While each restaurant has its own unique cuisine and style, they all share the relaxed dining atmosphere synonymous with our island.

Along with the three restaurants there are also three bars across the island; Tonic Bar – spanning indoors from the Atrium out towards Living Reef, Tonic Bar is the island’s speciality Gin Bar offering a great place to meet or relax and enjoy the atmosphere, Barefoot Bar – centrally located amongst the lush gardens by the pool landscape.

The swimming hub is complemented by the 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 is the main centrepiece of the island which is a unique free form coral lagoon wrapping 200m around the central building and holding over 1.5 million litres of water. The Living Reef is home to over 100 species of marine fish, over 80 species of coral and a variety of invertebrates such as starfish, sea cucumbers and crabs.

Guests will have the option to join our team of resident marine biologists taking part in a guided fish feed tours, hand feeding baby stingrays or taking part with guided snorkelling adventures within the living reef.

Our new underwater observatory offers a unique aspect of the Living Reef which is 4 metres below the water’s surface where you can watch the marine life in action or take memorable photos of family and friends snorkelling.

The Living Reef further cements Daydream Island’s commitment as being eco-friendly whilst providing a strong educational program on the protection and conservation of the area’s native coral and marine life.
