The only thing better than camping? Glamping. Combining the creature comforts of a hotel stay with the dopamine release of embracing the great outdoors, glamping is perfect for anyone looking to get back to nature – without actually getting back to nature. Here are three places to go glamping near the Gold Coast.
Australia’s first ‘glamping by the sea’ experience has been a firm favourite since opening in 2019. Located where beautiful bushland meets the ocean – with views across the mountains to match – find this glamping getaway on the Tweed Coast, just 15 minutes south of the Gold Coast. The ultimate in luxe outdoor accommodation, The Hideaway offers three styles of bell tents complete with top-quality bedding, mood lighting, floor rugs, soft furnishings and plush bath towels. The resort also offers an array of open-air spaces, contemporary suite bathrooms and communal entertaining areas, uniquely built into shipping containers.
A new offering from the already-iconic QT Gold Coast, qtQT seamlessly blends laid-back with luxe. Sitting atop the Gold Coast’s most-loved designer playground, this open-air sanctuary lets you sprawl out or get cosy, nestled in your very own cabin. Surrounded by tropical greenery and overlooking the horizon, your private rooftop is styled with eclectic decor and stocked with a collection of neighbourhood amenities. Surfboards, a firepit and alfresco dining space outside, while inside your cabin is stocked with board games, Dyson hair appliances and the cosiest I Love Linen robes (to name just a few).
Unyoked was founded on the notion that a regular dose of nature soothes all modern afflictions. Being in nature has been scientifically proven to help you de-stress, think better and be happier, so booking one of these cosy cabins could almost be seen as a health retreat? With cabins all over the place – including ten around the Gold Coast region – Unyoked makes it easier and more convenient than ever to immerse yourself in the wilderness (and feel the benefits).
