AUSTRALIA
HAYMAN RESORT
Situated on its own tropical island, located off the Northeastern Queensland Coast of Australia, a 60-minute boat ride from the Great Barrier Reef, Hayman is Australia’s premier, world-class resort. The 214 guest accommodations and ultra-deluxe penthouse suites spread among two wings and are connected by open-air, partially covered walkways that curve around a large water complex that includes three swimming pools.
The five dining venues range from casual to the formal French fine-dining restaurant, La Fontaine. Water sports include scuba diving and snorkeling on the Barrier Reef with transportation by boat, helicopters and seaplanes. Other sport facilities include tennis courts, a golf target range, a putting green and a fitness/massage facility.
Strong Points: A luxurious Australian resort with a variety of restaurants, and some of the world’s best diving and snorkeling.
