About the hotel

Treat yourself to a slice of tropical indulgence at this adults-only retreat and revel in more than 28 signature experiences and activities. Find your sunrise yoga flow on the beach, sample pina coladas at the cocktail masterclass and discover Palm Cove’s local history on an Indigenous cultural journey. Take a refreshing dip in the pool or indulge poolside with a bowl of tropical sorbet and toast your magnificent stay with a bottle of bubbles.

Swim at Palm Cove Beach, named in Condé Nast Traveller’s Best Beaches in the World for 2025, and make the most of your daily dining credit with a scrumptious lunch at the Reef House Restaurant before capping off the evening with nightly drinks and canapes at Brigadier’s Bar & Lounge.

Hugged by the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest on one side and the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef on the other, this award-winning boutique sanctuary is just steps from the white sands of Palm Cove Beach. Situated on Williams Esplanade, you’ll be at the heart of Palm Cove’s flavourful restaurants and retail boulevards.
