As you descend towards Cairns International Airport you realise just how unspoilt this piece of tropical paradise really is. 25 minutes drive North of Cairns, where the lush tropical rainforest meets the aqua blue waters of the Coral Sea, is where you’ll find Novotel Rockford Palm Cove Resort.

A short stroll from the Resort will take you to the palm fringed beachside village of Palm Cove awarded 'Australia's Cleanest Beach 2003'. Palm Cove is a spa and dining paradise dotted with outdoor cafés, restaurants, bars, boutiques and convenience shops. The relaxed coastal village exudes an elegant atmosphere while fulfiling the requirements of your holiday wishlist.

With a backdrop of beautiful tropical landscaping and majestic melaleuca trees set alongside the water’s edge, it is possible to dream away the day over a lazy lunch overlooking the calm, tropical waters, or stroll along the beach that earned the award for Australia’s Cleanest Beach in 2003.
