now fully recovered and refurbished after Tropical Cyclone Debbie, there’s good reason to return to the Whitsundays haven of Daydream Island Resort early next year.
AN ISLAND PARADISE
After a $100 million redevelopment, the 4.5-star resort will offer the very best in island accommodation for couples and families. Couples might want to book into the expansive Serenity Suite, which offers a spectacular Lovers Cove view and has a luxurious king-sized bed, separate living area, and balcony. Families wanting space and privacy can opt for interconnecting rooms, with balconies offering incredible views. There will be a revitalised new pool landscape allowing guests to swim and enjoy unparalleled views across the Great Barrier Reef. Choose to lounge by the pool or indulge in a cocktail from the poolside bar while taking a dip.
ACTIVITIES GALORE
With the Great Barrier Reef as your playground, guests can choose to explore it by sea, by air or just sit back and take in the view. You can go on a snorkelling adventure at any time of the day or explore the island and surrounding Great Barrier Reef Marine Park by helicopter, sailboat or jetski. The Kids Club is a haven for children, with an exciting
range of activities
on offer each day. The exclusive adults-only areas cater to those in search of a sanctuary.
NATURE ABOUNDS
Guests will be able to join a team of marine biologists who live on the island to feed baby stingrays that live among more than 100 species of marine fish, coral and invertebrates – such as starfish, sea cucumbers and crabs – in Daydream Island’s Living Reef, made up of free-form coral lagoons within the resort. There will be an education centre for kids to learn more about the Great Barrier Reef, with an underwater viewing platform and turtle rehabilitation centre.
A FEAST FOR ALL
The range of dining options is diverse, offering guests the perfect break in between activities or a fitting end to an extraordinary day. The emphasis is on relaxed dining that enhances the Daydream holiday mood. An exciting Asian fusion restaurant has been added to the collection of dining venues that consist of buffet and modern Australian restaurants.
