Mali Mali

Port Douglas, Australia

This luxury self-catering hideaway, surrounded by the Daintree Rainforest, has been showered with awards and accolades. Built on the crest of a hill with panoramic views, it has four separate pavilions, one of which houses the kitchen, lounge, dining area and media room while the other three pavilions contain the bedrooms and their dazzling en suite bathrooms. A covered outdoor walkway, flanked by lily-strewn water gardens, connects the bedrooms to the main building. The massage pavilion is the perfect shady spot in which to curl up with a novel or indulge in a spa treatment. Ceilings throughout are open to the roof timbers, and with many glass walls which concertina fully open, they give Mali Mali a wonderfully airy atmosphere. The top of the hill has been literally lopped off to build the house which offers amazing views in every direction, including straight up: make full use of the telescope and lack of light pollution to do some serious star-gazing.
