Is This the Gold Coast’s Most Glamorous Escape? 

Beachside sophistication and unrivalled convenience unite at The Star Residences.

The Star Residences boast some of the most captivating views on the Gold Coast, but it’s the seamless blend of familiar comfort and exhilarating excitement that truly sets it apart. Nestled within the iconic The Star Gold Coast complex, this luxury retreat combines modern apartment living, the coastal allure of Broadbeach and resort-style pools with the finest dining and nightlife the city has to offer.

A dazzling hub in Queensland’s entertainment epicentre 

The Gold Coast is Queensland’s top entertainment district. For adrenaline junkies, there are epic theme parks like Dreamworld, Sea World and Warner Bros. Movie World, plus world-famous beaches like Surfers Paradise where you can soak up the sun or catch some waves.  
 
In the heart of the action is The Star Gold Coast, a dynamic precinct home to The Star Residences – alongside three other accommodation options – plus a vibrant mix of award-winning bars, gourmet dining and a world-class casino. It’s difficult to think of a better location for deluxe stays and exceptional entertainment. 

Home sweet luxurious home 

Forget cramped hotel rooms, The Star Residences is all about next-level travel comfort. These one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments are essentially your home away from home, only better. Cook up a storm in a kitchen decked out with state-of-the-art appliances, or kick back in a roomy lounge with views that stretch way beyond the horizon. 

Every apartment nails that perfect mix of style and practicality. With open-plan layouts, plenty of natural light and furnished balconies, they’re designed for easy, breezy living. Full laundry facilities mean you can pack lighter and live larger, while the neutral colour palette keeps things calm, chic and super inviting. It’s the kind of space that feels effortlessly polished yet supremely comfortable. 

Dive into poolside perfection… 

This is paradise like you’ve never seen before, with a trio of incredible pools that will take your vacation to the next level. Start things off at The Star Residences-only pool on level 20, a hidden oasis high above the Gold Coast skyline that’s pure Instagram gold.  

If you’re here with the family or just love a social vibe, The Star Grand Pool has everything you need. Surrounded by lush greenery and resort-style amenities, it’s the perfect spot for splashing around or lounging in the sun with a cocktail in hand.  

… then hit the pool club 

Your next stop should be Isoletto Pool Club on level six. This isn’t your average poolside hangout, it’s a sun-soaked playground that pulses with Gold Coast’s high-octane energy. Picture yourself perched on one of the built-in ‘wet loungers’ with a sunset spritz cocktail and sweeping views of Broadbeach from the 12-metre viewing wall. 

The design is inspired by a neutral colour palette accented by bright pops of lemon and peach. Elegant cabanas are scattered around like a shaded oasis, and service comes straight to your side without lifting a finger.

Sky-high playground 

Forget ground-level living – the Level 20 Recreation Deck is where resort living gets a serious upgrade. Work out in a fitness centre then slide straight into the pool that feels like you’re swimming on top of the world. This sky-high sanctuary has everything from sizzling outdoor cooking zones to zen yoga spaces and a spa that will melt away every trace of stress. Not to mention the jaw-dropping cityscape and hinterland panoramas. 

Dine around the world, right on your doorstep 

The Star Gold Coast has a whole host of dining venues, so you can globe-trot without leaving the resort complex. With sixteen incredible bars and restaurants, meal monotony is a thing of the past. Start your journey at Harvest Buffet, where you’ll find everything from fresh oysters and crab to crowd-pleasers like pasta and pizza. Then, grab some spring rolls to-go or enjoy a hearty prawn and pork wonton soup at Mei Wei Dumplings. 

For a more intimate dining experience, head to Kiyomi for Japanese precision that will transport you to Tokyo. Craving Italian? Cucina Vivo brings Amalfi Coast magic to life with homemade pasta, wood-fired pizzas and a signature veal scallopine.  

Nineteen at the Star is the resort’s piece de resistance. Chef Michael Crosbie offers guests exquisite dishes from his carefully curated a la carte menu, think aged Wollemi duck, live rock lobster and wagyu cooked to perfection, all paired with wines expertly chosen by the in-house sommelier, served in a chic rooftop setting. 

A new star is born 

Get ready to witness hospitality history in the making. The Star Gold Coast is about to elevate luxury to new heights with its second tower – an immense A$400 million, 65-storey marvel set to transform the skyline in early 2025. This game-changing addition will add 437 apartments and a 202-room five-star hotel to the already legendary complex. With its golden glass facades shimmering like a coastal mirage, this tower stands as a bold testament to the Gold Coast’s unstoppable evolution.
