Explore the Local Area
Perfectly positioned yet peacefully secluded, Sanctuary Beach Resort is ideally situated for those wishing to embrace Queensland's Southern Gold Coast. Just a mere stroll away from the celebrated Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary - renowned for its immersive animal experiences - guests can find solace on the pristine beaches. What's more, the famous Currumbin Alley provides excellent surfing conditions just five minutes along the shoreline, while the vibrant cafes, boutique shops, and acclaimed dining at Tommy's restaurant are located just a short 5-10 minute walk away, making it highly convenient for a delightful culinary exploration. For nature enthusiasts, the picturesque walks along Pacific Parade are merely three minutes away, showcasing the effortless beauty of the local area. With Gold Coast Airport a mere 5 kilometers away, traveling to this beachfront paradise has never been easier.
Room Information
Sanctuary Beach Resort boasts a total of 12 three-bedroom apartments, each meticulously designed across expansive 1,200 sq ft layouts. Each apartment features a spacious master suite complete with en-suite facilities, two additional bedrooms with a second bathroom, and an airy, open-plan kitchen equipped with modern appliances. Every unit is designed for vibrant family living, benefitting from dual air conditioning and equipped with balconies that invite the stunning vistas of both pools and tropical gardens into your personal space.
Room Upgrades
For those seeking further luxury, guests can choose from two upgraded room types: the Ocean View Apartment (1,500 sq ft) with breathtaking views of the Pacific, or the two-level Penthouse Suite (1,800 sq ft) that features sprawling living spaces, luxurious bathrooms, and expansive outdoor terraces that promise unforgettable sunset moments. Both options elevate the escape, offering accommodations configured for larger families or groups, ensuring that everyone enjoys a lavish stay in paradise.
“Sanctuary Beach Resort strikes me as a place designed for unhurried family escapes. The individually-owned apartments offer a more residential feel, and the location-steps from Currumbin Beach and a short walk to the wildlife sanctuary-really appeals to families who want both relaxation and easy access to activities. It's a solid choice for those seeking a less frenetic Gold Coast experience.”
