How to Choose the Best Broadbeach Hotel for Your Trip
With a picturesque coastline of crystal blue sea and pristine white sand stretching 70km, Australia’s Gold Coast is truly a stunning place to visit. The beaches are lined with a multitude of top-class restaurants, cosy cafes and an array of boutique shops to cater to your every whim. To ensure you’re close to all of the action, the Broadbeach region is the perfect place to stay.
With an abundance of options to choose from, deciding which hotel to book can be a little overwhelming and often depends on the type of holiday you hope to have. Dorsett Gold Coast is conveniently located on Broadbeach Island and is perfectly positioned to offer the ideal blend of beach, dining, shopping, entertainment and inner-city vibrance!
With so much to see and do, and so many places on the Gold Coast to explore, you are guaranteed to have an incredible time. Here are some of the top reasons to visit the region and stay in Broadbeach.
Assessing Beach Proximity: Broadbeach Foreshore
The foreshore is the perfect place for families, couples or solo travellers to relax, unwind and take in some sun, sea and sand.
Perhaps all you want to do is sunbathe while holding a book in one hand and a delicious cocktail in the other. Or maybe you’d like to check out the arts and crafts beachfront market and discover some of the local artistic talent.
We’d definitely recommend taking a stroll along the coastline and going for a dip in the sparkling, turquoise ocean that the Gold Coast is known for!
Evaluating Water Sports Offerings
If water sports are your thing, you will be spoilt for choice.
Surfing is a popular sport in Australia in general but particularly at beaches on the Gold Coast. Why not rent yourself a surfboard and catch some waves? If you’ve never surfed before, now is the time to start and you can find plenty of places at Broadbeach offering lessons.
Other options are parasailing, snorkelling, and stand-up paddleboarding. If you’re looking for a bit more of a rush, you can even hire a jet ski!
For something a little more opulent you could consider combining dinner with a sunset cruise along the water.
Proximity to Gold Coast Theme Parks
When visiting the Gold Coast, theme parks are an absolute must!
Warner Brothers Movie World is one of the most popular theme parks in the region where you can meet movie characters, watch parades and be amazed by the incredible entertainment shows - it’s a truly magical experience for all ages!
Another option is Wet ‘n’ Wild. This waterpark is perfect for the Gold Coast’s subtropical climate all year round and has tonnes of terrifying slides like the Kamikaze and the Tornado. It also has a selection of smaller slides and a wave pool. Don’t forget to slip, slop, slap!
If you’d like the chance to get up close and personal with some of Australia’s most incredible marine animals, be sure to visit Sea World, home to polar bears, dolphins, seals, turtles, penguins, and many other species!
Access to The Star Gold Coast Facilities
When you stay at Dorsett Gold Coast, you will have direct connectivity to The Star Hotel Gold Coast and all of its amenities including fitness centres, an entertainment complex, restaurants, and bars. The Star Gold Coast is Australia’s world-class entertainment and leisure destination!
