The data doesn’t lie. Hayman Island by InterContinental is back bigger than ever, and it’s making waves globally with American Express card holders. The Great Barrier Reef-based resort is the sole Australian property to feature in the newly released 2020 ‘Trending Destinations’ report compiled by American Express Travel’s accommodation platform, Fine Hotels & Resorts.

Two years after the devastation of Cyclone Debbie, the revamped resort on Hayman Island is back, better than ever. It’s one of three Whitsunday islands resorts to re-open in 2019, joining Daydream Island Resort and Elysian Retreat, Long Island.

Hayman Island by InterContinental, located at the northernmost point in the Whitsunday Islands, welcomed its first guests as they stepped off their luxury catamaran and onto the white sands of Australia’s most iconic private island resort on Monday 1 July 2019.

Reserve your room, and your table, for the 1 July opening of Hayman Island by InterContinental. With a seven-decade heritage in restaurant and bar excellence, InterContinental Hotels & Resorts welcome three new culinary heavyweights to lead five distinct dining experiences on island.

The newly reimagined Hayman Island by InterContinental is offering a limited-time opening special of 25% off stays and gourmet breakfast when booking three or more nights.

Excitement is building ahead of the opening this winter of Hayman Island by InterContinental, one of Australia’s most iconic island resorts. Located on a pristine 400-hectare private island, the 166-room luxury resort has undergone a multi-million-dollar refurbishment to ensure guests will experience a truly immersive stay in one of the world’s most unique destinations.

Following a significant investment by owners Mulpha Australia Limited, the luxury Whitsunday’s resort will reopen as Hayman Island, by InterContinental.
