Highlights

The Resort — Winner of Best Family Resort in Australia…11 years in a row!

Experience an unforgettable family holiday at Paradise Resort Gold Coast — voted Australia’s Best Family Resort 11 years in a row by leading family travel magazine Holidays with Kids. Fresh from a phenomenal 12-million-dollar refurbishment, this incredible, 100% smoke-free resort has a new look, with an upgraded foyer, restaurants, waterpark and redesigned rooms — elevating the whole property to a new level of style and quality. Step through the refreshed foyer and find a fun-filled family haven with plenty to keep all ages entertained.

Splash about in the three-storey Z4K Water Park, an incredible aquatic playground with slides, water cannons, climbing frames and more. Watch out for the giant tipping bucket that fills with 600 litres of water before emptying every few minutes over guests below in a giant (and hilarious) splash! Little ones can enjoy their own mini water park, including a slippery slide and paddling pool with a gently sloping beach entry, while adults can plunge into the heated outdoor pool, sitting at a pleasant temperature year-round.

Slide into the coolest place in the Gold Coast and book tickets for Planet Chill, Paradise Resort’s very own ice-skating rink. Big and little kids (aged three years and above) can escape the Queensland heat and take to the skates for an ‘icecapade’ at this year-round attraction — there are even fibreglass penguins to aid beginners. Afterwards, head downstairs to the refreshed, cute and quirky Penguins Restaurant for a relaxed dining experience where even the pickiest eaters will find something they like. Alternatively, head to Deb’s Pizza Shack or Jerry’s Burger Bar for a feast, or fuel up with a freshly brewed barista coffee at the onsite café. Stock up on holiday essentials at the large onsite mini-mart, including snacks, ice-creams and bottle shop.

The fun doesn’t stop there: the resort offers everything for an action-packed family holiday, including laser tag, a jungle gym, games room, adventure park, climbing wall, live character shows and — if you’re staying between April and September — poolside movies. Adults can squeeze in some relaxation while the little ones have a blast at the Kids’ Club — the only one in Australia to cater for ages 6 weeks to 12 years.

The Mini Fun Park guarantees nonstop fun for under 12s. Blast off and explore the galaxy in Astro’s Space Station, trek the jungle in Dusty’s Safari Room, search for buried treasure in Under Water World or play in the Magic Garden’s colourful ball pit, where the Kids’ Club team of ‘Holiday Heroes’ provide an unrivalled activities program to entertain and engage. From pyjama parties and disco nights to arts, crafts and movies, there are endless opportunities for the young ones to make new friends and memories.

If you want to venture out, Paradise Resort is perfectly situated only moments from the Gold Coast’s beautiful beaches and the bustling hub of Surfers Paradise. Head out for an action-packed day at the region’s iconic theme parks including Sea World, Wet ‘N’ Wild and Dreamworld, or immerse yourselves in nature with rainforest walks and wildlife sanctuaries.
