Melaleuca Restaurant

Overview

Melaleuca Port Douglas: Award-Winning Tropical Fine Dining

Nestled on the iconic Wharf Street with glimpses of the Coral Sea, Melaleuca Port Douglas is a masterclass in contemporary Australian dining. Since opening in 2020, this multi-award-winning restaurant—helmed by Chef Adam Ion and his wife Namhee—has earned a prestigious AGFG Chef Hat every year, quickly becoming a top-tier Port Douglas bucket list destination.

The experience at Melaleuca is defined by its stunning setting: a chic, breezy dining room that flows into a lush alfresco courtyard shaded by three giant, ancient mango trees. The menu is a vibrant celebration of Far North Queensland produce, subtly infused with Namhee’s Korean heritage. From flame-grilled seafood to bold Asian-inspired spices, Melaleuca offers a sophisticated yet relaxed "sand-between-the-toes" luxury that is quintessential to the Tropical North Queensland lifestyle.
