Give yourself the chance to switch off and step back in time.
Before embarking on a three-day, wind-down at the InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, I ask myself if a few days away can deliver enough rejuvenation. The short answer is yes – but with the help of a designated travel planner. When time is of the essence, it makes sense to engage someone who organises schedules for a living.
The island was battered by Cyclone Debbie in 2017, but you’d hardly know there had been such devastation here.As I swoon over the crystal-blue waters of the Whitsundays, the city is but a distant memory. Before I know it, a hazy island appears in the distance, with staff waving as I land. It momentarily feels like I’ve been tickled awake from a 1988 slumber. Everything feels a bit like themovie.
An early morning yoga class adds to the Zen mood, while the sounds of waves crashing become part of the inhale and exhale mantra. Swapping screen scrolls for turquoise waters is just the ticket. I am finally living the holiday Instagram reel in real time.
