THE newly re-vamped One&Only Hayman Island will begin welcoming guests on July 1.

Since its closure at the beginning of the year, the resort has been re-imagined, introducing new accommodation, re-designed spaces and the unrivalled One&Only brand experience.

The design, interiors and landscape architecture are the result of collaboration between Kerzner International Development and DBI Design.

Kerzner International Development is perhaps best known as the prominent team that introduced the world to One&Only Reethi Rah in The Maldives and One&Only The Palm in Dubai.

Meanwhile DBI Design are award-winning Australian designers renowned for their global expertise.

CEO of Kerzner International Alan Leibman said One&Only Hayman Island was the company's first resort in the Asia Pacific region.

"And we are excited to introduce our One&Only style to this part of the world," he said.

"With our partners, Mulpha, we have completely re-defined luxury in the Great Barrier Reef and transformed the guest experience with the hallmarks of excellence found in One&Only resorts around the world, whilst capturing the breath-taking beauty of one of the natural wonders of the world."

From July 1, One&Only Hayman Island will be all about a new ultra-luxury configuration, with almost half of the accommodation in suites, villas or penthouses.

The One&Only Hayman Wing will offer everything from chic, relaxed guest rooms through to grand one, two and three-bedroom penthouse residences, including one created by the legendary fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg.

There is also a spectacular collection of Kerry Hill-designed beach villas and the freestanding private beach house. The iconic One&Only Hayman Pool has been given a renewed energy with private cabanas and daybeds.

The resort is also introducing the brand new Aquazure Pool, including cabanas and an infinity edge pool with a zero entry for children.

The island's restaurants and bars have undergone a stylish transformation and finally, a new fitness centre has been created, aligned with the philosophies of health and wellness professional, James Duigan.
