Luxury Port Douglas accommodation awaits you at Thala Beach Lodge Australia. Thala Beach Lodge is the only 5 star luxury hotel located on a private headland between Cairns and Port Douglas. The resort offers eco friendly accommodation options that are sensitively positioned amongst the resort's 145 acre property. Unique on site experiences are included in the room rate to make your stay with us extra memorable. Rainforest backs onto Thala's private beach frontage providing a natural setting for guests to relax in nature while still being within easy access of The Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, Port Douglas and the Daintree Rainforest.
Sandpiper Suite is privacy and romance with a view that follows the decent of dunes on to a long golden stretch of a beach lapped by the Coral Sea. It perches on the southern most point of the headland with views of small islands and an unbroken horizon. Perched on the headland Sandpiper is privacy and romance at the edge of one of the world’s natural treasures, The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Luxuriously furnished, Sandpiper has a private verandah, lounge and spacious bedroom, living area and large balcony overlooking our two secluded beaches.
Coral Sea Bungalows offer the ultimate in what Thala’s environment has on display. They follow the higher ridges of the headland and look through and over the top fringes of the forest canopy to a spectacular view over the ocean yet are unobtrusively tucked away into the natural landscape. From the seclusion of your verandah you might see Ospreys, Bryde’s whales or a pod of rare Australian Snub Fin Dolphins that are resident and commonly seen in this area. Each day is different. Our Coral Sea Bungalows are exciting both in their location and their style.
Thala’s Eucalypt Bungalows capture the intimate feel of our unique tropical forest. Tropical birds often rest in the treetops directly off the balcony. Eucalypt Bungalows are individually placed and border the paths as they rise up the headland through Eucalypt forest. The rise affords height for the verandahs that are perfect for watching for birds and butterlies as they settle and feed in the forest canopy. There is a priviledged feeling of intimacy with our unique tropical forest and it’s inhabitants. Recent guests commented that on their first morning they drew the curtains to behold the treetops at their balcony’s edge festooned with colourful Rainbow Lorikeets and numerous Honeyeaters. The colourful spectacle took their breath away. They described their Eucalypt Bungalow as the world’s most luxurious bird hide!
Jungle Walk Bungalows capture the intimate feel of the unique woodland forest, are finished in subtle natural colours, and located deep within the forest furthest from the main lodge area. Tracks through the vine forest and birding paths are within easy access. Jungle Walk Bungalows accommodate 2 people.
