Hayman Island - Queensland

Posted by om 0 comments











A couple of years ago my husband and I had a five day break at Hayman Island. It rained. But despite the rain we had a relaxing and luxurious break. Until Qualia came along, Hayman was Australia’s ultimate five-star tropical resort treating it’s guests to an exclusive realm of luxury, indulgent dining, leisurely activity, reef adventure and breathtaking scenery. However, many parts of the resort are showing the tests of time. The restaurants, in particular, are tired and dated and in desperate need of refurbishment but the main pool area is still exceptional. Our garden bungalow room had recently had an extensive make-over and was the perfect place to spend a rainy break. Definitely worth a trip...just pick the weather!

House Of The Week











When India Hicks left the rat race for the Caribbean, people scratched their heads. But the model turned interior designer soon created a new path for the designer. The daughter of British designer David Hicks and god daughter of the Prince of Wales. She has written two books, including 'Island Life' and 'Island Beauty' in collaboration with Crabtree and Evelyn. They have also built or restored 4 houses and a hotel along the way.
She was born in London, England, in 1967, her mother Pamela Hicks, is daughter to the Earl and Countess Mountbatten of Burma. Her grandfather was the last Viceroy of India, and gave the country their independence in 1947, hence her name.
She has a degree in photography but started her working life as a model with her first modelling assignment for Ralph Lauren. A career on the other side of the camera was born. She now lives on a small island in the Bahamas, with David Flint and her four boys.
