Next, get on a beach cruiser bicycle from Action Outdoor Hire, and take the 36-kilometre coastal path of the Gold Coast Oceanway.

More thrills await at Australia’s tallest residential tower, the Q1 Resort and Spa. Tackle the Q1 with the SkyPoint Twilight Climb, which takes you a thrilling 270 metres above the ocean to watch as the city below starts to sparkle.

Afterwards, treat your tastebuds with Palette’s tasting menu. 

Day Two

Morning
Fuel up at QT’s Bazaar - this is not your average hotel buffet – there are tantalising dishes inspired by traditions served up in Middle Eastern souks, Asian hawker markets and Latin American bodegas, from slow-cooked meats and fresh seafood to sweet treats that are as pretty as they are tasty. T

Then, venture out on the Gold Coast’s sparkling waterways for a private three-hour charter with Sailing in Paradise. Cruise to secluded Stradbroke and Wavebreak islands, glide alongside bottlenose dolphins, before plunging into the wonderfully warm waters for a spot of snorkelling.

Afternoon
Don your scuba gear and explore the world’s first buoyant reef. Gold Coast’s latest and greatest dive site, Wonder Reef features nine ethereal structures that support an incredibly diverse ecosystem of aquatic life. Gold Coast Dive Adventures has your transport and equipment hire sorted.

Evening
Fire up your Friday night at QT’s Stingray Lounge for an unforgettable evening of tacos and salsa. Or, simply sit back and chill with a chilli coconut margarita in hand.

Day Three

Morning
At dawn catch a sunrise hot-air balloon flight from Canungra, an hour from QT. Your complimentary breakfast is served hot at O’Reilly’s Canungra Valley Vineyards, accompanied by sparkling wine and vineyard views from the verandah.

This fully-catered escape is sure to leave you rejuvenated and at one with nature. Enjoy a massage beside Christmas Creek, venture out for a hike or simply enjoy the twin vintage bathtubs and crackling fireplace of your safari-style tent.
