Mackay and Whitsunday Life

A Hidden Paradise

Hiding behind a blanket of welcoming palm trees, a tropical oasis awaits, transporting you to another world mere minutes from the centre of Airlie Beach.

Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat is ideally located at Jubilee Pocket, close enough to everything you could want for your Airlie Beach adventure but far enough to experience a quiet escape in the rainforest.

With over 20 years of history, Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat welcomed new management last year, with the installation of brand-new accommodation options completed in December 2022 offering everything from spacious queen rooms for a romantic couple’s getaway to two-bedroom villas for family and group adventures.

The retreat rests on three tiers of paradise, with each one feeling more and more removed from the outside world.

Close your eyes and tune into the relaxing rustle of tree leaves and the beautiful calls of local birdlife while making friends with the local wildlife, with goannas and ‘Kipara’, an Australian Aboriginal term translating to Bush or Scrub Turkey in the Luritja Tribe dialect, also calling the retreat home.

While it feels like you’re nestled in a world away from your own, Airlie Beach is only two kilometres away, making Kipara the perfect base to experience the best of everything the Whitsundays has to offer.

With Shute Harbour in one direction and Airlie Beach in the other, Kipara is ideally located no matter what adventure is enticing you.

The kind, helpful and informative staff can assist you to find the perfect tour or experience to make your holiday one to remember, whether it’s exploring the Whitsunday islands, snorkelling over the Great Barrier Reef, indulging in a beachside shopping spree or enjoying a relaxing drink in one of Airlie’s many lively bars.

For those wanting to experience everything the retreat has to offer, there are board games, table tennis and bikes available for hire, with the pool area undergoing exciting renovations expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Embrace the beauty of Airlie Beach and surround yourself in nature at Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat.
