About Thala Beach Nature Reserve

A locally owned nature resort positioned between Cairns and Port Douglas, the Thala Beach Nature Resort sits within an exclusive 145-acre swathe of native forest and pristine tropical beachfront on the Coral Sea. Here, you can dine amid the treetops at the resort’s Osprey’s Restaurant before lounging on virgin sands, swimming in the sea or trekking through the biodiverse forest surrounds. Complimentary activities at Thala Beach Nature Reserve unveil the natural world, from guided hikes to track down local wildlife to marvelling at a night sky blazing with stars from the custom-built observatory – this is your opportunity to reconnect with nature.

Osprey’s Restaurant offers a world-class dining experience; tucked into the canopies, enjoy fresh, local flavours and seasonal ingredients accompanied by breathtaking views over the Coral Sea and rainforest-clad mountains that surround Thala Beach Nature Reserve. The deluxe, timber-built eco-accommodation options lie scattered throughout the greenery, merging harmoniously with the setting. What’s more, the resort offers a private-access beach for guests to experience a secluded environment to relax in. From here, not only can you roam the untouched wilderness that enfolds the resort, but you’ll also be within reach of the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef, two of Queensland’s and Australia’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
