Top Things to Do on Your Holiday in Broadbeach When Staying at Phoenician Resort

Your holiday in Broadbeach works best when your accommodation puts you right where the action happens. Phoenician Resort sits in the absolute heart of Broadbeach, meaning everything exists within easy reach. Here’s how to make the most of this prime location.

Beach & Outdoor Fun

Kurrawa Beach sits barely 100 metres from your apartment door when Phoenician is your chosen holiday house in Broadbeach. This patrolled stretch of golden sand offers safe swimming, excellent surf conditions, and enough space that you’re never crammed shoulder-to-shoulder even during peak periods. Morning beach walks become routine when the sand is this accessible.

Adjacent to the beach, Kurrawa Park features the Gold Coast’s first All Abilities Playground. This inclusive space entertains kids of all ages while parents relax nearby. BBQ facilities throughout the park support casual lunches without restaurant bills. Volleyball courts provide active entertainment. The entire beachfront precinct becomes your extended living room when you holiday in Broadbeach.

Cascade Gardens offers a different outdoor experience. This riverside park combines extensive picnic areas with a unique sensory garden featuring fragrant blooms and interactive elements. The Nerang River setting creates tranquil ambience perfect for unwinding away from beach crowds. Kids burn energy while adults genuinely relax.

For adventure seekers, Broadbeach Surf School runs lessons from beginners to advanced. Learning to surf in patrolled waters with experienced instructors beats attempting it solo. The thrill of catching your first wave becomes a holiday highlight worth the lesson investment.

Shopping & Urban Exploration

Pacific Fair Shopping Centre demands serious time allocation. Over 400 stores span luxury brands to department stores to local designers. The open-air dining precinct provides caffeine breaks between shopping marathons. Smart shoppers visit during weekday mornings when crowds thin and parking becomes manageable.

The Oasis Shopping Centre offers a more intimate retail experience. Local boutiques carry unique finds absent from major chains. It’s where Broadbeach locals actually shop for daily needs, making it ideal for authentic rather than tourist-focused purchases.

Broadbeach Art and Craft Markets (first and third Sunday monthly) showcase local artisans and creators. Handmade jewellery, artworks, crafts, and gourmet foods create genuine market atmosphere. Arrive early for best selection and parking.

Food, Drink & Nightlife

Broadbeach’s dining scene punches well above typical tourist-town standards. Phoenician Resort’s Broadbeach Holiday Accommodation positions you in the restaurant precinct where genuine quality replaces tourist-trap mediocrity.

Kurrawa Surf Club delivers beachfront dining with spectacular coastal views and surprisingly sophisticated menus. The renovated venue balances classic surf club atmosphere with quality food that locals genuinely rate. Sunset sessions here become holiday traditions.

Queensland Avenue and its surrounds host dozens of restaurants spanning Italian, Japanese, Thai, modern Australian, and everything in between. You can literally wander until something appeals rather than pre-booking anything. Spontaneity actually works when quality options surround you.

The Star Gold Coast complex offers eight restaurants, five bars, and 24-hour gaming across 70 tables and 1600 machines. Whether you’re testing luck, catching live entertainment from international performers, or simply enjoying premium dining, The Star delivers full-spectrum entertainment.

For something uniquely Gold Coast, Dracula’s Cabaret Restaurant has entertained audiences for over 30 years with burlesque-style performances, comedy, and quality dining. It’s theatrical, slightly ridiculous, and genuinely entertaining if you embrace the camp atmosphere.

Culture & Events

Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre hosts year-round events from trade shows to concerts to sporting expos. Checking their schedule before your holiday in Broadbeach might align with special exhibitions or performances worth attending.

Broadbeach’s event calendar includes regular markets, outdoor concerts in parklands, and seasonal celebrations. The area’s walkability means discovering events organically rather than planning everything rigidly. Let the area reveal itself.

Day Trips & Short Excursions

The G:link light rail at Broadbeach’s doorstep connects you to Surfers Paradise in minutes. Experience the iconic energy, visit SkyPoint for Gold Coast views, or simply browse different beach vibes before returning to Broadbeach’s calmer atmosphere.

Gold Coast theme parks (Dreamworld, Movie World, Wet’n’Wild, Sea World) sit 15 to 25 minutes away by car. Families with kids can enjoy day trips, and should book online for better rates than gate prices.

The Gold Coast Hinterland offers rainforest escapes, mountain villages, and spectacular lookouts within 45 minutes’ drive. Tamborine Mountain and Springbrook National Park provide cool-climate relief from beach heat alongside stunning natural beauty.

Burleigh Heads National Park and its famous headland walk deliver coastal scenery worth the short drive south. The walking trail combines ocean views with rainforest sections before emerging at Burleigh Beach.
