We have just returned from a week in Port Douglas staying at Shantara resort. This was our second trip to PD so we knew what to expect from the area. We had stayed at Sea Temple last year so we were hoping that Shantara would be as good if not better. Shantara got the thumbs up! The resort is in... more

Shantara is a new small resort within walking distance to the main strip of Port Douglas. The resort itself is nicely appointed, extremely clean but not terribly private. Myself and partner stayed in a Shantara apartment for 7 nights which was well appointed. A little disappointed that a daily service is an addional extra, not so much the cleaning aspect,... more

Stayed at the Shantara in Port Douglas in late September / early October for 5 nights. Chose this resort because it doesn't cater for under 16's which was fabulous, and the excellent location - about a 6 or 7 minute walk to the beach and about a 10 minute easy walk to Macrossan Street. The Shantara is just over a... more

We have recently returned from 6 nights at the Shantara Resort. The resort is very nice and extremely well presented being built only a year ago. It was perfect for a relaxing stay and restricted to over 16 year olds so there was no kid noise. The resort is in an ideal location, close to Macrossan Street where the majority... more

We had 3 rooms for a week and all were spacious, clean, comfortable (especially the beds) and well kitted out. All the rooms overlook either one of the 2 pools. If you're looking for true peace and quiet (no kids) then this is the place for you, I've never slept so well away from home. The best parts of Shantara... more

I booked this Resort based on Trip Advisor reviews, and it was exactly how I imagined it. Conveniently located 2 blocks from the main drag and 2 blocks from the beach, this is the perfect place for you to enjoy your holiday in Port Douglas. From when you walk through the main reception, the open concept is nice and inviting.... more

From the moment my husband and l arrived at Shantara there was one wow after the other. It's so tastefully decorated, clean and it certainly matches up to the 5 star rating (from the towels to the china). The management Marianna, Luigi,Sarah and Daniel were so friendly and very helpful. The location was 5 mins from the 4 mile beach... more
