Sanctuary Cove

Located on the northern end of the Gold Coast, Sanctuary Cove is a waterfront suburb that embodies coastal luxe. Boasting a 300-berth marina and a marine village brimming with designer boutiques, chic bars, cafes and contemporary restaurants, it's a spectacular spot to go for a long lunch and a spot of shopping. If it's the kind of place you'd like to stay a while, then book in for a 5-star experience at the Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove.

Sanctuary Cove provides instant access to some of the Gold Coast's beautiful waterways - soak it all in during a sunset sail or hire a self-drive picnic boat and putter around to find a perfect little bay to set up for the day. Golf enthusiasts will be delighted by two championship golf courses - The Pines and The Palms - and accompanying country club. And be sure to visit during Australia's blockbuster boating event each May - the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show is the biggest boating lifestyle event in the Southern Hemisphere.
