Hayman Unveils Beach Villas

Hayman Resort, Great Barrier Reef

Longtime Harper favorite Hayman has unveiled eight new lavish Beach Villas, raising the bar for resorts in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The 212 accommodations in the original low-profile wings feature beautiful balconies and marble baths, but the villas provide an entirely different level of luxury, for those so inclined.

In addition to glorious views of the Coral Sea, each villa features butler service, a private pool, a beachfront terrace and an outdoor shower. At almost 1,300 square feet, the light-filled villas feel refreshingly spacious and airy, perfectly complementing their lush environment.

The best season to visit the Great Barrier Reef fast approaches. A stay between the beginning of March and the end of November would show this vibrantly colorful natural wonder at its best.
