Australia's Gold Coast combines long surf beaches with a densely developed resort strip. Inland rainforest and quieter coastal neighborhoods provide a contrast to the main entertainment areas.

The Darling at The Star Gold Coast is a 56-suite luxury enclave above Broadbeach, pairing huge glass-wrapped accommodations, a private pool and direct access to The Star’s dining and entertainment.

JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa is a lush Surfers Paradise resort built around tropical pools and a saltwater lagoon filled with marine life, with broad family, dining and wellness amenities.
