Daydream Island Resort & Living Reef
About
Overview & Vibe
Daydream Island is a whole island resort in the Whitsundays, reached by ferry from Airlie Beach or Hamilton Island, with a Living Reef coral lagoon running through the middle of the property and beaches at both ends.
Setting & Style
The ceremony settings run from Lovers Cove — an intimate infinity deck on the ocean's edge inside a private rainforest setting — to the Chapel and its deck, and out onto the Island Lawns. Receptions then take the Infinity Restaurant, the Horizon Rooms, the Tidal Lounge or the Eclipse Room and Terrace, scaling from intimate gatherings of twenty through to celebrations of two hundred. Packages bundle venue hire, on-site coordination, styling and catering together, and because the whole island is the venue, guests fill their days snorkelling the Living Reef, taking a massage or working through the resort's three restaurants and cocktail bars. Wedding guests receive a 50% discount on ferry transfers.
