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.
Thala Beach Nature Reserve
The rooms and suites at Thala Nature Reserve are designed to blend in with the natural surroundings and furnished in a contemporary style to ensure maximum comfort.

The restaurant at the lodge is idyllically situated with spectacular views of the coast and the Great Barrier Reef. Featuring a seasonal menu inspired by freshly sourced produce and traditional Australian cuisine, Ospreys Restaurant is a popular dining destination for locals and travellers alike.
