Tropical North Queensland Resorts

FOR stunning beaches and blue ocean vistas to offshore islands, Queensland's far north is hard to beat. This is where rainforest meets the reef, an enchanting holiday paradise. The resorts offer relaxing beach and tropical garden environments, where guests may enjoy relaxation, leisurely mealtimes, swimming pool and beach. One mustn't overlook the many scenic attractions of the region, with rainforest tours and island excursions. Cairns and Port Douglas are two of the top spots for resorts and hotels.

The tropical far north of Queensland stretches from Cairns right up to the northern tip of Australia on Torres Strait. Features of the region are verdant rainforests, white sandy beach coastlines, and blue ocean. The Great Barrier Reef - the world's largest living organism - runs parallel to the coastline and offers a stunning underwater playground for scuba divers, snorkellers and day-trippers in glass-bottom boats. Sailing is also popular.
