THE DEAL
Perched on the edge of one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most spectacular panoramas, The Residence at Hayman offers a rare opportunity to own a truly iconic home in the Whitsunday Islands. With sweeping views across the Coral Sea, and as one of only two private residences on Hayman Island, it is an exclusive sanctuary like no other. Designed by internationally renowned architect Kerry Hill, this award-winning home seamlessly blends architectural elegance with the natural beauty of its surroundings. From every corner, The Residence invites you to experience the magic of the Great Barrier Reef — from the unspoiled beaches to the crystal-clear lagoon and beyond.
Spanning three levels, The Residence is a celebration of space, light, and nature. The design captures the essence of island living while ensuring unparalleled privacy and serenity. The central living area brings the outside in, with expansive glass walls framing breathtaking vistas of the pool, sea, and nearby islands. The open-plan kitchen, featuring the highest-spec appliances, and living areas embody minimalist luxury, with soaring ceilings and timeless finishes that reflect Kerry Hill’s meticulous attention to detail. On the entry level, you’ll find two generously appointed children’s bedrooms, each with its own ensuite — before reaching the palatial master suite. The master offers panoramic views in every direction and features a study, a massive walk-in robe, and an ensuite with a double vanity and a bath.
A basalt-clad infinity pool spills into the horizon, enhancing the sense of connection with the natural world. The pool house offers a peaceful haven, where water and sky blur into one, while the lush tropical gardens provide a gentle backdrop of island greenery.
Guest accommodation is located on the lower level, offering both privacy and comfort. A large living space is complemented by two bedrooms, each with their own ensuite and private balcony.
What sets The Residence at Hayman apart is not only its design but also its access to world-class resort amenities. Situated within the renowned InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, residents have privileged access to a full suite of resort services, including 24-hour room service, butler assistance, private chefs, and more. Whether you seek adventure on the water, pampering at the resort’s wellness centre, or a quiet evening stargazing from the privacy of your home — everything is at your fingertips.
Constructed with uncompromising quality by Hutchinson Builders, the residence is crafted from reinforced concrete and features a harmonious blend of glass, timber battening, and breezy verandas. Kerry Hill’s design philosophy reflects a deep respect for the island’s natural beauty, ensuring the home complements its environment while enhancing your living experience.
SEALS THE DEAL
With only a handful of properties in the Whitsundays offering this level of luxury, privacy, and access to the natural wonders of the Great Barrier Reef, The Residence at Hayman is a rare and extraordinary find. This is more than just a home — it’s an opportunity to own a piece of paradise, a legacy to share with family and friends for generations to come.
‘We like to think that each building is designed especially for its context and its place. I feel that you need to perpetuate the traditions within the culture and material of a place through your architecture so that it is appropriate.’ - Kerry Hill, Architect

The Interiors
Considered architectural finishes
Kerry Hill’s design for this luxury home on Hayman Island embodies minimalist luxury, with soaring ceilings, refined simplicity, and timeless finishes that showcase his unparalleled attention to detail. Every element harmonises with the island’s natural beauty, creating a serene yet sophisticated retreat.
The View
Open seas
Breathtaking, uninterrupted views over the ocean, where endless shades of blue meet the horizon. Framed by swaying palm trees and pristine white sand, the scene unfolds beneath vast skies brushed with light clouds. As the day fades, fiery orange sunsets paint the water in shimmering gold, transforming the landscape into a living masterpiece, as serene and captivating as a painting.
Lifestyle
Live fast or unwind slow - this is a place where time bends to your will. Chase adventure or surrender to serenity; here, luxury means freedom.
Sustainability
Born from the island itself, the home rises with quiet intention - native timber, sun-bleached stone, and open spaces that breathe with the ocean breeze. Kerry Hill’s vision celebrates sustainability not as restraint, but as a deeper kind of luxury: one that honours place, time, and the art of disappearing into beauty.
Quality Finishes
Precision-crafted finishes meet understated luxury. Hand-cut stone, custom high-end detailing, and top-tier European appliances. Every element speaks quietly, but never compromises.
Your own private retreat on Hayman Island - a place where understated luxury meets natural beauty, offering a lifestyle of tranquillity and distinction.
Scarcity
Like the island's perfect sunsets, opportunities of this calibre are fleeting. With just a privileged few ever able to call Hayman Island home, this stands as a legacy purchase for discerning collectors of the extraordinary.
