Your Guide To Summer Events At The Star Gold Coast

Make the most of the balmy weather and those summer feels with our guide for what’s on at The Star Gold Coast.

The sun is out, the events calendar is filling back up and we all have a whole lot of lost time to make up for. Revel in the warmer weather with our guide to what’s on this summer at The Star Gold Coast.

Have a summer vacay (or stay-cay)

Okay, so we might not be jetting off overseas for a little while yet. But when you have a backyard like ours, the summer holiday feels are easy to achieve. The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s favourite playgrounds for good reason – and our Summer Starcation packages will help you make the most of it. You don’t need a passport to find paradise.

Hang out on The Lawn

Thanks to the Gold Coast’s year-round sunshine, The Deck at Garden Kitchen & Bar is never a bad idea, but over the summer months The Lawn becomes the place to be. Until 17 January, take a sneaky trip to the Riviera with the French-themed pop-up delivering beach club vibes. After that, it’s on to So-Cal.

Brunch with the best

Sunny summer mornings are made for long, lazy brunches, and the best brunch in the Gold Coast is beside The Darling pool nineteen floors above Broadbeach. Brunch at Nineteen at The Star offers an indulgent menu by executive Chef Uday Huja with upscale brekkie classics such as souffle pancakes daubed with Chantilly cream or decadent morsels from the grill like Moreton Bay bug with a garlic, butter crumb (best combined with the two-hour Champagne package). Oysters for breakfast, anyone?

Spa, swim, repeat

Pool or spa? Spa or pool? Now you don’t need to decide, with The Star Gold Coast’s Summer Bliss Package. The session includes two hour-long Effective Touch Massages at Azure Spa & Fitness, plus two hours’ private cabana rental beside the resort pool. Float out of your massage and back to your cabana to enjoy the included bottle of Chandon poolside. If you don’t feel like moving on once your experience has ended, don’t worry, the pool bar delivers direct to the poolside all day long.
