The Resort — Winner of Best Family Resort in Australia 13 years in a row!
Experience an unforgettable family holiday at Paradise Resort Gold Coast — voted Australia’s Best Family Resort 13 years in a row by leading family travel magazine, Holidays with Kids. Fresh from a phenomenal A$12 million refurbishment, this incredible 100% smoke-free resort has a new look, with an upgraded foyer, restaurants, waterpark and redesigned rooms — elevating the whole property to a new level of style and quality. Step through the refreshed foyer and find a fun-filled family haven with plenty to keep all ages entertained.
Splash about in the three-storey Z4K Water Park, an incredible aquatic playground with slides, water cannons, climbing frames and more. Watch out for the giant tipping bucket that fills with 600 litres of water before emptying every few minutes over guests below in a giant splash. Little ones can enjoy their own mini water park, including a slippery slide and paddling pool with a gently sloping beach entry, while adults can plunge into the heated outdoor pool, sitting at a pleasant temperature year-round.
Slide into the coolest place on the Gold Coast and book tickets for Planet Chill, Paradise Resort Gold Coast’s very own ice-skating rink. Kids aged three and above can escape the Queensland heat and take to the skates for an ‘icecapade’ at this year-round attraction — there are even fibreglass penguins to aid beginners.
Afterwards, head downstairs to the refreshed Penguins Restaurant for a relaxed dining experience, where even the pickiest eaters will find something they like. Alternatively, head to Deb’s Pizza Shack or Jerry’s Burger Bar for a feast, or fuel up with a freshly brewed barista coffee at the onsite cafe. Stock up on holiday essentials at the large onsite mini-mart, including snacks, ice-creams and a bottle shop.
The fun doesn’t stop there: the resort offers everything for an action-packed family holiday, including laser tag, a jungle gym, a games room, an adventure park, a climbing wall, live character shows and poolside movies. Adults can squeeze in some relaxation while the little ones have a blast at the Kids’ Club.
At the Kids’ Club, the resort’s ‘Holiday Heroes’ ensure nonstop fun for children 12 and under. Kids can blast off into Astro’s Space Station, trek through Dusty’s Safari Room, or dive for hidden treasure at the Underwater World. From pyjama parties and disco nights to arts, crafts, and movies, there’s no shortage of ways for young adventurers to make new friends and lasting memories.
If you want to venture out, Paradise Resort is perfectly situated only moments from the Gold Coast’s beautiful beaches and the bustling hub of Surfers Paradise. Head out for an action-packed day at the region’s iconic theme parks, including Sea World, Wet ‘N’ Wild and Dreamworld, or immerse yourselves in nature with rainforest walks and wildlife sanctuaries.
