The next chapter of luxury living unfolds as Escape Villas proudly releases Stage Three of its exquisite new development. 

Port Douglas’ newest luxury villa collection has been released with four brand new villas now available. With golf course views, private swimming pools and pioneering sustainability practices, this latest release offers aspiring owners the opportunity to secure their own slice of paradise in one of Queensland’s most sought-after destinations.

Under the helm of seasoned property developer John Morris, Escape Villas offers not only “ultra-luxe” living in a premium location but also a more cost-effective investment for buyers. Intentionally designed to be low maintenance, owners can expect to pay significantly lower Body Corporate fees when compared to similar properties in the area. “We’ve designed the complex in a way that it requires less upkeep which means more money in the pockets for our buyers,” Mr Morris explained.

It’s this same innovative thinking that has seen Escape Villas become Queensland’s first residential community with a pre-installed shared solar system significantly lowering both power costs and offset C02 - an intentional move by Mr Morris. “It was very important to us when developing Escape Villas to focus on our environmental impacts and creating a sustainable energy solution,” he explained. 

Escape Villas Realtor, Caroline Yarr added “Because all solar panels are already installed it means there is absolutely no cost to the owners, it’s all been done. It was no mean feat to achieve, it took a lot of work but we did it!” she laughed. 

The epitome of luxury, all four villas unveiled in Stage Three have been expertly styled by Mr Morris’ daughter and esteemed interior designer, Janet Morris. “Janet has created a really soft interior palette which lends itself to the natural environment. It’s high end luxury but relaxed - a comfortable, luxurious interior with each villa subtly different from the next,” explains Ms Yarr.

Every aspect of these residences has been thoughtfully considered to elevate your living experience from the spacious bedrooms down to the pots and pans. Your investment even includes a 5-year Mirage Country Club membership for tennis, swimming and gym. 

Aware that some buyers will be using the villas as holiday rentals, the team at Escape have endeavoured to create ease in the rental process by partnering with Saltwater Hotels, the same property managers that look after esteemed properties like Niramaya. 

The partnership means higher occupancy and less stress for owners. “We’re really excited about the association with Saltwater Hotels. They’ll provide a total management plan for owners who wish to let their villa and will take care of all bookings and maintenance,” explains Ms Yarr. “It just really simplifies the whole process”. 

With Stage Three officially released, the opportunity to secure your dream villa at Escape Villas has never been more enticing. With only a limited number of residences available, visit https://escapecollection.cve.io/ to begin your journey.
