Testimonials

"I cannot say enough positive things about Mali Mali or the Executive Retreats staff. This is a beautiful villa in an incredible location. We could not have been happier with the villa or the tours in both the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Mali Mali was one of the most unique villas that we have ever stayed in, and we would highly recommend it to all. Heather set up tours that our entire family (my wife and I as well as our three kids ages 14, 13, and 10) found more than exciting and exhilarating. We will always cherish this special vacation. Thanks for everything."

"I recently enjoyed a week at Mali Mali with my wife and 3 children. It was a wonderful experience and we had a truly lovely stay. The house was well presented and an accurate reflection of the photos and description. The team at Executive Retreats were on hand to assist as required and the process was completed seamless. The pool and view was magnificent and the house was well appointed. The tennis court was well maintained and the surroundings were the ultimate in peace and tranquility. We truly had a wonderful time and will be back! Thank you for a lovely stay!"

'A truly beautiful location and an amazing house. The view was truly spectacular and the vibe is that of a balinese resort. We spent most of our days at the house and in the beautiful pool and used the tennis court a lot. Kitchen was well equipped and there is a great BBQ so we ate most meals at the house. Given we were surrounded by rainforest it was to be expected we would have a lot of wildlife, this was definitely the case, especially at night time. This made the walk from the living area to the bedrooms was a little unnerving at times as you have to go outside and walk on the walkway beside the pond to get to your room, there were always lots of frogs and geckos to be seen. The bedrooms were always nice and cool even on very hot days and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely recommend Mali Mali if you are looking for a very peaceful, private and relaxing holiday.'
