InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort

This iconic luxury holiday oasis is less than an hour's drive from Brisbane CBD, yet a world away, with everything you could wish for a memorable and relaxing family getaway.

Surrounded by 4.2 hectares of lush tropical gardens, InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort is nestled right in the heart of beautiful Sanctuary Cove and all of the fantastic lifestyle facilities that it has to offer, including a first class golf course, shopping and dining.

The five-star resort offers a stunning, recently refurbished collection of guest rooms (Marina, Garden or Lagoon View), suites and premium amenities. Children will love the one acre salt water lagoon pool located alongside the Coomera River, while parents will enjoy relaxing on a sun lounge at the Terrace Pool and Spa, where light refreshments and drinks are available. 

With a raft of tempting in-house dining options, there's no need to leave the resort's luxe surrounds. Indulge in a gourmet breakfast and barista-made coffee in the garden-pavilion style Cove Cafe, and during the day enjoy a poolside cocktail and bite to eat at The Pool House, on the beach lagoon.

Popular destination The Fireplace offers signature dining, with interactive chef stations preparing food in front of diners, while Verandah Restaurant & Bar makes the perfect spot for parents to enjoy a nightcap after the kids are tucked up in bed. In-room dining is also available for a lazy night in watching movies.

Children are well catered for at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort, with a fantastic Planet Trekkers Kids Club (for ages 4-12 years) offering a jam-packed program of activities and experiences, including indoor games in the Garden Lounge, a golf buggy tour and a torch safari, as well as a nutritious menu of meals and snacks.

Whilst the kids are having the time of their life with all of the fun-filled activities, parents can spend a day enjoying some of the grown-up fun to be had, from the international first class golf course, to the fashion boutiques, galleries and sophisticated dining at the Sanctuary Cove Marine Village, a pampering session at nearby Champions Hair Beauty Day Spa or workout at Sanctuary Cove Country Club (complimentary access to resort guests).

The resort is just a two minute walk to the beautiful Marine Village, which is well worth exploring. From here, you can even take a ferry to South Stradbroke Island, via the scenic Gold Coast waterways. Sanctuary Cove is also less than ten minutes' drive from beloved theme parks Movie World and Wet'n'Wild and half an hours drive from the Gold Coast beaches, so it's the perfect base for a family holiday.
