Opening directly off the Village Square, The Village Resort heralds a new era in Australian Resorts. Designed with both enjoyment and investment in mind, The Village Resort will be the choice of both Australian and International tourists for their tropical holiday in Palm Cove. With its unbeatable location linking directly into The Village Centre, and to Palm Cove beach, and its central feature being an enormous 100 metre long lagoon swimming pool facing due north, The Village Resort is a designer holiday destination that can be enjoyed by all.

With the flexibility of dual key apartment configuration, The Village Resort not only caters comfortably for couples and families, but also provides a great opportunity for owners to effectively double the income potential of their investment.

Arriving at The Village Resort is certainly a grand affair – as most holiday makers will attest, first impressions are important.

Only 20 minutes from Cairns International Airport, guests turn into the new main entry to Palm Cove – Palm Cove Boulevard. Passing Argentea and turning into The Village Way, The Village Resort will be the first resort when arriving in Palm Cove.

Resort arrival is via the spectacular coconut plantation with a view down the lawn to the Porte Cochere and Grand Loggia, the first impression of guests as they cross the cobblestone entry.

The Village Centre

The Village Centre will create a new town heart in Palm Cove.

The architecture of The Village Centre has been inspired by the quintessential villages of the world – Italy’s Cinque Terra or the Mexican Riviera’s Puerto Vallarta – creating an ‘old town’ centre with paved pedestrian laneways linking individual shops, sun-drenched piazzas, covered cloistered walkways and huge urn fountains.

The Village Centre is surrounded by rainforest, creeks and over 3 kilometres of boardwalks and bicycle tracks with a direct pedestrian link onto Palm Cove beach.

The main feature of The Village Centre is the Village Square. With its huge central feature fountain some 7 metres in diameter and 3 metres tall, the Village Square is not only the meeting space of The Village, but also designed as the venue for main concerts.

With four restaurants fronting the Village Square and seating over 400 diners, the cobblestone square will be a hive of activity by day and night.

The cooling sounds of the urn water fountain by the heat of the day is brought to life at night as they become gas flamed cauldrons of fire dancing on the water and lighting the walls of the buildings surrounding the Village Square, providing a truly romantic atmosphere.
