Sixty-four 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. Palm Cove’s only absolute beachfront resort. Constructed in 1988 it is one of Palm Cove’s oldest buildings. The property undertook a full refurbishment in 2000 and a further refurbishment in 2004.

The resort and its furnishings have a strong Asian influence the sense of arrival is fabulous with a tented pavilion welcoming you. Upon arrival you are greeted with a cool revitalizing hand and face towel and a cool refreshing drink. The accommodation is very pleasant and extremely spacious. Each fully self contained apartment contains a full range of Miele appliances and kitchen equipment. Tiled floors in the main areas with warm wooden floors in the bedrooms, each Apartment has two bathrooms. This is a real plus especially in the one bedroom Apartments as there is a Male and Female bathroom, also the large white fluffy towels are magnificent.

The beachfront Apartments have a fabulous view through Palm trees and across Palm Cove Beach to the Coral Sea.

The multi award wining Angsana Resort and Spa Palm Cove is the real selling point of this resort. It is truly an amazing experience. Angsana has managed to employ it's Thai therapists from its sister property Banyan Tree Phuket. Each Therapist has trained in the Banyan Tree academy and is then seconded to Australia for a two year period. The very extensive menu is sensational and will truly satisfy any Spa Junkie.

Angsana Resort and Spa Palm Cove is Children friendly with pool toys supplied.

Far Horizons restaurant is located on absolute beachfront it would have to be one of the most romantic settings available. Sitting on the deck at Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner is a fabulous experience. At dinner time you dine under the stars and the Palm trees listening to the waves lapping on the beach. Beachfront BBQs take place under the palm trees in peak season.

Due to the restaurants incredibly romantic setting, its popularity for weddings is amazing this often results in the restaurant being fully booked on a Saturday evening leaving resort guests to source alternative dining options.
