Beyond the landscaped gardens and three swimming pools, there is direct access to Palm Cove Beach.
Amenity highlights: The Sea Temple Resort and Spa has direct access to Palm Cove Beach, and three swimming pools, including a lagoon-style pool and lap pool. Its full-service health spa has six treatment rooms and Vichy shower room, and there is also a fitness centre. Business amenities include a 163-square-metre meeting room and a forty-metre boardroom suitable for twelve people.
Insider tip: Palm Cove is one of the best-known beaches on the coast north of Cairns, but by no means the only one to be explored. Others within 10 km of Sea Temple Resort and Spa include Kewarra Beach, which has golden sands, and Trinity Beach, which lies between two headlands and is a good place to spy turtles and dolphins; its rock pools are also interesting.

Ergonomic and heated massage tables ensure the neck, spine, and leg muscles are cradled against any pressure points.
