Previously known worldwide as Hayman Island Resort, it is now called One&Only Hayman Island Resort and is owned by well diversified Malaysian conglomerate Mulpha International Berhad, a component stock of Bursa Malaysia Composite Index since 1983.
It is a major feather in our cap that Hayman Island is now Malaysian owned, akin to Tioman or Langkawi being owned by a private company!
Hayman Island was bought by Mulpha 9 years ago and has been extensively renovated since March 2014 and will reopen on 1 July 2014.
Unlike most revamps, the number of rooms has been REDUCED instead of being expanded! From 209 rooms, there are now 160 rooms which are bigger, better and more exclusive than ever!
When next in Australia, visit Hayman Island off Queensland and support a Malaysian company!
ONE&ONLY HAYMAN ISLAND
ICONIC PRIVATE ISLAND RESORT REIMAGINED
One&Only Hayman Island, Australia’s iconic private
island resort in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, will begin welcoming
guests on 1 July 2014 and will redefine luxury for the Australian market. The
resort has been reimagined, introducing new accommodation, redesigned spaces
and the unrivalled One&Only experience.
The design, interiors and landscape architecture are the result of collaboration between Kerzner International Development, the prominent team that introduced the world to One&Only Reethi Rah in The Maldives as well as One&Only The Palm in Dubai and DBI Design, award-winning Australian designers renowned for their global expertise.
The resort is currently
completing a multi-million dollar refurbishment and guests will be able to
discover One&Only Hayman Island as of 1stJuly 2014.
One&Only Hayman Island will offer reimagined resortliving in beautifully appointed guest rooms, suites, villas and penthouses, set among expansive pools, lush gardens and two kilometres of pristine white sand beaches. With the new ultra-luxury configuration, almost half of the accommodation will be a suite, villa or penthouse, offering a wide variety of choice, whether for couples, groups or families—including multi-generational families. Located in three distinct areas of the resort, each accommodation offers a different ambiance, and each designed to take advantage of the breath-taking views of shades of teal and indigo of the ocean and the natural surroundings. The iconic One&Only Hayman Pool has been given a renewed energy with private cabanas and daybeds and is the perfect location to enjoy day to evening with the effortlessly chic On the Rocks restaurant and bar.
The
resort is also introducing the brand new Aquazure Pool, offering a
comprehensive experience for families including cabanas and an infinity edge
pool with a zero entryfor children.
Unveiled for the first time, the newly designed Pool Wing will be transformed to an all-suite experience, each overlooking the iconic One&Only Hayman Pool and offer breathtaking ocean views. Each suite will provide separate living and dining areas and spacious decks for relaxing. Pool level suites also offer direct swim-out access, allowing guests to enjoy the water straight from their own pool terrace. The One&Only Hayman Wing will offer chic, relaxed guest rooms through to the grand one-, two- and three-bedroom Penthouse Residences, including one created by the legendary fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg. Newly refurbished with One&Only signature style and sophistication, guest rooms are generously proportioned set within a lush landscape, just steps from One&Only Hayman Beach and the Coral Sea.
Most guest rooms feature
ocean views, whilst some rooms will enjoy overlooking the serene lily lagoon.
The interiors are luxurious with a pleasing aesthetic of understated
elegance, playing off a neutral palate, in tune with the natural
surroundings, with decadent canopy beds, pale linen furnishings and smart
geometric accents set the stage for relaxation.
The spectacular collection of Kerry Hill‐designed Beach Villas and the freestanding private Beach House are perfect for those guests that want to be directly on the beach. In their new One&Only configuration, the beach villas not only offer a private pool and direct access to One&Only Hayman Beach, but are also partnered with Retreat Rooms located directly behind to accommodate larger groups, creating the perfect Australian beach holiday for families. One&Only Hayman Island’s restaurants and bars have also undergone a stylish transformation, with chic new interiors and brand new experiences throughout the resort. In addition, the One&Only Spa will be introducing a new level of indulgence for guests. For the first time in Australia, Amala products will be debuted and used throughout the Spa, as well as the unveiling of a Mani:Pedi: Cure studio by Bastien Gonzalez, and the new One&Only Salon for hair and beauty. Finally, a new One&Only Fitness Centre has been created by the expert One&Only Fitness Team, aligned with philosophies of health and wellness professional, James Duigan. One&Only Hayman Island’s in-house personal training team are now qualified in the art and execution of Bodyism and the benefits of Clean&Lean living. Guests visiting the resort can enjoy personalised Bodyism programmes starting with thorough consultations, fitness tests and realistic goals with achievable results for the end of their stay. In addition, the Clean and Lean Lifestyle will also be reflected in all culinary destinations throughout the resort. Reborn as One&Only Hayman Island, the resort will offer an unparalleled commitment to the finest holiday experiences on every possible level. Each resort is infused with a personality borne of each local culture, warmed by genuine hospitality and invigorated with a lively energy that creates a One&Only experience. When guests come to these special places, they create their own memories that are One&Only in both name and spirit. “One&Only Hayman Island is our first resort in the Asia Pacific region, and we are excited to introduce our One&Only style to this part of the world,” said Alan Leibman, CEO of Kerzner International. “With our partners, Mulpha, we have completely redefined luxury in the Great Barrier Reef and transformed the guest experience with the hallmarks of excellence found in One&Only resorts around the world, whilst capturing the breath-taking beauty of one of the natural wonders of the world.”
