Thala Beach Nature Reserve

Thala Beach Nature Reserve is a deluxe, family-owned eco-retreat just 15 minutes south of Port Douglas. Nestled within 58 hectares of beachfront native forest, its 75 eco-designed bungalows are elevated on stilts, offering breathtaking views of the Coral Sea and lush surroundings. Perched atop a headland, Thala invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in nature. Experience the tranquility of an island escape without leaving the mainland, where dining among the treetops at Osprey’s Restaurant combines modern Australian cuisine with warm, open-air hospitality. Guests connect with the natural world through guided nature walks, bird and butterfly tours, and the Coconut Odyssey experience. As night falls, the magic continues with star-gazing, offering a breathtaking view of the southern night sky. A unique blend of nature, beauty, wilderness, and seclusion awaits.
