Outrigger Beach Club & Spa -Palm Cove by Susan Miles

Living up to its name, the Outrigger Beach Club and Spa is the ideal oasis when exploring the Reef and Rainforest of Northern Queensland.

Situated 20 minutes drive up the coastal highway from Cairns International Airport, this family friendly resort is nestled in the beachfront village of Palm Cove. Mirroring the features of the region, the resort offers a lush rainforest pool and waterfall and lagoon pool surrounded by a private beach. The water features continue into the range of suites and apartments, with both private balcony and rooftop spas. The atmosphere is one of peaceful relaxation for singles, couples and families alike.

For indoor activities, the resorts on site Sanctum Spa offers a selection of skin and body treatments, with a choice of treatments designed specifically for men and the first time spa visitor.

With a full service tour desk and the Palm Cove boat jetty (departure point for daily tours to Green Island and the Outer Reef) a 5-minute stroll from the resort, for those able to drag themselves away from the poolside swim up bar and their beachside deckchair, the wonders and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest are literally right on your doorstep.
