The five-star Hayman Private Island Resort began a roll-out of ultra-luxury private residences with price tags up to AU$20 million (US$20.5 million). So far, two private homes have been sold, with the second dwelling welcoming its new owners in April this year. The private residences are nestled in the natural bushland on the eastern hillside of the island with panoramic views of the Whitsunday Passage and the sun-soaked Coral Sea. Architect Kerry Hill’s contemporary designs combine light-filled spaces, spacious swimming pools and flawless fittings and finishes, all with an unparalleled level of privacy. They are being sold from the plans, with a construction time of about 18 months, and they can be part of the holiday rental pool, which is run by the resort.

Private Hayman marina residences will also be released to the market later this year. They are perfect for people who love the sound of the ocean as they drift off to sleep. With uninterrupted views of Arkhurst Island, Langford Reef and the Coral Sea, the marina homes will feature absolute waterfront locations, with a private beach, access to Marina berths and a super-yacht mooring facility. The residences will rest on the vanilla white sand that wraps around the south-western side of the island, taking advantage of the stunning forest backdrop and beachside location.

Hayman Island is home to the largest resort in the Whitsundays, featuring 244 guest rooms, suites, penthouses and villas, acres of marble flooring, and looks as though it was dropped into a beachside tropical jungle. Sun-speckled water, swaying palm trees and a picture-perfect panorama of the beach and bay make it a perfect place to stay while looking for a sunny Australian holiday home.

As the private and marina residences offer access to all of the resort amenities, it is a good opportunity to experience what is available. From watersports, golf, hiking, snorkeling and diving to massages, yoga and retail therapy, there is always something to suit those looking for relaxation and luxury or adventure.
