The resort holds 182 guest rooms, suites and villas across four wings, Pool, Lagoon, Beach and Pavilion, plus four double-storey Hayman Residences set on the island's hilltop, each accommodating eight guests with their own infinity pool and open-plan living area.

Five restaurants and bars, Pacific, Amici, Aqua, Bam Bam and Grove Boutique & Café, serve Pan-Asian, Italian and seafood menus across the property. Private dining experiences include Under the Stars on the beach, Pacific Beach Dinner, Amici Al Fresco and a Chef's Table in the resort's central kitchen, directed by Executive Chef Paul Lewis. Hayman Spa and Hayman Hair Salon operate seven days a week from 9.45am to 6pm, with the spa partnered with Subtle Energies for treatments rooted in Ayurvedic principles.
