One&Only to debut in Australia next year
Australia’s luxury island resort – Hayman, Great Barrier Reef – is to undergo a multi-million dollar renovation and be re-launched as One&Only Hayman Island in April 2014 – One&Only’s first resort in Australia.
Mulpha Australia has entered into an agreement with Kerzner International Holdings Limited, the international developer and operator of destination resorts, casinos and luxury resorts, to assume management of the resort. Mulpha will continue to maintain full ownership of the island and the resorts.
Hayman is located on the northernmost of the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef, surrounded by a natural ecosystem of coral reef formations and diverse marine life. The One&Only transformation will include enhanced accommodations and new culinary options.
Brisbane-based DBI Design, in partnership with the Kerzner International Development Team, has been engaged for the interior design and landscape architecture for the resort’s transformation.
The resort will also house a One&Only Health Spa incorporating the natural environment by utilising elements that are represented in the surrounding botanical gardens.
A new Beauty Salon concept will be introduced adjacent to the spa, in addition to a fitness centre with a focus on personal training.
As part of the ongoing development and investment programme, Mulpha Australia will continue a staged roll out of the luxury Hayman Private Residences and Hayman Marina Residences, offering private ownership opportunities for clients and guests.
