Family owned Thala Beach Lodge, a five star nature and eco resort is located 45 minutes drive north of Cairns and 15 minutes south of Port Douglas. It sits spectacularly atop a headland with breathtaking views of untouched coastline and provides the perfect location to explore the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. Surrounded by water and presenting both a rainforest and a beach experience – it affords an island-feel holiday on the mainland!
At a time when there are great concerns about fragile environments, Thala proudly boasts that it has achieved the highest accreditation of eco certification through its sustainable practice and environmental sensitivity.
83 deluxe timber bungalows are built high on stilts and nestle in the forest canopy providing a magical and unobtrusive relationship with the natural world. All bungalows have views either to the ocean or the forested mountains. Time spent relaxing on the timber-decked verandahs is always well rewarded by sightings of birds, butterflies, possums and sugar gliders.
The views from the restaurant are panoramic, taking in the sparkling waters of the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage forests that cover our coastal ranges. Guests dine among the birds in the surrounding treetops whilst enjoying modern Australian cuisine with friendly five-star service.
Paths meander through rainforests and woodlands that provide healthy habitats for extraordinary birds, plants & animals, and connect with private sandy beaches. Delightful hours are spent discovering native flora & fauna, secluded coves and rock pools.
Guests also enjoy complimentary guided onsite tours led by passionate & informative staff including a unique coconut odyssey, tree planting, stargazing at an outdoor observatory, nature & wildlife walks and bird watching tours.
All over the 145 acres of Thala Beach Lodge, guests find themselves in an unsurpassed enchanting, relaxing environment that truly captures the diverse essence of North Queensland.
