Vikki and I recently had our 10 year wedding anniversary and as such we wanted to make this holiday something special. We wanted to escape the winter cold and just relax in pure luxury. Initial thoughts were Hawaii, Maldives or Mauritius. A combination of timing and circumstance actually made us stay in Australia.
Let me introduce you to Hayman Island. Hayman, in Australia's magnificent Great Barrier Reef, is a private island destination presenting a unique resort experience of adventure, relaxation, tranquility, indulgence and natural beauty.
Upon arrival on Hamilton Island we were escorted to the Sun Goddess for a 60 minute journey to the private island resort Hayman.
The Tantalum Matt was very much at home on this boat.
This is the whole resort
Imaging waking up to this view everyday.
Wow this was our room for 8 nights.
Courtesy of Swiss Prestige and Hublot we were lucky to get a Hublot t-shirt which Vikki proudly paraded around the resort LOL.
Some local wildlife
The cuisine was divine. Imagine the shock when I scratched my Tantalum Mat bezel by dropping a cheese knife on it. This faux pas must certainly be a worthy candidate for ‘Dumbest way to scratch a Watch Award’.
Naturally we also wanted to go snorkelling and see part of the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system stretching for over 3,000 kilometres. It can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms. CNN has labelled it one of the 7 natural wonders of the world.
Here is the floating pontoon that allows tourists to see a small part of this natural wonder.
Some shots of the Reef. Shame I didn’t use the flash as this would have brought the true colour of the coral to life.
This is the first instalment of a series of travel tales that I hope you enjoy reading.
