Gold Coast

Located south of Brisbane on the sunny Queensland coast, Gold Coast is Australia’s glitzy party resort, with high-rise towers fringing miles of delightful sandy beaches, including the world-famous ‘Surfer’s Paradise’. With thrilling international theme parks, a diverse clubbing scene, luxury shopping opportunities and the glamorous resort of Palazzo Versace, Gold Coast is a dynamic and modern resort that also acts as a launch pad for exploring nearby inland tropical rainforests and national parks. The warm seas of the Gold Coast also provide the perfect place to surf, dive and snorkel, whilst those who prefer dry land can cheer on competitors at one of the many sports festivals held in the resort, including the Coollangatta Ocean Swim.
