Angsana Great Barrier Reef
Introduction
Opened in 2000, Angsana Resort & Spa Great Barrier Reef is located in Palm Cove, where the Daintree-Cape Tribulation Rainforest meets the grandeur of the Great Barrier Reef. It is the only resort to boast absolute frontage to the magnificent Coral Sea offering 67 suites available in one, two and three bedroom configurations.
Responsible Development
Though originally not constructed as an Angsana property, Angsana Great Barrier Reef boasts a unique history supporting sustainable development with a serious concern for the environment. In the mid 1980’s the original team designing (then later building the resort) actively engaged the Palm Cove town council to enact guidelines for responsible development. To the town council’s credit, it recognized its tourism potential and the coming wave of development, and passed regulations limiting the height of buildings to four storeys, or not higher than the trees. The value and indeed mindful development of the resort made it the ideal property to launch the Angsana brand in 2000 as a contemporary, chic and vibrant sister brand to Banyan Tree.
