Northern Queensland's most exciting designer hotel, restaurant, bar and spa, QT Port Douglas, is going troppo in preparation for the busiest tourist season of the year. The arrival of High Season brings a forecast of sunny skies and a pleasant 25°C average from June through to December, meaning it's prime time for a tropical 'vacay'!

According to statistics provided by Tourism Tropical North Queensland, the region attracts over 900,000 visitors to its lush green shores each year -420,000 of whom make their way to the township of Port Douglas. While domestic travel to the region has waned slightly over the last 12 months, international visitorship to Port Douglas has grown by 19.8%.

To better encourage migration north this year, QT Port Douglas has just released the Ultimate Family Escape…starting from $357 per room per night for two adults and two children. The package includes a five-night sojourn in a QT Two Bedroom Villa, arrival cocktails and mocktails, welcome pool toy gifts for the kids, daily breakfast and a dinner at Bazaar Marketplace, plus a family pass to Wildlife Habitat, Port Douglas!

Bringing charm to the local spa terrain, the hotel's spaQ cleverly fuses colour and quirk to mirror the vivacious tropical vibe of Port Douglas. Offering a range of 'freshly picked' beauty and massage therapies for both men and women, spaQ is 'turning up the heat' for High Season with the day's top temperature discounted off the cost of your one hour treatment. So, if it's 26 degrees…$26 will be automatically discounted off the price of your treatment!

A true oasis of relaxation, there are ample reasons for guests to remain cool and content within the beautiful grounds of QT Port Douglas. Offering a large lagoon-style pool and chic lawn party atmosphere, and featuring pretty sun loungers and swim up bars, it's the ultimate place to relax al fresco both day and night…all soothed by our curated mix of lounge music beats. And for those perhaps seeking an even more mellow evening, a spot at the 300-seat outdoor resort cinema presented in partnership with Moonlight Cinemas provides just the ticket.

Of course for all our guests who can be enticed away from this ultimate design haven, the natural wonders of one of Australia's best coastal resort towns are on our very doorstep, including the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef and magnificent Daintree Rainforest.

There's never a more enticing time to visit Port Douglas than from June right through to end year…with QT providing the ultimate sanctuary base!
