Luxury Garden Penthouse with Breathtaking Ocean Views
Welcome to a luxurious private ground-floor garden penthouse, offering breathtaking views in an idyllic setting. This exceptional space blends traditional Balinese design with modern Australian architecture, creating a perfect fusion of elegance and sophistication.
The Sub Penthouse at Santai in Palm Cove is truly one of a kind. As the largest and most exclusive apartment in the area, it provides a peaceful sanctuary nestled into the hillside. From the moment you enter through the secure gatehouse and magnificent Balinese solid timber doors, you’ll feel the exclusivity of this stunning retreat.
The spacious master suite opens directly onto lush gardens and features a wall of robes and an oversized bathroom with double vanity, a wet-room shower, and luxurious marble and stone finishes. The modern galley kitchen is a chef’s dream, with high-end stainless-steel appliances, a 900mm freestanding gas cooktop and oven, solid granite benchtops, a plumbed double fridge, and a stylish breakfast and cocktail bar. The open layout is designed for entertaining, offering ample cabinetry and pantry space.
This penthouse is fully equipped with ducted and zoned air conditioning, new ceiling fans, LED lighting, a full-size laundry with Miele appliances, and generous storage. Uninterrupted panoramic views of the ocean, mountain ranges, and Palm Cove complete the breathtaking experience.
Outside, private tropical gardens, manicured lawns, water features, and two large patio terraces create a tranquil escape. The property is framed by stone walls, ensuring privacy and exclusivity. Gated underground parking for three vehicles is also provided.
A direct elevator takes you to your front door, leading through a private atrium and courtyard. Residents have access to beautifully maintained courtyards, tropical gardens, a sun terrace, and a barbecue area.

During your stay, you will have complete private access to the penthouse, gardens, and all its luxurious features. Secure parking for three vehicles is included in the underground garage.
Palm Cove is a picturesque beachside town in Far North Queensland, just 25 minutes north of Cairns. Known for its stunning beach fringed with palm trees and crystal-clear waters, it’s a perfect spot for swimming, kayaking, and relaxing. The town is also home to world-class restaurants, boutique shops, art galleries, and day spas, making it an ideal destination for a serene and indulgent getaway.
Due to the cliff-top location of this property, renting a car is highly recommended for easy access to the town and surrounding attractions. If you need assistance with car hire, we are happy to help.

The space and location of this property is absolutely wonderful. A beautiful place to relax and unwind but still close enough for day adventures. Communications with property manager were exceptional. A great place for us, the kids & their grandparents to have a well deserved holiday!!
