There’s so much natural beauty, it can be hard to take your eyes off of it. Start planning your island getaway by taking a look at some of the dreamy destinations in the Whitsundays.

Daydream Island

We couldn’t not start with this one, really, could we? Daydream Island is home to the Daydream Island Resort and Spa, making it one of the most accessible islands in the Whitsundays. Experiences on offer include water sports, movie screenings at the open-air cinema, swimming in the one of the pools, relaxing in the Rejuvenation Spa, and exploring the Living Reef – a manmade outdoor aquarium where you can hold a baby shark, meet clownfish and marvel at over 50 varieties of coral.

Whitehaven Beach

One of the most popular beaches in the world for its white silica sand and clean aqua waters, Whitehaven Beach is a must-visit for anyone in the Whitsundays. Stretching seven kilometres along Whitsunday Island – the largest of all the islands in the Whitsundays, it has won multiple awards over the years for its breath-taking beauty. To enjoy this piece of paradise, simply stroll along the beach with the sand massaging your feet and you’ll never want to leave.

Hook Island

With an enticing ruggedness and deep sea diving, Hook Island is adventure in its truest form. The island is almost entirely national park and boasts diverse coral for amazing snorkelling, Aboriginal cave shelters, walking tracks, camping and a wilderness resort.
