Australia’s most loved island resort, Daydream Island will welcome guests from 10th April 2019, unveiling the new look, premium resort secluded in the heart of the Whitsundays.

The resort will launch new signature dining concepts, relaxed bars and waterfront suites, as well as bringing back the iconic Living Reef with an underwater observatory.

Daydream Island Resort General Manager, Dawson Tang said, “We wanted the new Daydream Island Resort to reflect the beauty of its surroundings through the architecture, design and dining direction. We have embraced the favourite memories of our guests by reinstating the Living Reef, the Outdoor Cinema and an ode to the mermaids.”

The resort will have 277 contemporary suites and rooms for guests to relax in after a day in the sun, with garden, pool and ocean view rooms providing the perfect retreat. Three signature restaurants and three new bars will each be defined by their own distinct design and flavour. Led by Bradley Martin, Executive Chef and Adrian Tyler, Food and Beverage Manager, seasonal local produce will showcase the best of the region at each restaurant.

Infinity will be the resort’s premium dining offering with an Asian fusion menu, open for lunch and dinner with expansive views over the Whitsundays. It also has a private Teppanyaki Suite offering diners an unforgettable dining experience.

Graze Interactive Dining will welcome the outdoors in with draping greenery and floor to ceiling glass windows overlooking the Living Reef. It will be an interactive marketplace with live cooking stations and diverse dining options.

Inkstone Kitchen and Bar will focus on modern Australian cuisine with local produce and Australian native flavours at the heart of the menu.

The island will offer a revitalised pool landscape that will wind through the tropical gardens across the resort allowing guests to swim and enjoy unparalled views across the Whitsundays Great Barrier Reef. The swimming hub will be complemented by poolside Barefoot Bar, inclusive of a new dining concept serving gourmet burgers, sliders, pork ribs and chicken wings with fresh smoothies, milkshakes, wine, beer and tropical cocktails.

The Living Reef, will be making its return to the island in an even bigger and better way, further cementing its eco-friendly and educational focus. The free form coral lagoon will wrap 200m around the central building and hold over 1.5 million litres of water. Guests will be able to join the team of marine biologists who live on the island and feed baby stingrays who live amongst over 100 species of marine fish, coral and invertebrates such as starfish, sea cucumbers and crabs. A new underwater observatory will also allow guests to view 4 metres below the water’s surface to watch the marine life in action. Kids will have the chance to become eco-warriors at Kids Club as they explore and learn about the Living Reef while playing and feeding the animals who call it home, amongst a range of other activities around the island.

The resort will have a host of activities for guests to experience such as snorkeling adventures, helicopter tours exploring the island & surrounding Great Barrier Reef Marine Park as well as sailboat and jetski hire. The resort will also feature an expansive pool, coral beaches, outdoor cinema, gym facilities and unlimited access to non-motorised water activities. An exclusive adult’s only area will cater to those in search of a sanctuary and a little slice of peace and quiet.

Daydream Island Resort will become a sought after destination for major events and weddings, with capacity for the island to be completely booked for private events. Special events from cocktail parties to gala dinners can be catered for across a large range of indoor and outdoor event locations. Guests visiting the island for conferences will have access to the latest technology audio visual equipment across three dedicated conference rooms.

Daydream Island is currently taking bookings from 10th April, 2019 onwards, to book please contact the reservations team at reservations@daydreamisland.com or visit daydreamisland.com.

Amazing Penthouse with Whitsundays lifestyle
The view from the apartment is absolutely stunning. The apartment itself is also very well presented, clean, spacious, and luxurious. The four of us enjoyed our time at the apartment and it would easily accommodate 4-6 guests. Communication was simple and instructions were clear. It is worth noting that the proximity from the city centre isnt far, and the walk to and from the apartment can be done, but the hill climb on the way back up is a big one (our 60 yo mother was able to do it). Though this hill climb offers spectacular views over the bay and means you are out of the hustle and bustle.

Luxury Airlie Beach Home with Panoramic Ocean Views
We had an absolutely amazing time. The house is beautifully designed and spacious. The view from the living room and outdoor area is absolutely breath taking and private making you feel like you have your own slice of paradise. We loved this location as it felt very central with a short drive to Airlie beach, delicious restaurants and all the many attractions and activities the Whitsunday has to offer.

Amazing Penthouse with Whitsundays lifestyle
It was a beautifully presented and clean place to stay with amazing views. The roof top terrace with your own pool and outdoor area was definitely a stand out! So quiet and had everything we needed. I loved waking up and walking out to look all over Airlie Beach. Will be staying here again for sure.

Shutehaven Beach House with Ocean Views.
We had the most wonderful stay in Shutehaven! The house was beyond gorgeous, decorated beautifully, and had everything we needed for a 9 night stay. We could not stop talking the whole stay about how beautiful the house and views were. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need for cooking big meals to eat on the balconies with the most beautiful views you could ever hope for. The beds were very comfy and the pool was fantastic. Whitsunday Vacations were more than fantastic with communication and organised all the baby items we needed for my 11 month old. They organised an early check in and were very attentive when it came to communication and a home visit regarding a potential cyclone. The owner clearly takes pride in her home and it shows. As Canadians, we loved the little Canada magnet on the fridge :) Thank you for having us, we can't wait to stay here again in the future. If you're thinking about booking here, don't think twice!

"High Tide" - Whitsundays Beachfront Accommodation
High Tide is an awesome place for a vacation. Our host Paul was very welcoming and helpful in showing us around the house. Our only suggestion is to make sure all air cons are in working condition specially if you are visiting in the hot summer months of Jan. We had the air con in the dining and kitchen not working and it got quite hot in that area. Apart from that it’s a very special place with spectacular views and a lovely pool. The rooms are very well equipped with both air cons and fans and the cupboards have good storage space. We enjoyed making breakfast and dinners in the fully equipped kitchen and the washing machine and dryer also were put to good use. The lounge areas are perfect to bring the whole family together in one place. And the infinity pool was hard to get the kids out of.All in all we enjoyed our stay at high tide and left with a very heavy heart.

Relax & Daydream at 2 Elementa
We had an incredible stay at Elementa. We stayed 4 nights in total and were very sad to leave come the end of the trip.It is rare that photos undersell the breathtaking views, and this is one of those places.It was a very peaceful stay, the pool we pretty much had to ourselves most of the time. The views from the rooms and balconies were incredible.In terms of value for money, this place is also very much worth the stay! We highly recommend!
