Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Burleigh Heads
A classic mid-century beach motel in Burleigh Heads completely reimagined with bold retro design, an excellent pool, and direct access to one of Australia's best point breaks. A cult favourite among surfers and design-conscious travellers.
Surfers Paradise
One of the Gold Coast's most reliable large resort hotels with a lagoon pool of significant scale, multiple restaurants, and well-equipped rooms that consistently deliver on the Marriott promise of comfort and service. Family-friendly with excellent kids' facilities.
Surfers Paradise
A striking contemporary hotel in the Soul building — one of the Gold Coast's most architecturally distinctive towers — with extraordinary beach and ocean views, a tri-level pool terrace, and well-appointed rooms at competitive luxury prices.
Lamington National Park
High in the Gold Coast hinterland at Lamington National Park, O'Reilly's has been welcoming guests since 1915 — a classic mountain retreat with wildlife encounters (hand-feeding king parrots and lorikeets), rainforest walks, and a genuine sense of Australia's natural wonder.
Surfers Paradise
QT's Gold Coast outpost perfectly captures the city's kitsch glamour with exuberant design, the legendary Stingray Lounge bar and pool scene, and rooms that lean into the theatrical resort aesthetic. Consistently one of the most fun hotels in Australia.

Beautifully designed boutique apartments at the southern tip of the Gold Coast in Coolangatta — the most relaxed and genuinely local Gold Coast village — with surf beach access and proximity to Rainbow Bay, one of Australia's best point breaks.
