Holidays are the time to shake off the shackles of the daily grind, switch off and unwind. As any good holiday-maker knows, relaxation is a sport for which there are many codes – there’s the Get-Me-To-A-Spa crowd, the Champagne-At-Sunset-On-A-Yacht types, and of course the Take-My-Money-I’ll-Have-It-Gift-wrapped-Thanks tribe. Port Douglas is a quintessential seaside village, an ideal haven for switching off and forgetting the constraints of metropolitan life, and most certainly a spot where good ol’ fashioned retail therapy is not forgotten.

In the few hundred metres along the main street, you can discover a shopping utopia with everything from recognised brands, chic resort wear, on trend Australian and European labels, exquisite handcrafted jewellery and the mother of all wide brimmed sun hats (to go with those high-waisted retro bikinis) – this is tropical lifestyle living at it’s very best. Retail therapy in Port Douglas offers something for everyone, whatever your budget and style. Your credit card can thank us later (or not…).
