Description
Family owned Thala Beach Lodge, an eco and nature retreat near Port Douglas, sits spectacularly atop a headland with breathtaking views of untouched coastline. An island 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.
Deluxe timber bungalows are built high on stilts and nestle in the forest canopy providing an 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 World Heritage forests that cover their coastal ranges. Guests dine among the birds in the surrounding treetops whilst enjoying world-class fine food with friendly five-star service.
Paths meander through rainforests and woodlands that provide healthy habitats for extraordinary birds, plants and animals, and connect with private sandy beaches. All over the 145 acres of Thala Beach Lodge, guests find themselves in an unsurpassed enchanting, relaxing environment.
