Thala Beach Nature Reserve
Port Douglas
Thatched bungalows in a private coastal nature reserve north of Port Douglas, set above a quiet beach.
Port Douglas is a small resort town in tropical Queensland, between a four-mile beach and a mountain-backed coast. It is the base for day trips to the outer reef and the Daintree Rainforest, and its boutique stays range from private villas near the beach to nature reserves and rainforest lodges farther north.
Where to stay
Stay in town for restaurants and the Sunday market; choose the coast north of town for beachfront retreats; or head up into the Daintree for treehouse-style lodges.
Good to know
The dry season (May to October) is the most comfortable; the wet season brings humidity and, from November to May, marine stingers in the sea. Reef operators have details on conditions.
