The Garland at Rainbow Bay  

On the Southern Gold Coast in Coolangatta, steps from Greenmount Beach and Rainbow Bay. This north-facing beachfront resort sits above Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks, about 4.3 miles from Gold Coast Airport and a short drive to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Burleigh Head National Park.

Luxury 3- and 4-bedroom fully self-contained apartments with sea-view balconies and north-facing outlooks. Units are air-conditioned and feature terraces, seating areas and satellite TVs. Kitchens are fully equipped with dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, fridge and coffee machine. Family-friendly layouts and roomy beachfront living make it great for groups and multigenerational stays.

Outdoor fenced swimming pool, fitness room and a massage room set the tone for easy relaxation. Table tennis, picnic and barbecue areas, a garden and kids' playrooms keep everyone entertained. Bike and car rental, plus on-site parking, make exploring simple—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and walk straight to the sand.

Free Wi-Fi across the property and free private parking. An elevator provides easy access to apartments.

An on-site restaurant serves convenient meals, while apartments offer full kitchens for self-catering. Barbecue facilities and private patios are available during warmer months for casual seaside cookouts.
