We stayed here for 5 nights for our wedding anniversary - We stayed in a pool access room which was great.. The Boat ride over from Hamilton on the private yacht is divine.. It was such a relaxing time for us.. A must do is the sea plane to Whitehaven - this place is just pure magic - Loved Hayman... More

I recently visited Hayman Island and want to say a BIG Thank you to all the staff! They were the ultimate host and I felt spoiled beyond belief and certainly fell under Hayman’s spell and am already planning a return trip for my wedding! Whilst the whole experience felt like a dream I feel it was the little things that... More

I recently stayed in a Lagoon View Room on Hayman Island and my expectations were exceeded on every level! The rooms were large, recently renovated and had spectacular views! We dined at Fonataine, Azure and the pool bar. The food was magnificent and I highly recommend splurging on the 6 course degustation menu in Fontaine!! This resort truly offers the... More

Hayman is an exceptional resort. We arrived at Hamilton Island and were greeted at the Hayman check-in desk. Once they had marked our name they had us wait in a 'lounge' (small room with drinks) which was nice but also kind of weird once the room got crowded. This was only for 10 minutes then we were escorted to the... More

Hayman Island has a number of different accomodation options. We recently stayed in a Lagoon Room, which are rooms at one end of the resort overlooking a smaller pool and the beach. Our initial room was right adjacent to a path leading into the building so we had absolutely no privacy. After a room change request we quickly were moved... More

Thank you for your feedback! I am happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hayman. The Hayman Lagoon rooms recently received a soft refurbishment and offer a sanctuary for guests while, as you correctly pointed out, the Hayman Pool rooms offer a little more action. I am glad you visited the new Beach Villas, which provide an incredibly indulgent... More

We were just there for 8 days on our honeymoon and it was everything we hoped for. From the moment our flight landed on Hamilton Island, there was a private check-in counter that was expecting us and took care of our luggage. We just had to go on board their luxury yacht for our transfer to Hayman Island, and we... More

Hayman certainly is a luxury destination, but if you prefer to do things for yourself, or if you're looking for a tropical island adventure, or if you're budget-conscious. The staff at Hayman will go to great lengths to make sure you enjoy your stay, and the resort itself is pretty fantastic - so if you're into that sort of thing,... More
