Hayman Island by InterContinental gears up for 2019 opening

Mark Eletr has been appointed as resort manager at Hayman Island by InterContinental in the Whitsundays.

Eletr is one of several senior appointments to be announced, alongside Wensdae Lucas as HR manager and Lindsay Williams as rooms division manager.

Eletr was most recently vice president & regional director of operations at Karma Group in Asia.

The 166-room Hayman Island by InterContinental will open in July 2019 following a significant refurbishment including a new line-up of food and beverage experiences alongside local tourism activities and the introduction of new luxury suites, the beach house and residences. 

“It is a privilege to introduce a brand-new luxury concept for local and international visitors alike,” he said. “Myself, like many, share a special affinity with Hayman Island; its spectacular beauty and seclusion are rare encounters in today’s world.

“InterContinental is the globe’s most trusted leader in luxury hospitality and I am deeply excited to work with my team and deliver our shared vision to open Australia’s most iconic island resort.”
