Warm up on the Gold Coast

From acclaimed dining with breathtaking coastal views and a calendar of amazing events to unique underwater adventures and winding tropical rainforest tracks, there’s more to this region than what you think - although its world-famous beaches, glittering shopping strips and fun-filled theme parks are still well-worth your time. Let the excitement of the Gold Coast surprise you.

Foodies can tuck into one of 21 chef-hatted restaurants, adventure- and adrenaline-seekers will find 150 experiences and activities within a 30-minute drive of Gold Coast’s heart, and there is a richly verdant hinterland with national parks and townships for day-trippers eager to explore more of this destination beyond its shoreline. No matter if you’re new to the city or it’s a repeat visit; there is something to thrill and delight on the Gold Coast this winter.

Take things at your pace along the southern shores of Kirra Beach, where quieter coastlines and world-class surf await, or venture into the hinterland for wholesome activities and a luxe stay.

Whether you’re seeking days in the sun, surf or hinterland — pack your sense of adventure and follow the sunshine to the Gold Coast.
