Travel + Leisure says..."Hayman is one of the reef's big resorts, with 234 guest rooms, 500 employees, acres of marble flooring, and five dining venues. The once-before-I-die icon has been accepting paying guests since 1935. Back then, the clientele was largely fishermen, and the accommodations were basic cabins. The next year, the American novelist Zane Grey filmed White Death on the island. Capitalizing on a sensational crescent of vanilla-sand beach, a luxury resort soon replaced the cabins and flourished for two decades before a 1970 cyclone. After the resort reopened six months later, 650,000 trees and shrubs were introduced to the island; of the 1,000 palms, 22 form a glamorous avenue. Rooms fronting the seven-times-Olympic-size swimming poolaso gigantic it loses 1,500 gallons of water in evaporation and runoff per dayahave terraces that jut into the water, so you can jump right in from your bed. Are the pools a little splashy? Yes. Are they fun? Absolutely." -From Travel + Leisure

"Beach Hotel. Billing itself as Australias first seven-star hotel, Qualia has the requisite luxury trappings (personal infinity pools, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar). But the real stars here are architect Chris Beckingham and chef Stephane Rio, who have modernized the notion of an Australian reef resort. The airy one-bedroom pavilions combine native styles (corrugated-iron roofs, wide eaves) and materials (plantation hoop pine, Bowen granite) with restraint; each pared-down space is both contemporary and authentic. At the restaurant, Rio uses indigenous ingredients in unexpected wayseven for breakfast, when waffles are served with sweet and nutty wattle-seed and Kaffir-lime syrups."
