About Palm Cove

There are few times in the world when natural and man-made ingredients are mixed together with a gentle hand to create a special location that for some is the mirror of paradise.

Palm Cove, in Tropical North Queensland Australia, is one of these unique locations - a glorious beachside community bursting with fun activities and luxury Palm Cove Accommodation suited to both domestic and international holiday makers.

Still managing to retain a relaxed beachside atmosphere with sensitive levels of low rise development in amongst the ancient Melaleuca trees on one side of the esplanade and the palm trees and other native trees providing the ambience and shade on the beach front, tourists just love coming to this safe little village for some relaxation with their families and loved one’s.

Although Palm Cove and some of the other Cairns Beaches locations like Trinity Beach are often compared to Noosa Australia but without the surf we believe they are a bit better for the visitor as they offer more diversity, and a more relaxing laid back serenity while still having the normal tourist attractions and facilities to complete a holiday.

Palm Cove Location

Palm Cove is situated in a central location between Cairns and Port Douglas with easy access to all of the sightseeing, tours, attractions and beachfront restaurants.

This village is just a 25 minute car ride north from the Cairns international and domestic airport, and 45 minutes south from the also very popular holiday township of Port Douglas in Queensland Australia.

When staying in Palm Cove you may not even have a need for a hire car as all of the local tour operators will pick you up from your holiday accommodation to take you out on trips to see the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest attractions 365 days of the year.

If you are a bit of an independent adventurer then you could either hire a car straight from the airport or just relax for a couple of days at your resort and then maybe hire a car just for a day or two of exploring the region on your own time at your own pace. 

Palm Cove is suited to all demographics with the more budget style family holiday accommodation in resorts with lots of swimming pools and facilities to keep the younger more active children amused to the more luxurious 5 star beachfront hotels for the more mature couples looking for a quiet hideaway to just relax and enjoy.

You will not find any cheap accommodation as such in Palm Cove as it is a true international resort location but you will find at various times of the year some really great value budget holiday packages that may include not just a serviced apartment at a great price but also some tours of your choice bundled into the deal at greatly discounted prices. 

Palm Cove holiday homes are very popular with wedding groups or large family groups and we can normally find some to suit that are either side by side or very close together so that socialising and meal times can be shared amongst the holiday homes easily.

Palm Cove Weddings

You are just about guaranteed to see a beachfront wedding at least once a day in Palm Cove as couples are attracted by the year round balmy weather, the beauty of the mountainous backdrop against the beach, the beachfront resorts and restaurants and the reputation of the local wedding suppliers passion bringing them here like bees to honey. There is a choice of beachfront chapels or rainforest chapels and you can even have fireworks on the beach at night to herald your union to one and all within hearing distance.   

Your arrival to your wedding ceremony can be as spectacular as a helicopter landing on the beach, or a beautifully romantic horse and cart ride down along the beach esplanade or simply traditional in a luxury sedan, stretch limousine or hummer.

The team at Cairns Holiday Specialists are always on hand to assist you with any of those extra details or questions you may have so don’t be afraid to give them a call and ask for assistance at any time.  

Palm Cove Conferences

There are varying levels of accommodation and there are varying capacities of conference centres and conference rooms that are suitable to accommodate either a small meeting or a rather large incentive group and the resorts and hotels that specialise in this area are all located in prime beachfront locations on the esplanade of Palm Cove making it easy for delegates to stay anywhere in the village and be within walking distance to the conference venue.

Conference days are filled with lectures, presentations, slideshows and trade shows so it’s always nice to be attending a conference in a destination that offers wonderful weather and the convenience and safety of this little village to ensure your delegates are stimulated and motivated in an attractive environment to get them motivated.

There is another great website for those that are considering Palm Cove as their company’s next conference destination and again it is a free service where your conference details can be planned and all of your hotel and resort bookings arranged along with all of your pre-post touring.

Call the Cairns Holiday Specialists and talk to them about organising your next conference in Palm Cove and the Great Barrier Reef.
