Palm Cove is a relaxing tropical village where centuries old “paperbark” Melaleuca trees line the esplanade and frame your views to the Coral Sea. There’s a sandy beach, restaurants and bars, boutiques and galleries.

A holiday in Palm Cove will be one to remember, in an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication surrounded by the stunning beauty of Tropical North Queensland. This location puts you front and center to the outstanding natural attractions of the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, and tours pick up straight from our doorstep.

In addition, there’s beautiful golf courses, kayaking around nearby islands, getting wet and wild with our water sports beach hire, visiting our nearby wildlife zoo, fishing off the jetty or just lazing around on the beach.

This tropical paradise is only a 25 minute drive north of Cairns city, but a world away with its own casual pace and beachside vibes, paired with everything you need for a fabulous tropical holiday in paradise.
