Surfers Paradise

Surfers Paradise brings Gold Coast's coastal playground to life with a vibrant mix of sun-soaked beaches and sky-high towers.

Beachfront dining options range from casual cafes to rooftop restaurants serving fresh seafood. High-rise hotels and holiday apartments dominate the skyline, offering stunning ocean views just steps from the action.

Broadbeach

Broadbeach delivers the Gold Coast's greatest hits in one sun-drenched package. The Star Casino dazzles next to Pacific Fair's shopping paradise while surfers catch waves along golden shorelines. Festival vibes keep the energy flowing year-round with live music and markets drawing crowds to oceanfront parks and plazas. Getting around couldn't be easier with the G:link light rail connecting you to Surfers Paradise and beyond. From luxury high-rises to beachfront apartments, accommodations offer ocean views and easy access to international dining options and cocktail lounges that hum well into the night.

The headland's rainforest trails wind through Burleigh Head National Park, rewarding hikers with breathtaking ocean panoramas. Weekends buzz with the Village Markets, where local artisans showcase handmade treasures while surfers catch perfect waves at the famous break below. Beachfront cafes serve flat whites and acai bowls from dawn, while seafood restaurants offer fresh local catches as the sun sets. Most visitors stay in ocean-view apartments or boutique hotels just steps from the patrolled swimming areas. Though public buses connect to nearby Gold Coast attractions, the village core is best explored on foot.

"My partner and I spent our anniversary weekend here along with other typical Gold Coast adventures. The room was lovely, tidy and clean, the staff were all friendly and helpful. The only thing was we weren’t sure on how power worked (you need a second card) and after being asked if we’d stayed there before and said no, we had no idea so we weren’t sure. Otherwise check in was smooth and everyone was lovely at front desk. Parking is opposite the hotel and honestly rather affordable for multiple entry/exit (if you’re wanting to drive around) but it’s not a far walk nor a hard walk. Our beach view was slightly obstructed, however we got a lovely view regardless of the beach, city and hinterland because we were on the 24th floor but laying in bed and sitting on the balcony we had a wonderful view. We had a lovely time regardless and we’d love to be back as soon as possible. Thank you for helping us make our anniversary trip wonderful :)"
