Discover pure island elegance at one of the most iconic luxury Australia hotels in the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef.

InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef Resort by IHG occupies a secluded private island at the northernmost point of the Whitsundays, where lush rainforest-cloaked hills descend into clear turquoise waters at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Long regarded as one of Australia’s most iconic luxury resorts, Hayman combines grand island glamour with a profound sense of calm and wellbeing, surrounded by powder-white beaches, rustling palm trees and the endless blue of the Coral Sea.
