Why You'll Love It:
One of only a handful of absolute beachfront properties on this stretch of the Coral Sea — Oak Beach is pristine, private and known to a select few, yet just 10 minutes from Port Douglas; for guests searching for a beachfront holiday home near Port Douglas, this is as good as it gets
The award-winning 11.5-metre hand-tiled lap pool won Best New Swimming Pool for Far North Queensland — with cabana, a poolside shower and toilet, and a queen swinging daybed, it's a self-contained outdoor sanctuary
Burmese teak floors, distressed ironbark columns and beams, Moroccan limestone pavers, polished concrete benchtops and vintage ships' brass lighting create interiors that no standard holiday home can replicate
The gourmet kitchen is a genuine chef's setup — induction hob, dedicated gas wok burner, two ovens, massive island bench facing the beach and a fully equipped butler's pantry with its own fridge/freezer and sink
A self-catering holiday at Spice at Oak is effortless — the entire villa opens completely to the elements via bi-fold doors and windows, the ocean breeze moves through every room, and the beach is just steps from the tropical garden
Day trips to the Great Barrier Reef depart from Port Douglas marina — one of the closest reef departure points in Far North Queensland, with Mossman Gorge and the Daintree Rainforest also within easy reach
Living, Dining & Entertaining:
The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining areas sit at the heart of Spice at Oak, opening completely to the beach via bi-fold doors and windows. The lounge features an oversized sofa, oversized coffee table, plasma TV with Foxtel and a sound system that extends through the house and into the cabana.
The gourmet kitchen faces the ocean — a massive island bench, separate dining bench with barstools, servery bench opening to the pool area, induction hob, gas wok burner, two ovens, dishwasher and fridge freezer.
A fully equipped butler's pantry with its own bench, sink and separate fridge/freezer keeps the main kitchen entirely uncluttered. The reading alcove adjoining the courtyard and pool, cushioned with handcrafted tribal cushions, is the kind of space guests disappear into for hours.
The upstairs outdoor sunroom adjoins the master suite and is roofed but open at the sides, with timber weather shields for cooler evenings. Furnished with lounge, armchairs and an oversized dining table, with its own sound system and outstanding views over the palm canopy and across Oak Beach, it functions as a private upper-level retreat throughout the stay. The beachside fireplace adds a further dimension to evenings outside — a feature rarely found in any Far North Queensland holiday home at any price point.

Outdoor Living & Location:
The outdoor spaces at Spice at Oak are the soul of the property — an award-winning 11.5-metre hand-tiled lap pool and fully equipped cabana with queen swinging daybed, sun loungers, deck chairs, speakers, shower and toilet, framed by coconut palms and the sound of the Coral Sea. The entire compound is enclosed by rustic adobe walls and entered through carved vintage Indian doors, creating a sense of privacy that is rare on any stretch of Far North Queensland coastline.
Oak Beach is a pristine sanctuary — an endless stretch of coconut-palm fringed white sand where the ocean meets the rainforest, known to a select few yet just 10 minutes from vibrant Port Douglas and 40 minutes from Cairns International Airport. It's the kind of Far North Queensland beachfront accommodation that feels genuinely remote — so secluded that guests can walk the beach without seeing another soul — yet close enough to world-class dining, reef tours and boutique shopping.
The Luxury Holidays concierge can arrange day trips to the Great Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge and the Daintree Rainforest throughout your stay.
