A sensitive, biodiverse resort for Port Douglas, and the first of the internationally renowned Fairmont Resort brand in Australia.
The jewel of the wet tropics, the UNESCO World Heritage sites – the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef – are at the heart of the design. Our vision for the luxury resort was to promote a seamless experience of immersion into the unique local landscape for guests and visitors. Our studio carefully curated a botanic journey to heighten the senses, whether by the pool, in the public indoor-outdoor spaces, or unwinding in their private suites.
Aligned to our vision, the elliptical and organic form of the balconettes
create an opportunity for flora and fauna integration. This commitment to
biophilic design principles was achieved through a multi-disciplinary approach,
working collaboratively alongside Durie Design and Accor’s design specialists
to bring the concept to life.
The luxury tourist resort will attract domestic and international guests,
offering 253 guest rooms with culinary offers, a rooftop poolscape and a luxury
spa. The feature venue space has been designed to capture the Port Douglas
sunset as the backdrop for weddings and milestone events.
