Secluded yet cosmopolitan, it’s delightfully reminiscent of the colonial clubs of a bygone era while promising
personalised attention and sophisticated service. Situated in the heart of stunning Palm Cove, an idyllic

Framed by Fuchsia flowers, Bougainvillea vines and fragrant Frangipani trees, the whitewashed and timber
shuttered Reef House Spa could be described as “plantation style meets cosmopolitan chic”. Spa
treatments combine the wisdom of Aboriginal spirituality and healing methods, with aromatherapy and
herbalist principles to produce powerful experiences for the body and soul.
Each treatment begins with a soothing footbath and the ritual of ‘smudging’ – where barks and flowers are
burnt to cleanse the area of negative energies – and end with an invitation to relax in the peaceful lounge.
King sized beds flowing with linen netting frame the expansive rooms and suites. Balconys overlook either
the Bougainvillea draped pools and waterfalls,
the sea or the tranquil tropical gardens.
