With pristine wilderness, total tranquillity, superb golf courses and a wealth of activities including the magnificent underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef, this is a magnetic destination for travellers of all ages and all walks of life.

Port Douglas is just an hour's drive from Cairns and is the gateway to the area. A winning combination of a cosmopolitan township and a friendly village, it has world class resorts and shopping, award winning restaurants and superb galleries and craft stores. Since marine tourism was first pioneered in the 1970's, Port Douglas has been a popular departure point for day and extended trips to the Great Barrier Reef.

Today, it is also the starting point for 4WD safari tours to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation National Parks and beautiful, serene Mossman Gorge. All tours can be either pre-booked prior to arrival, once at The Meridian, the staff will be able to assist you with the many options that you have to select from.

Port Douglas sits on an isthmus beside the sparkling waters of Dickson Inlet and the rolling waves of the Coral Sea. Overlooking 'Port', as everyone calls it, is Flagstaff Hill, which is the best place to capture the striking views of the town and its superb Four Mile Beach.
