With the stresses of modern life washed away, your mind and body are gently transported to a more peaceful place. Feeling more connected – more alive – you retreat to your spacious private villa, where the luxuries are exquisitely elevated. The east meets west aesthetic, lush rainforest and nearby waterfall remind you of an Asian escape, and the smells and spices of the Thai influenced cuisine complete the picture of tranquillity.
Nestled in the cool, leafy mountain climes of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Spicers Tamarind Retreat is a welcome sanctuary of relaxation and reinvigoration. A soothing Asian ambiance permeates throughout the stunning grounds, beautiful rooms and main guest house, whilst an imaginative restaurant forms the centrepiece of this magnificent retreat.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the cool garden ponds, trickling fountains, wooden boardwalks and drooping palms that encircle the guest lounge pavilion and dining areas. Colourful lilies add a burst of colour, comfortable wicker chairs provide a place to enjoy a refreshment, while inviting walkways peel off into the rainforest, tempting you to savour a quiet moment surrounded by nature.
The secluded 22 rooms spread across 14 private villas are your own personal oasis: here you’ll be immersed in endless luxuries that provide the perfect antidote to busy lives. Throughout you’ll find luxury linens, deep garden view bathtubs, sun drenched day beds and open fireplaces, whilst in the two person Falls Villas, you’ll also discover Japanese style cedar hot tubs.
There’s no shortage of ways to occupy your time at Tamarind Retreat. Taking the time to savour the unique flavours and creations at the renowned Tamarind restaurant is a must, or getting creative at the Tamarind cooking school. Nearby, the authentic and intriguing country village of Maleny and its surrounds rewards the inquisitive with its bounty of quality produce, arts, bookstores, cafes and craft breweries. The easy to reach majestic Glass House Mountains provide the ideal adventure for walkers.
The invigorating energy of Tamarind Retreat stimulates the senses, and the friendly, relaxed approach of our team offers welcome reprieve from the everyday. Conveniently located just 70 minutes from Brisbane Airport and 40 minutes from the Sunshine Coast airport, this is a retreat that simply must be experienced.
