The Experience

Spice at Oak is an absolute beachfront 4 bedroom Oak Beach holiday home where the Coral Sea meets the rainforest — and where every detail of the design tells a story.

An award-winning two-storey villa enclosed by rustic adobe rendered walls, entered through intricately carved vintage Indian doors, with Burmese teak floors, distressed ironbark columns, Moroccan limestone pavers and a hand-tiled 11.5-metre lap pool that won Best New Swimming Pool for Far North Queensland.

Just 10 minutes from Port Douglas and adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, Spice at Oak is one of the most distinctive beachfront holiday homes in the Oak Beach and Port Douglas region — managed by Luxury Holidays.

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.

Bedrooms & Sleeping Arrangements:
Master Bedroom:
Upper Level King carved bed. Ocean views. Bi-fold windows and doors open the entire room to the ocean — a rainforest treehouse feel when fully opened. Plasma TV and Foxtel. Large walk-in wardrobe. Air-conditioning and ceiling fan. Adjoins upstairs sunroom. Master ensuite with freestanding bath, shower, 2 hand basins, toilet and ceiling fan — bi-fold windows opening to the ocean.

Bedroom 2: 
King carved bed with vintage headboard. Pool views. Opens to garden courtyard via bi-fold doors. Vintage Rajasthani doors. Air-conditioning and ceiling fan.

Bedroom 3: 
King bed or two king singles (on request). Pool and surrounding rainforest views. Vintage Rajasthani doors. Bedside tables.

Bedroom 4: 
Queen fold-down Italian bed. Ocean and pool/garden views. Also configured as a studio/office with work table — ideal for remote workers or guests wanting a dedicated workspace.

Bathrooms: Main bathroom and laundry: indoor and outdoor hot and cold shower, hand basin, toilet, Vintage Rajasthani doors, washing machine, dryer, second larger sink and washing line outside.
Third bathroom (upstairs): shower, hand basin, toilet, Vintage Rajasthani doors.

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.

Great house to escape

We traveled halfway around the world to have a wonderful tropical vacation in this beautiful house. The house is designed to really be comfortable and allow every essence of the beach to flow through it. We should be returning in the future.

Why they chose this property

Oak Beach sits in a rare sweet spot between Port Douglas and the Daintree Rainforest — one of the few places on earth where two World Heritage areas, the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics rainforest, meet at the water's edge. It's an uncommercialised, palm-fringed stretch of coastline that feels genuinely secluded, yet Port Douglas dining, reef tours and markets are just 15 minutes away. For guests who want the beauty of Far North Queensland without the crowds, Oak Beach delivers something the main tourist strips simply can't.

What makes this property unique

Spice at Oak is an absolute beachfront 4 bedroom Oak Beach holiday home where the Coral Sea meets the rainforest — and where every detail of the design tells a story. An award-winning two-storey villa enclosed by rustic adobe rendered walls, entered through intricately carved vintage Indian doors, with Burmese teak floors, distressed ironbark columns, Moroccan limestone pavers and a hand-tiled 11.5-metre lap pool that won Best New Swimming Pool for Far North Queensland.
