Official star rating:
Once known as a haunt for the rich and famous – celebrity guests have included Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger and Leonardo DiCaprio – the Mirage has been reborn as an elegant tropical hideaway.
Since joining the Sheraton group, the famous resort, which is surrounded by 147 hectares of tropical gardens and a massive lagoon pool, has been transformed. Today, the Mirage offers some of the classiest (and brightest) rooms, suites and villas in far north Queensland.
The culinary experience has also been upgraded. Guests can enjoy alfresco dining at Feast Restaurant, gourmet excellence at Harrisons by Spencer Patrick or a poolside snack at the Lagoon House.
Surrounded by 147 hectares of manicured gardens, this resort is really a private estate well away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Port Douglas. Outside of the gates, the surrounding area is mostly residential.
The two nearest neighbours are an 18-hole golf course and Four Mile Beach, a sparkling expanse of white sand that stretches all the way to Flagstaff Hill Lighthouse.
South of the resort is a private zoo called Wildlife Habitat and Palmer Sea Reef Golf Course, named one of Australia’s top 100 golf courses.
