About this property

Drift Beachfront Oasis: A Panoramic Resort Getaway

Summary:

Capturing panoramic views over the Esplanade towards the stunning Coral Sea, this blissful, beachfront apartment highlights a spacious balcony where you can dine and grill alfresco. Enjoy access to the resort facilities including a sparkling lagoon pool, shops, a day spa and gym. You’ll be surrounded by endless dining options, while at home you'll enjoy contemporary air-conditioned comfort with a fully-equipped kitchen, coastal chic living area, in-unit laundry and secure parking for two cars.



The Space:

Situated at Drift, this perfectly positioned apartment is just opposite the road of the palm fringed beach and the azure blue Coral Sea. Guests can make the most of the resort’s luxury amenities, while enjoying a spacious private haven back inside.



The apartment is bathed in natural light and has a spacious open plan design with a fully-equipped kitchen in the heart of the apartment. Whip up a meal and dine indoors or out on the balcony with a BBQ, outdoor table setting, and sun loungers. In the evenings, kick back between two full leather sofas in the lounge enjoying an HDTV. A comfortable dedicated workspace is provided for those who need to work remotely.



Three bedrooms accommodate up to six guests with the master featuring a king-sized bed facing a TV, an ensuite bathroom and a seating area where you can enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the sea. The second bedroom offers a queen-sized bed and direct access to the balcony, and the third bedroom has two single beds—which can be pushed together to make a king upon request. The bathroom highlights a double vanity and comes with a separate toilet and shower, while a powder room adds to your daily convenience.



Guests can also make use of an internal laundry, with both a washing machine and dryer, plus free parking for two cars onsite.



Guest Access:

During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves, as well as access to shared resort amenities. Please make yourselves at home!

It provides an idyllic base for exploring the area’s notable attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef, Wet Tropical World Heritage Area and Kuranda Village. Palm Cove boasts excellent cafes, boutique shopping and numerous day spas worth treating yourself at – in fact, Palm Cove has been dubbed the “Spa Capital of Australia.” Check out Vie Spa or Reef House Spa. Dine at lauded restaurant Nu Nu directly on the waterfront, and for brunch, tuck into the all-day menu at Vivo. From Palm Cove you can kayak to pretty Double Island, swim in the year-round warm waters, or explore the surrounding beaches Ellis Beach, Clifton Beach and Trinity Beach.
