Martinique on Macrossan

Port Douglas


This terracotta boutique block contains lovely tiled one-bedroom apartments, each with a small kitchenette, a private balcony, colourful accents and plantation shutters. Wonderful hosts and an excellent main-street location near the beach seal the deal. The pool has six coves and is supervised by a lavish elephant and dolphin shrine. Good value.
