Tucked within the rainforest of Maleny, Spicers Tamarind Retreat offers a peaceful, design-led escape where the natural surroundings shape the entire experience. Villas are private and spacious, with outdoor decks, spa baths, and a layout that feels connected to the forest.

It is a stay built around slowing down, whether that means spending time at the spa, joining a hands-on cooking class, or simply enjoying the quiet rhythm of the hinterland. With The Tamarind restaurant at its heart, food becomes a central part of the experience, balancing bold flavours with a refined, relaxed setting.

  • Luxury villa accommodation set within rainforest surrounds

  • Access to The Tamarind restaurant and dining experiences

  • On-site spa and wellness facilities

  • Access to cooking school experiences and hinterland activities
