The perfect location to enjoy your honeymoon or special vacation… This will be one of the most private holidays you have had....... We tread softly, conscious that man has been here for only a brief moment. For it was 185 million years ago, driven by powerful currents in the earths mantle, that the ancient continent of Gondwana started to break apart. Eventually a massive lifeboat was cast adrift carrying a precious cargo of unique plants and animals. This is Australia and it is still drifting Northwards at the great speed of 60 kilometres every million years. Unlike Gondwana, most of Australia has become dry and arid. There is this small area near Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, where today you will find the remnant rainforests of Gondwana. Thala Beach Lodge is located on the northernmost headland of a 2km stretch of untouched coastline. The views from our restaurant are panoramic, taking in the Far North Queensland coast from Double Island to Cape Tribulation, and from the sparkling waters of the Great Barrier Reef to the World Heritage Forests that cover our coastal ranges. Your room is nestled among the naturally existing Eucalypt forest, which has been preserved carefully during construction. We have a wide range of forest types, which provide habitats for some extraordinary Birds, Plants and animals. All buildings are up in the tree canopy, providing a magical and unobtrusive relationship with the natural world surrounding them. Thala is located 10 minutes, by regular shuttle, from Port Douglas. All tours in the Cairns, Port Douglas area pick up at the Lodge. All local specialist tours can be arranged for you after arrival. Thala Beach Lodge provides a natural and secluded environment for your relaxation, and is a tranquil haven at the end of a hard days exploring. Whether strolling at sunrise on our private tropical beach or relaxing with cocktails watching the sunset over the coastal ranges, you will be enchanted by your surrounds. Enjoy fine food surrounded by uninterrupted views for 110 kilometers. Dine among the birds in the surrounding treetops. Experience the tastes of the tropics surrounded by its splendor. A remarkable vista studded by Coral islands, reefs and mountain ranges. The 'Masked Plover' bar is open throughout the day and evening for your pleasure. Overlooking our pool and the majestic expanse of our coast and rainforests. Our main Pool is located on the crest of the Headland that is the location for Thala's central complex. This stunning pool features waterfalls, spas and grottos for that late night romantic swim, or just to recline on the edge of the water and gaze out over the ocean. Secluded among the gardens is the `Rock Pool` a smaller and more intimate swimming pool for guests looking for a quiet grove in which to relax. Thala is an area exceptionally rich in habitat diversity, making it one of the best places on the coast for bird watching. We also have a wonderful variety of Queensland's Tropical Butterflies. Thala's gardens are a thriving habitat for many of our local small marsupials, amphibians, and smaller reptiles. Feel free to ask the staff about the `critters` you may see in and around the Lodge. Thala hosts a wonderful display of works by local artists. Beautiful canvasses grace the walls of the Main Complex and we invite you to browse our exclusive gallery. An exclusive luxury haven surrounded by over 2 km of private sandy beaches and sheltered coves.
