Luxury Spa: On a private island near Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the Hayman Island Resort is one of the world's finest island getaways offering the most lavish of spas: Spa Chakra. A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, the Hayman Island Resort is 1.13 square miles in size, a hexagonal-shaped resort designed to blend in with its natural habitat. Accessible by seaplane, boat or helicopter, your senses will be indulged by this private oasis, complete with breathtaking lagoons, pristine beaches, the soothing sound of waterfalls, and the call of white cockatoos.

Spa Chakra Hayman was launched in July 2005, its facilities set among lush tropical gardens and unspoiled wilderness. Available to resorts guests are thirteen treatment rooms, a relaxing hydrotherapy area, garden spa suites, couples' treatment rooms, saunas and steam rooms, a large saltwater pool and two freshwater pools, relaxation lounges, and a dedicated Wet Treatment room with Vichy showers. The spa also includes a state-of-the-art hair salon and outdoor fitness facilities with a full staff of personal trainers.

Discerning guests travel from around the world to experience much more than traditional pampering services. The spa, utilizing a combination of therapies with ancient origins, incorporates innovative technology that focuses on the body's natural energy centers, the chakras. Spa Chakra is designed to serve as a wellness-oriented retreat, a full-course health and spa experience where guests can consult with the spa's wellness experts and have an extensive holistic analysis performed. There is an extensive menu of treatments that range from Yoga classes to 90-minute specialty facials, stress-relieving Hayman Hot Rock body treatment to a Jet Lag Travel Perscription. Therapies incorporate the exclusive Guerlain Method - a patented facial and body massage technique developed at the Guerlain Institute in Paris.

Five- star accommodations, world-class dining, and a slew of land and water adventures are available at the Hayman Island Resort. International awards listings include the Conde Nast Traveler US Gold List. For more detailed information, visit the resort website.
