ESCAPE

Villas

Setting the benchmark for tropical living
Renowned for decades as “the end of the line” in North Queensland,
Port Douglas is the place to relax and escape the madding crowds.

Our small, quiet village has so many simple pleasures to offer,
fringed by Four Mile Beach with the Coral Sea on one side and
the world’s oldest rainforest on the other.
For 40 years, John Morris and his family have been shaping
Port Douglas with a long history of successful property projects,

including the nearby Thornton Villas at St Crispin’s and the
Treetops Resort, now known as Ramada. Extensive tropical
landscaping and tasteful design have always been a hallmark, and

this is exemplified in the understated yet contemporary architecture
of John’s latest project.
“A simple and elegant lifestyle
Escape Villas seems to encompass it all”

“Although we have done many projects, this is one of our most
exciting as it is the last piece of land left in Port Douglas where
new developments such as Escape Villas can take place.”
The land overlooks the Mirage Golf Course and the waters of

the Mirage lagoon and is framed by a backdrop of spectacular
rainforest mountains. He continues, “Understanding the tropical
climate and aspect is key. Each villa has been designed for low
maintenance, to best capture breezes and of course the views.”

Those lucky enough to secure one of these villas will also receive a
five-year membership to the adjacent Mirage Country Club.

If you are looking to enjoy a simple and elegant tropical lifestyle,
Escape Villas seems to encompass it all. After all, living like a
local here is a rich tapestry. Casual, classy dining at Sassi’s Cucina,
Salsa, or Choo Choos on the marina, walks on the headland trail
perched above the sea to the beach or heading out to crystal clear

reef waters for snorkelling or fishing.
And who wouldn’t want to live like this?
