And if you’re after something more relaxed, a cabana at Isoletto Pool Club gives you a quiet pocket of the day to unwind beside the water.
Scenic Drives to the Hinterland
For couples who love exploring, the hinterland offers a completely different side of the Gold Coast. Take a slow drive to Tamborine Mountain, visit boutique wineries, stroll through rainforest walks, or enjoy a quiet lunch overlooking the valley.
Night Strolls and Vibrant Evenings
As the city lights appear, the coastline takes on a new energy. Walk the beachfront at night, explore the buzzing Broadbeach dining precinct, or simply enjoy the warm atmosphere around The Star Gold Coast. It’s romance with a vibrant edge.
