A beachfront hideaway nestled between tropical rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Kewarra Beach Resort & Spa is a secluded retreat, set in 33 acres of lush rainforest amongst a natural oasis of coastal lagoons attracting birds, butterflies, wallabies and resident monitor lizards, and sweeps all the way down to the private beach.

The freeform swimming pools are a focal point, set in the heart of the gardens. The main pool features a waterfall spa and secluded cove, and there’s a second seasonally heated rock pool ideal for a quiet swim. Wake to the sound of birdsong and begin your days with a relaxed breakfast at Paperbark restaurant, on the open-air terrace overlooking the beautiful gardens. The menu here focuses on fresh local produce, and there’s also a charming beach shack (seasonal) right on the water's edge.
