rock wallabies. From May through to August, humpback whales are a familiar sight, and the crystal clear waters surrounding the island are also home to a kaleidoscope of coloured coral and tropical fish. The resort is a blend of manicured gardens and rugged bushland, with visitors invited to venture on walks to scenic lookouts and memorable beaches. The expansive Activities Centre is centrally located and offers tennis, basketball, squash, a fitness room, and a golf driving range.
