4-star adults-only boutique hotel steps from Surfers Paradise Beach

Accommodation & Amenities

The Island Gold Coast offers adults-only tranquility with a historical architectural design that pays homage to the Queensland seaside. Each of the 98 air-conditioned rooms includes a private balcony with city, mountain or pool views and a flat-screen TV. The hotel provides spacious suites with kitchenettes, dining tables, and lounges, plus complimentary snacks and water bottles are restocked daily.

Dining & Entertainment

The hotel is home to Goldie's bar and bistro, which serves pizza and pub food in a lively setting. On the rooftop, guests find a bar with live music every weekend, expansive Gold Coast views, and cocktail offerings. The on-site gaming lounge offers exciting gaming options, and live sport events are broadcast regularly.

Recreation & Wellness

The outdoor salt-water swimming pool is heated and open all year, surrounded by sun loungers and beach chairs with a fence. A heated spa next to the pool provides warm water relaxation, and pool/beach towels are provided. The hotel also has a games room with billiards for guest entertainment.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The Island is positioned directly in the art and entertainment district of Gold Coast, a short walk to Surfers Paradise Beach. Cavill Avenue entertainment precinct and the SkyPoint Observation Deck are within walking distance, and the light rail station is downstairs for easy access. The Casino is 3.2 km away, and Gold Coast Airport is 20 km from the hotel.

Business & Events

The hotel has six dedicated function venues that can accommodate large gatherings and corporate events. Meeting and banquet facilities are available, with fax/photocopying services on request. The 24-hour front desk and express check-in/check-out allow business travelers to move through efficiently.

Highlights

Adults-only: Tranquil atmosphere for couples

Rooms: 98 rooms with private balconies

Dining: Goldie's bistro & rooftop bar with live music

Pool: Heated salt-water pool & spa

Entertainment: Gaming lounge & billiards room

Events: Six function venues for large gatherings

“The Island Gold Coast distinguishes itself with an adults-only atmosphere, creating a more tranquil and refined experience; the rooftop bar, a vibrant space with live music, is a destination in itself. While some aspects show their age, its central location near Surfers Paradise Beach and the art and entertainment district remains a key advantage, in my opinion. For adult travelers seeking a lively yet sophisticated base, it holds considerable appeal.”
