HOSPITALITY AT ITS FINEST ON HAYMAN ISLAND

Sustainability, durability and understated luxury are at the heart of Kristine Yeat’s design for the Hayman Island Beach House, located on Queensland’s Hayman Island, which was rebuilt following Cyclone Debbie in 2017.

“Reflective of the beautiful island, the design brief was to exude understated luxury and relaxed sophistication, with simplicity in mind,” says Yeats.

Hayman Island is renowned for its humid tropical conditions with the possibility of cyclonic activity, which meant the home also needed to be resistant to extreme weather events.

Materials for the external fabric and internal finishes were selected to withstand the conditions – a consideration also given to the furnishings featured throughout.

Yeats teamed up with Harbour to bring to life the Hayman Island Beach House vision, particularly in the relaxation zone, where retreat day beds line the waterfront.
