Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat
A statement in harmonious design, Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat sits majestically just 5 km from the renowned Hayman Island Resort Seaplane Base and a short drive from Airlie Beach. Upon arrival, guests are greeted with lofty ceilings - an impressive 3.3 meters at their apex - and walls adorned with expansive windows that flood the space with the lush greenery of the rainforest surrounding the property. The striking juxtaposition of natural beauty and modern architecture envelops you in a sensory embrace. Signature features include an entertaining hall that spans 225 m², perfect for hosting a variety of events, from important corporate training sessions to festive family gatherings. As you explore deeper into the retreat, the inviting pool area beckons, while thoughtfully designed accommodations - each with a private patio - offer a tranquil retreat after a day spent in this stunning natural paradise.
Explore the Local Area
Kipara is ideally located in Jubilee Pocket, putting guests at the verge of Airlie Beach's vibrant scene. Just a stone's throw away, you can immerse yourself in the energetic local bar and restaurant landscape that thrives with options for every palate. A short trip to Boathaven Beach, just 2 km away, provides sun-soaked beaches and a walking path around the newly developed Beacons peninsula. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Conway National Park and the 2.5 km trek that leads to enchanting views from the Airlie Creek Track. Convenient access to the Whitsunday Transit bus stop right at the entrance of the retreat ensures your explorations can easily extend to the iconic Heart Reef, a breathtaking must-see, and the captivating Molle Islands, where you can walk across to Mid Molle Island at low tide.
