3 Luxurious Ways to Spend Your Time at Great Barrier Reef
3 Luxurious Ways to Spend Your Time at Great Barrier Reef. Article first appeared in www.ozehols,com,au, http://www.ozehols.com.au/blog/queensland/3-luxurious-ways-to-spend-your-time-at-great-barrier-reef/
Crystal blue water, endless white sandy beaches and amazing coral reefs to explore – a trip on the Great Barrier Reef is a truly spectacular way to spend time away on holiday. For those wanting a luxurious and relaxing getaway, the Great Barrier Reef is the perfect location to experience the real pleasures of life with great food, amazing views and quality services to cater for all of your needs.
There is a range of Whitsunday accommodation perfect for a romantic getaway for two, a small group of friends or perhaps even time away for yourself. From here, you can explore Great Barrier Reef or simply relax and experience the wonderful pleasures of beach-side living.
Whether you plan to spend the week playing tennis, flying over the Whitsunday waters on a scenic seaplane flight, dining outdoors or renting a car and taking a self-guided tour, you’ll need to be prepared. Learn more about our leisure and dining options, and consider getting a comprehensive car insurance comparison before you head out on your adventure. The research will be well worth it when you reach the Reef.
To get you started, here are three luxurious ways to spend your time at Great Barrier Reef:
Pampering Yourself
As blissful as the beach may be, there are even more ways to rest and relax while visiting the Great Barrier Reef. Treat yourself and a partner to a signature spa experience, including hand and foot massages, hair and beauty treatments and aromatherapy. Popular body therapies include a one hour Tropical Body Polish, a full-body de-ageing exfoliation, and a Soothing After-Sun Recovery for sun-kissed skin that aches. Treatments start at A$170.
During an ocean massage – received while floating on the ocean – guests can settle into complete relaxation while surrounded by tropical fish and peaceful tides. For A$400, an ocean massage is the ultimate way to rejuvenate while relaxing.
The sauna, steam room and plunge pool are all complimentary options available.
Appreciating the Reef
Enjoy an intimate hike through dense rain forests and along rocky inlets to truly appreciate the expansive Reef. Just 1.5 kilometres away, Whitsunday Lookout is the first of many majestic viewpoints visible while on the marina section of the circuit walk. A great place to take in the sunrise and sunset, Dolphin Point is a 90-minute walk from Hayman and boasts “God’s Arm Chair” – a rock formation perfect for sitting on while overlooking the ocean. If seeing the Reef from sideline and aerial perspectives isn’t enough, take a Reef adventure tour and enjoy hours of snorkeling.
Wining and Dining
A natural choice for those wanting to have a good time, the Beach Pavilion serves cold beer and Australian wine in a casual setting that overlooks the Coral Sea. For a more exclusive experience, enjoy seafood at Azure Hayman Grill, Italian and Mediterranean dining at La Trattoria or Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Indian cuisine at Oriental. Bookings are required.
For continued delight, indulge your loved one by organising a private dinner for two almost anywhere on or off Hayman Island. Enjoy a candlelit dinner overlooking the water, order in-room dining or book a twilight dining experience and enjoy your meal among the gardens that overlook Hayman Beach.
We invite you to explore the beautiful Hayman Island and Whitsunday area while staying in one of the Whitsunday holiday rentals offered by OzeHols.
