A world away from the backpacker hostels and souvenir shops of downtown Cairns, yet only 20 minutes by limousine from Cairns International Airport, 21 The Beach Club is an elegant 3-bedroom self-contained apartment within a fully appointed landmark resort complex. In just a few paces from the verandah of this stylish ground floor apartment, you can dip into the formal pool and spa, or into the expansive sandy lagoon pool to order a cocktail from the swim-up bar. For those wanting a little more privacy, a secluded rainforest pool is tucked away amongst lush tropical foliage where only the sound of water spray breaks the serenity. Palm Cove’s main street, Williams Esplanade is a slow-paced shared zone which is a mecca for pedestrians, parents with prams, cyclists, joggers, grand limousines and the occasional adventure tourist in need of cultural and sensory revival. While a long stretch of cafes, restaurants and boutiques adorn one side of the esplanade, the other offers a breathtaking view of the sparkling Coral Sea and Double Island framed by legendary swaying palm trees.
