Scratching the surface of Surfers Paradise

When most people think of the Gold Coast, they think of sunny skies and sandy beaches. Sure, those things are awesome. That’s why people travel across the world to visit. However, if you scratch the surface, there’s a lot more to the coast, than you might expect.

Take the JW Marriott for example. Here you’ll find all your favourite parts of the Gold Coast, plus plenty more. It has one of the prettiest pools you’ll ever dive into, but if you strap on your snorkel, you’ll soon realise it’s also incredibly unique.  More than 300 tropical fish call the saltwater lagoon home. The kids will spend hours in the water, while you can enjoy sipping a cocktail in a cabana.

If you’re looking for some you time, head to the spa. This is the first spa by JW Marriott in Australia and New Zealand. A special title for a particularly special place. You truly feel relaxed from the moment you walk in. Each treatment is carefully curated with input from the whole team. Even Chef Paul is involved! He mixes local ingredients used in the body scrub.

Speaking of Chef Paul, if there’s something the entire family is sure to enjoy here, it’s the food! Whether you’re fuelling up for a big day at the breakfast buffet, treating yourself to a high tea or making a mess at Misono’s magical teppanyaki experience, you’re guaranteed to me rolling into your room at the end of the night.

Right now, the JW Marriott is offering a deal on two-night stays, with a full buffet breakfast, welcome drinks, and 50 dollars in resort credit daily. If you’re due for a getaway, you can find more details here.
