The Gold Coast luxe list: Lavish experiences outside the ‘Glitter Strip’

The Gold Coast was founded on luxury – it’s where its name actually comes from (it was just a nickname that stuck). But where luxury on the Gold Coast was once a little nouveau riche, now there’s an effortless style about luxuriating here.

Glamour gets a makeover

The ostentation of the glitter strip is old news – there’s a cultural revolution going on in these parts, writes Craig Tansley.

At 8am I receive a text advising that my private sun lounger and umbrella has been set up on the beach. And that a bottle of Krug is chilled and waiting for me beside the lounger (a vintage bottle of champagne had been waiting for me on arrival yesterday, but I preferred the idea of sipping it with my toes in the sand).
That’s Krug, not Moe¨t, the drink of choice for moneyed folk in these parts since gluttony got groovy in the ’80s. A luxury limousine certainly won’t be delivering me to the beach here in Burleigh Heads either, from a sky-scraping hotel in Surfers Paradise –mandatory luxury etiquette on the Gold Coast for decades.

For this right here, right now is an entirely different Gold Coast to the one you all knew. There’s a cultural revolution taking place in these parts, in case you hadn’t heard, in a place that never really cared that much for culture.

Bon Sol

Pop your complimentary bottle of vintage sparkling wine (sometimes Krug) and toast a decision well made. If the beautifully detailed interiors of this two-bedroom apartment in a retro brick beachfront block remind you of boutique Halcyon House, just across the New South Wales border, it’s because they were both designed by Anna Spiro. Contrasting linens adorn just about everything, from padded bedheads and walls to one-off pieces of furniture. Textures underfoot are sisal and custom tiles, and finishes elsewhere are plush: marbletopped washstands, Fragonard soaps, Moss River linen, goose-down pillows. A full-sized kitchen is equipped with Riedel glasses, Villeroy & Boch dinnerware and a coffee machine. Call ahead and the drinks trolley can be filled with your favourites before check-in. Watch the surf from the balcony, trot 100 steps to the beach or stroll to the heart of Burleigh Heads. Stay tuned for a second apartment opening late this year.
