When summer comes, Aussie families flock to Port Douglas. And who can blame them? With brilliant sunshine, a gorgeous stretch of beach, plenty of delicious dining options, boutique shops and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites – the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest – at your doorstep, it’s a no brainer.

If you’re craving the convenience and buzziness of the chic seaside town, but also want complete solitude when you return to your accommodations, then Villa Aman is for you. 

Nestled in the treetops of Flagstaff Hill and offering 180-degree panoramic views of Four Mile Beach, this four bedroom villa has just joined the illustrious suite of accommodations that make up the Private Collection by Spicers.

A stylish refurbishment of the villa has just been completed in time for the summer holiday season. There are four deluxe beds fitted with Egyptian cotton linen that sleep eight guests, a magnesium swimming pool, spa and multiple outdoor entertaining areas that take full advantage of the hillside location and views. 

While there is no shortage of amazing dining options available in Port Douglas, if you feel like staying in and cooking a meal for yourself, or perhaps hiring a private chef to do the hard work, there’s a full gourmet kitchen fit out with state-of-the-art appliances including a Vintec wine cabinet and built-in coffee machine. 

For those travelling in a group, there’s multiple living areas throughout the three-level villa so you can unwind with fellow guests or find a quiet space to relax alone. With multiple bathrooms, outdoor and indoor living and dining areas, Villa Aman makes for the perfect holiday home to travel with a group of friends, but not have to worry about stepping on anyone’s toes.
