The Living Reef, a 200-meter coral lagoon housing over 100 marine species, includes an underwater observatory and interactive touch pools. Guests can dine at Graze Interactive Dining, featuring international dishes and live cooking stations, or relax at the swim-up Barefoot Bar. The resort features three pools, coral beaches, non-motorized water activities, and guided snorkel tours. A tour desk arranges excursions to Whitehaven Beach and the Great Barrier Reef. Boat transfers are available from the Port of Airlie via Cruise Whitsundays, with Hamilton Island Airport a 30-minute ferry ride away.
