Introduction

Hayman Island lies at the northern end of the Whitsundays and is positioned around a private resort, ringed by hills and bays with quiet, clear water. The resort was extensively rebuilt after Tropical Cyclone Debbie in 2017 and reopened in 2019, known for its large lagoon-style pool, several restaurants and spa, with an overall style pitched at upmarket holidays and honeymoons. As a gateway island for the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays, it can arrange outer-reef snorkelling, helicopter flights and trips to Whitehaven Beach. The island is operated as a private resort and non-guests generally cannot visit freely; arrival is by yacht, seaplane or helicopter, arranged through the resort.
