About the hotel

Experience the magic of the Whitsundays with a stay at the impressive Daydream Island Resort – an iconic family-friendly escape at the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. Just five kilometres off the coast of the mainland and surrounded by lush rainforest with a fringe of cool coastline, this resort is only accessible by boat or helicopter. With three restaurants, a revitalised pool area and a manmade free-form coral lagoon wrapping 200m around the central building, this is one of the best ways to enjoy this stunning part of Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding islands.

A stay on Daydream Island truly feels like an escape from the world, surrounded by one of the seven wonders of the world. From snorkelling to scuba diving and glass bottom boats, there are many ways to enjoy this natural beauty, teeming with colourful marine life. As one of 74 islands in the Whitsundays, Daydream is also the perfect launchpad for a boating adventure on these crystal-clear waters. Sunbathe on the impossibly white sands of Whitehaven Beach, hike through dense rainforest and take in this breathtaking area of unspoiled beauty.

Expert Tip: While Daydream Island is a tropical paradise and one of the most popular family destinations in Australians, please note it isn’t a ‘luxury resort’.
