Paradise Resort Surfers Paradise

Paradise Resort at Surfers Paradise is known as 'heaven for kids...paradise for parents' - and for good reason.

Often described as a mini theme park or a cruise ship on land, Paradise Resort features a water park, ice-skating rink and an epic kids club, ensuring that this is one place the kids will never want to leave.

The Resort offers a range of accommodation options throughout its 360 guest rooms, with family comfort a focus, including themed King and Junior Bunkhouse rooms and larger rooms that can cater for families of up to 8.

The famous water park, one of the resort's major highlights, features a giant water playground with a refreshing lagoon pool, large heated spa and two massive aqua play attractions. Both the 0-5 year and 5-12 year water parks offer a myriad of slides, water cannons and jets to entertain and engage the whole family, topped off with a giant bucket that fills with 600 litres of water before dumping it all on the kids below in one enormous splash.

The Resort’s iconic Kids Club is designed just for kids as a place to make new friends and create memories with fun and engaging activities. There are pyjama parties, disco nights, arts and crafts, carnival activities and loads more adventures waiting to be had. Unlike any other kids club in Australia, when you book direct with the resort you will receive up to 4 hours of supervised care for all kids 0-12years each day, which allows parents time to escape the daily routine and indulge in some holiday sightseeing or precious down time. This is just one of their many ‘book direct perks’.

And, while the children are happily ensconced at the Kids Club, parents will soon be able to relax and take a ‘guilt free’ break in the Lounge Bar and Pool Deck exclusive for grown-ups. The Zone 4 Adults area is for over 18s only, and features a new swimming pool, lounge bar and area for mums and dads to relax and unwind child-free while the kids are being looked after.

Paradise Resort Gold Coast is the only place where kids can enjoy the best of both summer and winter activities too, with another major attraction - its own ice-skating rink. You can take the kids ice-skating these school holidays for just $20 a person. Tickets available HERE.

And that's not all - with a range of dining outlets to choose from, an indoor and outdoor playground, daily resort activities and entertainment program, cardio gym and mini supermarket, you could stay here without having to set foot outside. But if you do, there's plenty of great things right on the resort's doorstep, from the patrolled surf beach to Surfers Paradise's many attractions and family friendly eateries, including the revamped Surfers Paradise Beer Garden.
