Gather your sun-seeking family and make your way to Lagoon Beach Club at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort where you can embrace a Queensland kind of winter. Day-trippers can dive into extended vacation vibes and immerse themselves in the sun-drenched surroundings of the one-acre lagoon beach, the stunning heated terrace pool or outdoor spa, accessible for just $30 per person.
To maximise your fun, consider renting one of the three double cabanas available for a full or half-day. You can settle in for hours of bliss, cocktail in hand, while your kids have fun in the sun. When hunger hits, the kids’ menu ensures the little ones stay fueled up with options like pizza, chicken nuggets, and crispy fish and chips, complete with salad, lemon, and tartare sauce.
But it’s not just about the kids these school holidays. Discover hidden gems and renowned go-to spots in the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village. From bespoke boutiques filled with one-of-a-kind pieces from beloved labels to homewares and gift stores, the Marine Village is a treasure trove for lovers of retail therapy.
Savour authentic international dishes crafted by talented local chefs that take your taste buds on a global journey. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a leisurely waterfront lunch, a quick bite, or a grab-and-go coffee, the Marine Village offers a plethora of dining options to choose from. Or experience the essence of each season in a hand-crafted cocktail, savouring them as you watch the sun set at one of our beautiful marina-side bars.
When you’re all warmed up soaking in the Queensland sun, finish your day out on a (sugar) high with a mouth-watering dessert at Rosé Gelateria. Offering 24 unique flavours such as the people-pleasing choc hazelnut and a magnificent rock-salt caramel through to Italian pistachio, rum and raisin, and liquorice, Rosé Gelateria’s range is vast and constantly evolving to complement the good vibes.
If, like us, one day is not enough to soak in the sun, you can win the ultimate two-night winter getaway at Sanctuary Cove for a family of four in a twin room with breakfast, a $200 dining voucher for a local restaurant, a relaxing 90-minute river cruise for four people, and four single day passes to Dreamworld. Go to the Sanctuary Cove website to enter, but be quick – competition ends June 21.
