Set between two UNESCO World Heritage-listed wonders of the world, Alkira Resort House is an unduplicatable, 100% off-grid boutique resort offering luxury accommodations. It includes 30 hectares of pristine rainforest and oceanfront land with 600 metres of private beach. As a multi-award-winning feat of contemporary architecture, Alkira is a remote yet accessible tourism destination.
Designed by architect Charles Wright, the Alkira residence spans over 1,000 sqm across two levels and is an exemplary example of carbon-neutral, tropical architecture. Six cantilevered wings suspended over a freshwater ecosystem are unified by a show-piece swimming pool surrounded by tropical gardens. Green lushness juxtaposes the spaceship-like concrete, steel and glass panel structure that is Category 5 Cyclone-proof and backed by state-of-the-art engineering.
Fully furnished and equipped, Alkira accommodates 12 guests in its six-bedroom suites. Each guest suite with timber-clad walls has a marble ensuite, built-in wardrobe, and covered balcony. Select features as expected from a resort of this calibre include a commercial-grade stainless steel kitchen, four lounge areas with mega-screen televisions, an executive office, a 2,400-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar and a professionally equipped gym. Separately, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom manager's residence is 500 metres from the resort building and accessed by a second driveway.
It is a 2.5-hour scenic drive from the Cairns Airport via the Alkira-branded 11-passenger coach or 30 minutes via helicopter to the Alkira helipad. Guest experiences are enhanced by the proximity to the Cape Tribulation township with its cafes, tourism excursion operators, and the Daintree National Park. Cape Tribulation is a favoured departure point for Great Barrier Reef trips to the Lower Isles.
