Last updated February 2026

Alamanda Palm Cove by Lancemore is a luxury resort hotel situated directly on the palm-fringed beachfront of Palm Cove, about 25 minutes north of Cairns. The property features spacious suites and apartments with full kitchen facilities, multiple swimming pools, and direct access to one of tropical North Queensland's most beautiful beaches. Families appreciate the resort's relaxed atmosphere, with manicured tropical gardens, lagoon-style pools, and the famous Palm Cove jetty just a short stroll away. The resort provides an ideal base for exploring the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest while offering a peaceful retreat from busier tourist areas. **What to Bring** Sunscreen and hats for beach time. Reef-safe sunscreen if planning snorkeling trips. Beach toys and inflatables for the kids. Light jackets for air-conditioned dining areas. **Best Age Range** Suitable for all ages, though families with children 4 and up tend to get the most from the beach location and nearby reef activities. Toddlers enjoy the shallow pool areas and calm beach conditions. **Good to Know** Complimentary parking available on site. The resort has laundry facilities in suites which is handy for families. Palm Cove village with cafes and restaurants is within easy walking distance. The beach is patrolled and generally calm, protected by the outer reef. **Nearby** Cairns Tropical Zoo is about 15 minutes drive south, featuring native Australian animals and interactive experiences. Hartley's Crocodile Adventures is 20 minutes north, offering crocodile feeding shows and wildlife encounters. **Tips From Other Parents** Book ground floor suites if you have young children - easier access to pools and beach. The resort's location means you can walk to dinner rather than driving with tired kids. Pack or buy groceries locally to use the full kitchen facilities and save on dining costs.
