Thala Beach Nature Reserve, Australia
Northern Queensland

Thala Beach Nature Reserve, Australia

Situated on the northernmost headland of a 2km stretch of untouched coastline on Oak Beach, Thala Nature Reserve is nestled among 145 acres of tropical rainforest, offering the perfect blend of a jungle eco-retreat and a beach hideaway. Beautifully secluded, Thala is just a fifteen-minute drive from the quaint seaside town of Port Douglas, which boasts a plethora of boutique shops, restaurants, and a marina from which many Great Barrier Reef cruises depart. We love that it is family-owned and offers the warmest of Aussie welcomes for nature lovers seeking a natural retreat in this unspoilt corner of Tropical North Queensland.
