Adults only Accommodation in Port Douglas
Shantara Resort Port Douglas – Adults only
Booking.comImages open in Agoda
Shantara Resort in Port Douglas is entirely adults only and has fantastic reviews from thousands of travellers.
It’s in a convenient spot, within walking distance from the beach, town, bars and restaurants as well as the option to book apartments with all the facilities you need to cook your own meals.
For the ultimate treat book one of just four special ‘Shantara Apartments’ (booking.com) to have both pool access + private courtyard hot tub!
*Note, despite the confusing ‘couples only’ text on the front of the website I checked with the resort directly and they said solo adult travellers are also more than welcome to stay and enjoy this adults only resort.
Peninsula Boutique Hotel

The adults only Peninsula Boutique hotel is in a great location across a small road from the beach and right in town so its the best of both worlds! Enjoy being close to local restaurants and shops and then return to the peace and quiet of your adults only hotel a very short walk away.
Its tiered pools mean you can find your own quiet corner to relax, read a book and enjoy a child free environment.

Turtle Cove Beach Resort – LGBTQIA+ Adults Only 18+
Images open in Agoda
Not to be confused with the dedicated child-friendly turtle beach resort, Turtle Cove Beach Resort is a one-of-a-kind space in a lush tropical location.
Turtle Cove Beach Resort describes itself as “catering to the Adults Only Resort LGBTQIA & ALLIES community and providing a safe, friendly, enjoyable and socially inclusive Adults Only location in paradise!”.
This private and welcoming resort has many repeat visitors, great Tripadvisor and Boooking.com reviews and offers up a few more cheeky experiences than other resorts such as its private clothing optional beach. If you’re looking for a party holiday it’s also worth checking out their events page as they often have dedicated party weekends such as full moon parties and other festival events with DJs, artists and shows.
It’s also in a convenient location where you can access reef and Daintree rainforest tours or go on day trips in your own rental car.
