Daydream Island Resort and Spa
Daydream Island

Overview

Daydream Island Resort and Spa is often described as the jewel of the Whitsunday islands. It offers a range of affordable holiday packages for both couples and families alike. Situated on the heart of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef the resort is the perfect escape for a Queensland holiday and is easily accessible from either Shute Harbour, Airlie beach, or nearby Hamilton Island.

It has 289 beautifully appointed rooms, weddings, honeymoon and conference facilities, and one of Australia’s most advanced Rejuvenation Day Spas to pamper the body and soul.

Unique to Daydream is the man-made Outdoor Aquarium, a complex and stunning network of reef lagoons, containing over 40 marine fish species and 50 coral varieties. The popularity of these lagoons has been boosted by the presence of the colourful clownfish, made famous in the Disney animated feature film Finding Nemo.

Daydream Island, once known as West Molle Island, is possibly the most well known of the 70 sub-tropical islands, most of which are uninhabited. Daydream Island is fringed by the inviting turquoise waters of the Coral Sea in the South Pacific Ocean and offers spectacular snorkelling and scuba diving

With a million dollar mini golf course, an array of restaurants and tropical bars, lagoon style swimming pools and spas, gymnasium, sauna, tennis courts, plus Australia’s most scenic outdoor movie cinema - there’s something for everyone on Daydream.
