The Best Port Douglas Resorts

Beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see, plus national treasures like the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest book ending on either side, there’s plenty to love about Port Douglas. Fortunately, there are plenty of Port Douglas resorts too, so you can make the most of your tropical getaway.

With a stunning, 3000m2, lagoon-style pool at the centre of the property, the Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa is a standout for relaxation and indulgence. Gaze at the serene water with a cocktail in hand, enjoy a fine meal at the resort restaurant, Aluco, and treat yourself to a visit to Vie Spa to feel restored and revived. 

For effortless access to the shimmering waters, book yourself into a swim-out apartment, where you can simply step off your balcony and into crystal waters for a tropical holiday in Port Douglas. Or consider one of the plunge pool apartments and enjoy your own private courtyard, pool, and outdoor barbeque area.

For the family looking for a beachside resort together, the Peppers Beach Club Port Douglas is perfect. Accommodation options include a range of suites and apartments so that everyone can enjoy their own space on holiday. Little ones can play in the shallows of the white sand of the man-made beach on-site, while you can lie back and bask in the sun on a lounge chair as you watch them. At dinner time, pop into the Koko Poolside Bar & Kitchen for fresh and local produce.

All apartments feature a private balcony or terrace with either garden or pool views. Why not wake up each morning with a coffee on the terrace while the kids sleep in (in their own room)?

If taking a dip or floating on calm water is your idea of a dream holiday, you’ll want to make sure you visit a place with plenty of options for swimming, like Mantra PortSea Port Douglas. Moments from the ocean and with three stunning pools on-site, the Mantra PortSea is perfect for water lovers visiting with a group or partner. Float on over to the swim-up Lagoon Bar, fly down the waterslide, or simply lie back on a deck chair by the pool.

For some, the ideal holiday combines resort-style relaxation as well as the convenience of being close to all the amenities in town. Enjoy a stay in Mantra in the Village Port Douglas, just metres from restaurants, boutiques, cafés, and everything else that makes Port Douglas a destination worth visiting. Four Mile Beach, the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest, and Mossman Gorge are all close by. All with a beautiful Tuscan-style outdoor pool so you can soak in the cool waters after a busy day exploring tropical Port Douglas.

Moments from Four Mile Beach and just a boat ride away from the Great Barrier Reef, Mantra Aqueous Port Douglas makes for the perfect home base by the ocean. Spend the day on the beach or exploring the Great Barrier Reef, then return to your accommodation and soak in the spa. With four lagoon pools and spas to choose from, as well as the option of a private balcony spa in your suite, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to plunge into the water and soak in those resort holiday vibes.
