The sparking bays, secluded beaches and stunning rainforest are just some of the island's natural beauty that visitors to Daydream can expect to experience. Daydream Island has three fabulous beaches, with Sunlovers Beach fringed by live coral outcrops containing over 40 marine fish species and 50 coral varieties, the perfect location for hours of snorkelling and underwater exploration.

The highest point and centre of the island is a small, dense jungle of lush tropical vegetation inhabited by parrots and tiny sunbirds. Daydream is a peaceful and relaxing tropical tranquility surrounded by nature, in one of the world's most beautiful destinations.
