Thala Beach Lodge

A privately owned and certified five-star beach resort, the Thala Beach Lodge can be found on the southern end of Port Douglas approximately 16 kilometres away from Cairns in Queensland, Australia. Composed of mainly timber-based bungalows scattered across some 45 acres of woodland and beaches, the hotel resort is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful private beaches in the world.

The resort is a genuine natural environment and its management regularly seek to enhance that unique reputation by offering some very special complimentary activities like bird watching, done through the aid of an expert guide; nature walks of various kinds under the guidance of local naturalists; nature photography and slide presentations as coordinated by local-based professional photographers; and sky watching through a specialized Thala observatory, where visitors get introduced to Southern sky constellations. 

Even the 85 elegant rooms housed inside the Thala Beach Lodge have the natural environment as their focus when they were first built, providing the perfect complement to several modern amenities like air-conditioning systems, telephones, mini-bars, private verandas, bathrooms with separate showers and much more. Making use of beautiful timber woods combined with granite, the rooms have access to views of surrounding exotic trees, creating a unique atmosphere that is reflective of its natural environment. 

Approximately 38 kilometres away from the northern end of Cairns, the Thala Beach Lodge continues to nurture a natural environment reminiscent of an ancient Australian land centuries ago. Conveniently located between Port Douglas and Palm Cove, the resort has allowed the free growth of grass trees along its pathways, a truly unique, but effective approach, especially in attracting visitors who have a special preference for natural surroundings.

Should its tourists want to experience a truly natural environment experience, arrangements with Thala Beach Lodge for possible transfers going to and coming from the nearby Cairns Airport is recommended. The same thing goes for day trips to several nearby Cairns attractions like the Outback and the Great Barrier Reef.
