Why InterContinental Hayman Island Resort Will Be Your Dream Wedding Destination

Why InterContinental Hayman Island Resort Will Be Your Dream Wedding Destination

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. 

What ceremony options does InterContinental Hayman Island Resort offer?

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.

Where can I host my reception at InterContinental Hayman Island Resort?

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.

After the wedding comes the honeymoon!

It would be unfair to only on Hayman Island stay for the wedding, right? Couples planning to honeymoon at InterContinental Hayman IslandResort are in for the ultimate in relaxation and luxury. The resort’s Beachfront Pool Villa’s offer their very own private plunge pool, outdoor shower, day bed and super king bedroom.

 You’ve all seen the image of the iconic Hayman Pool? Well, you can stay in one of the exquisite One Bedroom Pool Access Suite’s which gives allows couples to swim out into the Hayman Pool from their balcony.

If your bridal party, friends or family are sticking around for a few days after the wedding, the newly-built Three Bedroom Hayman Beach House is the ultimate pinnacle of luxury and where you want to be. Located on the Hayman beachfront with unobstructed views of the Coral Sea, each of the three bedrooms have their own plunge pool and ensuite.

Speaking of family and friends, what activities can do they on the island?

Your guests are travelling to Hayman Island for your wedding, obviously the most important part of their trip, but whilst they (and you and your partner) are there, there are lots of once-in-a-lifetime activities to take part in as well. 

InterContinental Hayman Island Resort’s partner Ocean Dynamics offers visitors the chance to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef or visit the iconic Whitehaven Beach, one of the best and most pristine beaches in the world.  There’s also jet ski adventures, glass bottom boat cruises and luxury vessels for sunset sails and island escapes. Bliss! 

For those wanting a bird’s eye view of the turquoise waters, Helireef offers private helicopter tours where you can touch down somewhere secluded for a gourmet picnic.

What about pre-wedding pampering?

There is indeed a hair salon for the bridal party or guests to use before and after the big day. Hayman Spa offers 11 treatment rooms with gorgeous Sodashi skin and body treatments.
