Niramaya Villas and Spa

Beautiful resort. Villas are amazing. We went to Port Douglas for our 25 year wedding anniversary. Resort was close to everything - main street restaurants and shops just 5 min drive away so we hopped in our car most nights and went out to beautiful restaurants. Highly recommend Salsa and Malaleuca (a bit fancier and pricier but food is exceptional), Irish Pub nice too. Niramayah is worth every penny. Our villa was amazing - clean, modern and had every conceivable thing you need - kitchen fully stocked, coffee pod machine, washing machine/dryer, beach towels, beautiful shampoo/conditioner/body wash. We didn't cook whilst we were there but if you wanted to everything is there that you need. We had our own beautiful pool which meant we didn't need to leave our villa to go to the main pool area. We loved the privacy. Grounds are meticulous and beautiful. We had a small gift waiting in the fridge on arrival from the resort for our anniversary which was lovely too. Friends had also organised through the resort to have champagne and a cheese/meat platter waiting for us. Resort staff are very helpful and go out of their way. We had breaky at the resort which was nice and I had a massage at the day spa which was amazing. Can't recommend this place more. As the saying goes 'you get what you pay for' so definitely worth the money. Would stay there again if I returned to PD.

Two adults and one teen had a very relaxing week here at niramaya. The staff are very friendly and nothing was a bother. We loved finishing the day out from visiting with a swim in the our own private pool. Even after dinner when it was still very warm it was a welcome treat. Lot of bird life and frogs who call this place home. My husband had a massage at the spa and was very relaxed after. Thankyou for hosting us and can't wait to come back.

Villas surrounded by a lush tropical garden environment are exceptional. Attentive service. A very memorable stay conveniently located a 7 minute drive from the centre of Port Douglas.

Great resort that has not spent the needed funds to maintain. Room furniture is spotted and about 7 years past replacement. Sheets and floors clean but upper level items, like ceiling fans had at least a year if not several years of dirt on them. Locks to villa were broken and at one point could not get out of villa. Great team follow through but owner wants to sell but not spending needed funds to maintain. Dinning was good but very fish focused and again dining room furniture needs new stuff as is well worn. Team was nice but limited to budget. No assistance after 7:30 as team leaves until morning, so no one there to help. Unfortunately this place is meeting its demise with an owner group that will not maintain as required. Suggest look for cleaner alternatives.

Our stay at Niramaya Villas was amazing. Our family of four adults all went ‘WOW!’ when we arrived. Our villa was perfect for our family getaway to celebrate a special occasion - beautiful spaces to gather as a family, or to spread out and relax in your own private area. We loved our plunge pool! The staff were helpful and friendly, the tropical gardens were stunning, and the villa extremely well equipped. We enjoyed the tennis court, gym, resort pool and Santi restaurant (dining and hamper delivery). The special treats on arrival were a delightful surprise. We can’t wait to return!

Stunning villas and grounds. Spa is first rate (ask for David who is a gifted masseur as well as facialist). The only ding - and it’s a big one - is the restaurant which is a disaster. The food is barely a step above college cafeteria - bland curry over vegetables, frozen pizzas, fish and chips - and the staff is friendly but have no idea what they’re doing. They’re sweet kids from Italy and Canada on temporary work visas who are inexperienced and distracted. It’s shocking that a resort that lavishes so much attention and professionalism on the grounds and accommodations would be so careless about the food. And Port Douglas, for such a small beach town, has excellent food so there is no excuse. Pasta e Vino, for example, a trattoria in town that serves some of the freshest, most delicious homemade pastas would be a star in NYC where upscale Italian restaurants are everywhere. The manager of the hotel should clear the kitchen and get serious about the food, and if not the group that owns the hotel should step in.
