Nestled at the northernmost point of Australia’s Whitsunday archipelago is Hayman Island and the recently renovated and utterly incredible InterContinental Hayman Island Resort. Surrounded by beautiful coral seas in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, InterContinental Hayman Island Resort’s wedding options are some of the best the world has to offer. Why book an overseas destination wedding when you can travel North to Australia’s best and most luxurious wedding venue.
The ceremony options are endless and perfectly combine the natural beauty of Hayman Island with the romantic setting of the resort. For a more relaxed vibe you can exchange vows barefoot on one of the pristine beaches or go tropical by saying ‘I do’ in one of the island’s gardens.
For those wanting a religious ceremony, the ocean-view chapel is situated beneath the summit of the island’s hilltop. Idyllic.
Your guests will be in absolute awe when they first lay eyes on your wedding reception. Picture this: a long table reception hosted on an intimate island located 800 metres across from the resort and only accessible via a private boat. Or maybe you want your long table reception in the tropical yet completely luxurious Formal Gardens.
There are actually 15 outdoor and indoor venue options all up including private beaches, gardens, the iconic pools, private superyachts, and exclusive use of the restaurants and ballrooms, so the choice is yours.
