7th November 2018, Hayman Island, Queensland: InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has announced Australia’s most iconic private island resort, Hayman Island Resort by InterContinental, is set to officially open 1 July 2019 and is now taking reservations for guests to voyage into a secluded paradise of serenity and breath-taking beauty.

Guests can now book online for stays from 1 July 2019 at the Queensland’s most awaited luxury destination through InterContinental.com. Surrounded by verdant cliffs, crescent-shaped white beach and celestial-blue sea, the reimagined Hayman Island Resort by InterContinental will immerse guests in a world of five-star luxury and island wonders beyond their imagination.

Featuring 166 elegantly renovated guest rooms and suites across three spacious accommodation wings, impressive event and wedding venues, a collection of exciting new restaurants and bars, and an enriching spa experience, Hayman Island Resort by InterContinental will showcase the best of the InterContinental life. Redefining the art of luxury travel in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, enriched with meaningful experiences and local know-how.

Mr Mark Eletr joined as the Resort Manager earlier this year and will lead the region’s most awaited luxury destination launch in 2019. Mark is a native Queenslander and has been at the helm of international luxury brands for over 20 years throughout Australia, Asia and United Arab Emirates with his career in luxury resorts beginning over 7 years at Green Island Resort on the Great Barrier Reef.

Commenting on the opening date, Mark said: “Australia is about to experience a new era of luxury with the opening of Hayman Island Resort by InterContinental. The destination is an idyllic oasis with breath-taking landscapes that rival any island location in the world. Guests will experience a bespoke escape with the options to experience the full resort offering or reside in full privacy and serenity in one of our new-build beach residences.”

In the coming months, an exciting line-up of food and beverage experiences will be announced, alongside local tourism activities and further information on the introduction of new luxury suites, the beach house and residences.

Located on the northernmost point in the Whitsunday Islands, Hayman Island by InterContinental is accessible via Hamilton Island and then by either luxury vessel, helicopter or seaplane.

Penthouse living at the Port of Airlie
We had a fabulous stay with our family. The apartment was clean, had everything that we needed, and there was plenty of space for all. Walking distance to the restaurants and shops of Airlie Beach.

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat
Kurz und knapp: Dieses Haus ist ein Traum! Dieser unglaubliche Ausblick hat uns fasziniert und in seinen Bann gezogen. Wir hatten wunderbare Tage, die wir sehr genossen haben. Das Haus ist grosszügig angelegt und in einer ruhigen Umgebung eingebettet. Ideal, um sich zu erholen. Eine kurze Autofahrt und man ist in Airlie Beach und damit mittendrin im Geschehen. Für uns ist klar: Wenn sich die Gelegenheit bietet, kommen wir wieder.

Loved our stay here, good location just a short walk to the shops. The house was great for our group that we had & my toddler loved swimming in the pool everyday. Will definitely be booking here again if we return to Airlie Beach 😊

'Island Time' - Whitsunday Waterfront Apartment
Fantastic property in a great location. Far enough away to avoid the noise and crowd but a very short walk to shops, restaurants, bars etc.Property was very clean and furniture was almost brand new I think.Great spot. Will definitely book again if I get back to Airlie Beach.Driveway is quite steep so watch your front and rear bumper if you don't have a 4wd.

Penthouse living at the Port of Airlie
We recently stayed here for a family birthday. It was the ideal unit for 7 guests, especially with 4 bathrooms. The unit was spotless on arrival and check-in was very easy with lockbox instructions. The staff at Whitsunday Vacations were very helpful with all my queries. View spectacular, close to all amenities and we would have no hesitation in staying again.
