Looking for creative date ideas for your next night (or day) out? Look no further than these romantic, fun and totally unique dates in the Douglas Shire.

 

Get Pampered together

Spoiling yourself with a massage and wellness treatment is always a good idea, and doing it together with your loved one makes the experience even better.

For those looking to share in some special time together head down to Niramaya wellness & spa for the perfect relaxation treatment.

Set in a serene couples room, secluded from the rest of the world, you’ll both be pampered to your individual needs followed by an aromatic mineralised spa bath.

If you’re a bit short in time then the 60 minute Duo Retreat at Deep Retreat Port Douglas is a great option.

Enjoy a 30 minute deep massage and 30 minute access to the Sent Bath House, Steam Room and Relaxation Studio.

Perfect for couples who want a great massage and Bath House experience in a small amount of time.

 

Go for a Cocktail Crawl

Spice up the evening with some of the hottest cocktail spots in town.

Going for a relaxed tropical poolside vibe? Then Koko Poolside Bar at Peppers Beach Club is a great option.

Come evening, when the white sand pool is illuminated, the perfect scene to sip away those delicious cocktails.

For the best views in town - especially during sunset time - go for the Tin Shed’s Bacardi Bar overlooking the stunning Coral Sea.

Watch the boats sail by as the sun sets behind the mountain range. Can it get any more romantic?

A cool evening breeze and cosy lightning, with Hemingways Port Douglas you can never go wrong. The iconic spot at the marina offers a relaxed vibe where you can enjoy carefully prepared cocktails.

Last but definitely not least, Barbados at the marina is undoubtedly one of the best spots for the perfect date night.

Positioned on the timber boardwalk with a spectacular view over the Dickson Inlet, it is the perfect place to relax and get cosy on the daybeds and we’ll guarantee you have the perfect date night.

 

A romantic Sunset Sail

Watching the sunset together might be among one of the most classic date night ideas.

Notch it up a bit and jump onboard an exclusive sunset sail.

Choose for a luxury catamaran experience with Sailaway and soak up the peace and tranquillity of a tropical sunset over the Coral Sea as you sail along the coast of Port Douglas.

Or go for a canapé experience while relaxing on Shaolin’s teak deck or cushioned lounge area. Take in the ambient music and spectacular mountain views one of Port Douglas’s original iconic boats.
