Summer is well and truly in full swing and us Gold Coasters live for this time of year. The sun stays out longer, social engagements quadruple and we have an excuse to buy new clothes coz we can’t possibly be seen in last year’s duds #CrimesOfFaarshion.
One destination always at the top of our summer hit list is Sanctuary Cove. Forever brimming with life’s greatest pleasures (eating, sipping, shopping, beautifying, cruising and people watching), this luxe oasis truly comes to life during the warmer months.
Here are six reasons why you’ll find us soaking up the good life at Sanctuary Cove this season.
UPDATE YOUR WARDROBE
If designer threads from Europe and Australia and the latest summer looks are on your radar, Sanctuary Cove’s diverse range of boutiques have you covered. Pop into Calypso Resort & Swimwear for a new swimsuit and stock up on cutting edge Australian labels at Soho Girl. Shop designer shades, on-trend denim looks and more at Harry’s Emporium, bespoke handcrafted jewels at Amore Fine Jewellery, and quality organic garments for your mini-me’s at Cabana Kids….and that’s just the tip of the ice block!
RESTYLE YOUR ABODE
Keep up with The Jones’ and source new season furniture and homewares from Cabana to create a relaxed, coastal haven. Shop all things Hamptons at Hamptons Style, discover unique treasures from the souks of Morocco to the laneways of India at Theo & Joe and find the perfect contemporary art print at Fineprintco #HiSlimAarons.
SIP ON A COCKTAIL
You don’t have to ask us twice! You can’t go past the Palm Springs vibes at Destino Wine & Cocktail Bar. The sun-filled space sets the perfect backdrop for your afternoon tipple or date night. Or, sip on Mexico’s finest tequilabased beverages at Pablito’s Mexican & Tequilaria. You won’t want to miss this ‘Juan’.
DINE BY THE WATER
Nothing says summer like a relaxed, waterside meal. Pop into Anchor Buoy for a casual sunlit brunch or seafood-infused long lunch. Newbie Chim Thai is the perfect spot for the best of modern and traditional Thai flavours. George’s Paragon is a long-standing fave with locals, serving up mouth-watering seafood, meat, pasta and more with a nod to Greek inspired fare. And for the perfect bougee date night, Ioesco Café & Cucina’s fresh Napoli cuisine and stunning marina views will woo that someone special.
ENJOY AN UNFORGETTABLE SAILING CRUISE
All aboard Gold Coast Sail’s beautiful 45-foot Hunter Sailing Yacht, Sol Cazador. Known as the largest and best-appointed sailing vessel on the GC, this is THE way to see our beautiful local waters. Book a cruise to remember with all the bells and whistles, this luxurious yacht has even featured on the likes of The Bachelor and yes, we’ll totally accept this rose.
