The quaint fishing village of Port Douglas is located a mere one hour’s drive from Cairns, in one of Australia’s most sought-after regions. Hugged by the Wet Tropics rainforests on one side and the Great Barrier Reef on the other, Port Douglas is situated in the only place in the world where two UNESCO heritage sites touch.
The town itself boasts 5,000 locals, though the infrastructure sustains many times more during the peak tourist season. Port Douglas has often served as a hideout for the world’s rich and famous, and it’s not uncommon to see international celebrities dining out in the city centre. People who holiday here are drawn by the unexpected mix of excellent infrastructure in a quaint environment.
