One&Only has announced that it will open its first resort in Australia by the name of One&Only Hayman Island.

This private island resort is re-opening as a One&Only in July 2014 after a multi-million dollar facelift and will offer enhanced accommodation in 160 rooms, new culinary options and the signature One&Only service. The resort will also house an indulgent One&Only Spa incorporating the incredible natural environment by utilising elements that are represented in the surrounding botanical gardens. As with all One&Only properties, One&Only Hayman Island will cater to couples and families alike – preserving privacy and serenity for those who seek it whilst also providing engaging activities for all ages. Innovative offerings for families include the KidsOnly Club and Teens Club, plus a separate family pool and children’s beach area. In addition, a new adult-only pool and chill-out lounge area will be introduced.

With the Introduction of the new Qantas route from Sydney to Hamilton Island, Hayman Island is easier to reach than ever before. Hayman is the northernmost of the Whitsunday Islands in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, covering 726 acres and surrounded by an amazing natural ecosystem of pristine coral reef formations and diverse marine life. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the reef and all the wonders around it through special programmes led by One&Only dive experts and marine biologists, as well as hiking and private island exploration.

Prices start from 750 $AUD (approx. £395) per room per night.
