Most Palm Cove accommodation is in apartment style resorts or in hotel style accommodation. In most cases, Palm Cove accommodation and Trinity Beach Accommodation caters to the more affluent end of the market and most of the local resorts are either four or five star rated. The resorts are almost all built surrounding a lagoon style swimming pool as the climate dictates swimming and sun baking as the most popular pastimes for holiday makers. Patrons tend to be of international origin or have come from Australia’s southern states. This migration occurs most commonly during the winter months as southerners try to escape from the winter cold. During the southern winter months and through the spring Palm Cove is alive with tourists and the accommodation houses are full to overflowing. At this time of the year it is essential to book your accommodation well in advance.

One of the reasons Palm Cove is so popular is the fact that is located within easy reach of many of the region’s best tourist attractions. All the resort have a tour desk to assist patrons to take tours to as many of these as possible. All tours in the district will pick up from your chosen accommodation and drop you back there at the end of the day. Port Douglas to the north, the Daintree rainforest, Mossman, the city of Cairns, the Skyrail and Tjapukai Aboriginal display are major land based attractions.
