Known for decades as the end-of-high-school party spot, the Gold Coast has itself graduated to become a sun-kissed strip of high-end luxury. Here’s what our guide to the Gold Coast. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This region is not called the Bronze Coast or even the Silver Coast: the beaches, the nightlife, the seafood straight from the ocean to your plate and the stampede of new luxury hotels trying to get a piece of the action are all certified solid gold. And it\u2019s the coast with the most because you can party like you just finished school at Surfers Paradise, have a civilised cafe breakfast at Tarte in Burleigh Heads<\/a>, or zipline and bush bash through the gargantuan greenery of the Gold Coast<\/a> hinterland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travellers can hit the beach, or the hotel pool club, they can grab some fish and chips or a degustation where each course becomes your new favourite thing you have ever eaten; you can drink classic cocktails barefoot or sip local whisky in hiking boots. Just like the precious mineral itself, the Gold Coast is malleable, valuable and always shining. Here is our insider guide to the perfect Gold Coast escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
