Discover Alkira Resort House and Rainforest Retreat, a revolutionary off-grid marvel nestled within the captivating Daintree Rainforest at Cape Tribulation, Far North Queensland. Set on 30 hectares, this architectural gem offers an unprecedented fusion of luxury and sustainability, epitomizing modern design amid two world heritage listings.
This exclusive retreat marries eco-consciousness with opulence, flaunting six sumptuous en-suite bedrooms accommodating up to 12 guests. A private 600-meter coral-fringed beach, a part of the Great Barrier Reef, lures beachcombers and adventurers alike. Architect Charles Wright’s visionary creation seamlessly blends with its lush surroundings, exemplified by its solar-powered, carbon-neutral operations.
Inspired by a postage stamp collector and property developer, Alkira showcases an unorthodox silhouette mirroring the One Pound Jimmy postage stamp. The unique swimming pool’s shape and the porthole windows pay homage to this collector’s fascination. Crafted from resilient prefabricated materials, the residence stands resilient against the challenging wet tropics environment.
The retreat’s innovative design showcases six cantilevered wings providing breathtaking vistas, each capturing the essence of water, rainforest, and sky. Lavish amenities abound, including individual marble en-suite bathrooms, private balconies, air-conditioning, flat screens, and Wi-Fi in each room. The property’s open layout revolves around an enticing pool, connecting living spaces that overlook the lake, rainforest, and mountains.
Aligned with green architecture, Alkira relies on solar energy, while rainwater and a solar-powered wetland sustain its eco-system. Cooling water features and insulated concrete harmonize to create a comfortable, year-round tropical haven. Guests can immerse themselves in the heart of Far North Queensland while indulging in ultimate seclusion.
Alkira’s accessibility via road or chartered helicopter promises a scenic journey, approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes from Cairns International Airport. The journey is enriched with aerial views of the iconic Great Barrier Reef. Alkira’s allure is augmented by its six queen bedrooms, each featuring lavish en-suites and private balconies.
