A recent visit to family-owned five star nature resort, Thala Beach Lodge, situated about 45 minutes north of the city of Cairns and just south of the village of Port Douglas, Australia, was a memorable experience that captures the essence of Tropical North Queensland. Thala’s open architectural style uses local stone, slate and timber creating a natural extension of the coconut grove, Eucalypt forest and the Coral Sea. There are mountain-view and ocean-view timber bungalows scattered among a hundred and forty five acre wooded headland along with secluded beaches making it one of the world’s most unspoiled beach locations. Thala is destination in itself where you can experience bird watching, nature walks, sky observatory, spa treatments, and culinary demonstrations. Or, take advantage of the courtesy transfers into Port Douglas to enjoy its natural attractions.The colorful birds, butterflies, charming tree frogs and stunning views of the ocean and mountains from tree-top, open-air Ospreys Restaurant are matched only by the scrumptious dishes prepared by chef Herbert Gerzer.

Tucked between The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and Australia’s World Heritage Tropical Forests, I can’t think of a more romantic honeymoon or destination wedding location than Thala Beach Lodge. Wedding coordinator, Angelique Schesser, can assist an engaged couple with venue options, meal and beverage choices, and legal requirement details for a seamless execution of the most important, most romantic day of a couple’s life. Whether strolling at sunrise on the private, secluded beach or relaxing with cocktails watching the sunset over the coastal ranges, Thala Beach Lodge is a tranquil haven of true luxury.
