Nestled on Ferny Avenue, JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa is conveniently located near the Gold Coast Convention Centre and popular attractions like Sea World Gold Coast. The resort provides easy access to the stunning beaches of Surfers Paradise, as well as the majestic hinterland of the Gold Coast. This prime spot allows guests to explore shopping districts and cultural precincts nearby.

The Pool Pavilion provides poolside dining with local and Asian-inspired dishes served in a unique setting.
“This Surfers Paradise resort knows its audience: families who want both luxury and fuss-free fun. The private saltwater lagoon is a winner, but the cooking classes and farm-to-table program elevate the experience beyond typical beachfront fare. I especially like the unique architecture, particularly that grand staircase.”
