favourite FOOD of Hayman Island

Of course if you’re going to an island, you want to be well fed and have variety. On Hayman, there are five restaurants to choose from.

You’ll never forget your first lunch at the Beach Pavilion, casual al fresco dining overlooking the blue, blue Coral Sea.

The best choice for dinner is the French restaurant La Fontaine, closely followed by the Oriental Asian restaurant and the Italian restaurant La Trattoria.

The Chef’s Table is a memorable dinner experience in the main kitchen as you indulge in a six course banquet prepared by Hayman’s international Chef.

You can also have dinner at Azure on the beach, the focal point in the morning for breakfast. Best Beach Holidays has stayed at a lot of resorts around the world and Hayman Island’s breakfast is right up there for fresh produce and variety. The chefs will even make you an egg white omelette with any ingredients you desire as you sit watching what must be the best breakfast view in the world - mirror still blue ocean, dreamy little isles offshore and the silhouette of bigger islands further off.

When you add these ingredients of breathtaking view and a sprinkling of nature in the form of polite cockatoos dropping in, you happily realise this has to be one of the world’s best holidays.

From a woman’s perspective, the staff are outstanding by international standards. The laid-back Australian friendliness is so endearing that you’ll feel like you’ve made new friends. Even in the resort toilets, Molton Brown toiletries await you along with freshly-cut young roses.
