Hayman Island accommodation from AU$94

The InterContinental Hayman Island Resort is a 5-star resort on its own private island. Settle into a complimentary lounge chair for a day at the beach, get pampered at the full-service spa, or try out the two outdoor pools. The resort also has five restaurants, serving seafood, Italian, and Asian cuisine, with views ranging from beachfront to garden Zen.

There are heaps of child-friendly activities on Hayman Island, available through the resort. Take the kids on a glass-bottom boat tour or get the adrenaline up during a jet ski adventure. Explore by air in a helicopter or go beneath the waves and snorkel. There’s also tennis, bird walks, and even fish feeding. Make sure to check out the kids’ club and game room, too.

You’ll need to get to Hayman Island by boat, helicopter, or seaplane. First, fly to Hamilton Island, one of the major stops in the Whitsunday Islands. From there, you can catch your pre-booked transportation to your island paradise.
