Ipanema Holiday Resort

On the beach side of the Gold Coast Highway between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach. This beach aparthotel sits a short stroll from Broadbeach Beach (about 0.3 mi) and close to SkyPoint, Cavill Avenue and The Star Gold Coast — perfect for beach days and nightlife.

An intimate, apartment-style property with private balconies offering hinterland, Nerang River and ocean views. Rooms are air-conditioned and geared for easy stays — microwaves, flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and hair dryers, with some units offering washers/dryers and weekly housekeeping. Reception isn’t 24-hour, so plan arrivals accordingly.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, melt into the hot tub or detox in the sauna. There’s a fitness centre, barbecue area and a vending machine on site, plus tour/ticket assistance and an area shuttle (surcharge). Free self-parking and laundry facilities keep things simple — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight out to the sand.

Small conference/meeting space (about 50 m² / 538 sq ft), express check-in, elevator access and free self-parking. Wireless internet is available to keep meetings and plans on track.

Bring a bite or fire up the on-site barbecue grills — rooms have microwaves and coffee/tea makers for light self-catering. For full-service options, the dining strips of Cavill Avenue and Broadbeach are just minutes away.
