Architecturally designed, feel Niramaya's subtle energy and swim in its natural beauty. The fragrance of frangipani floats on the light breeze - through soaring pavilions, into private courtyards and over the lillipad dotted lakes. Niramaya, literally, rejuvenation of the body through returning oneself to nature, is a boutique sanctuary of exclusive villas set amongst 15 hectares of gardens in Australia's tropical north. Play a round at the private golf hole, have a workout in the gym, or unwind with a few laps in the 30m resort pool. For something more relaxing, disappear in the pages of a book or indulge in a soothing massage or facial. A short stroll leads to the coconut fringed sands of Four Mile Beach - and leads all the way to the chic village of Port Douglas where the region's famous cuisine, culture and character awaits.
