Directions From Dorsett Gold Coast
Champagne Picnic on the Beach
Dorsett Gold Coast places you within easy reach of some of the region's most spectacular beaches. In fact, no visit to Queensland would be complete without at least a few hours of soaking up the rays, playing in the waves and enjoying the natural beauty. And what better way to spend a day with the girls than with a champagne picnic on the beach?
Nearby Surfers Paradise, Mermaid Beach, Burleigh Beach and Rainbow Bay are all great options. Enjoy soft golden sands, warm ocean waters and cool ocean breezes as you sip on flutes of bubbles accompanied by a selection of light bites on the beach. Instead of running around collecting supplies and planning it all yourself, why not let Alfresco Pop Up Picnics do it for you. Everything from low tables, linen, rugs, decor, lighting and food is provided.
If enjoying the beach without a picnic is more your scene, Rainbow Bay is a beautiful place to soak up the sun, enjoy a dip in the ocean and wander around Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Burleigh Head National Park and Burleigh Beach provide ample opportunity to enjoy paddle boarding, surfing and hiking - whisking you into a little slice of Queensland paradise.
Dinner & Drinks in Broadbeach
Located just 10-minutes from Dorsett Gold Coast on the beachfront of Burleigh Heads is one of the best award-winning Pan-Asian restaurants on the Gold Coast; Rick Shores. With menus made for sharing, get together with your girlfriends and enjoy an evening of freshly shucked oysters, plates of steaming dumplings, aromatic Thai curries, wagyu skewers and much more.
Another popular spot for dinner and drinks is The Tropic, also in Burleigh Heads. Soak up sweeping ocean views and the smell of salt in the air as you dine on the freshest seafood around. Enjoy dishes of fresh prawns, King prawn Malfadine, Goldband Snapper, Eastern rock lobster and fries, Caviar Oscietra, and many more offerings on the menu. Take to the upper balcony for your meal, accompanied with summer spritzes and cocktails by the sea.

Meditation & Yoga
The final local spot on this list is Mermaid Beach and its daily yoga sessions with views of the palms. Encompassing many types of yoga and meditation, lessons start at 6 am Monday to Friday and from 8:30 am on Sundays. Kickstart your day with a downward dog toward the rising sun, stretching it out and ridding yourself of any tension before the day starts.
Meditation is held several times a day, as are Vinyasa and Hatha too. With sessions running throughout the day, right up until early evening, it gives you, and your girls a chance to reconnect with yourself and with nature, boosting your serotonin levels and allowing you to immerse yourself in a little bit of me-time on the beachfront. Drop-in sessions start at just $5, so it’s well worth dedicating an hour or two to when in Broadbeach.
