Sheraton Noosa Resort & Spa

A great place to enjoy a day spa by the sea is Noosa's first AAA-rated five-star resort. Right in the heart of Hastings Street, the Sheraton has a prime spot. There are several styles of rooms, but the best in my book are those with views away from the beach looking down the Noosa River to the mountains. Sit on the balcony at sunset and drink it in. All the rooms are extra-large, and all have Jacuzzis. You'll pay more for two-level poolside villas, which have private access to the pool area but no view. Some rooms have ocean (but not beach) views. The Aqua Day Spa has a Roman-bathhouse feel and offers a wide range of treatments. The restaurant, Cato's -- named for the late Australian novelist Nancy Cato, who lived in Noosa -- fronts Hastings Street and is a great place to people-watch.
