Picture Perfect: The Most Instagrammable Spots Near Your Gold Coast Stay

The Gold Coast isn’t just a beach town — it’s a backdrop for your best holiday memories (and your most-liked photos). Whether you’re a seasoned content creator or just love snapping the perfect sunset, here’s your go-to list of Instagram-worthy spots — all close to your Gold Coast Luxury Resorts stay.

1. Sunrise at Burleigh Hill

An early morning hike (or stroll) to the top of Burleigh Headland delivers sweeping views of the coastline with the city skyline glowing in the morning light. It’s a golden-hour favourite for locals and visitors alike.

Photo tip: Head up just before sunrise for softer light and fewer people.

2. The Jewel Buildings from the Beach

Staying at Jewel? Step outside at golden hour and look back. The three crystalline towers rising from the sand are architectural icons — especially when the sun hits the glass.

Photo tip: Shoot from low on the beach for that striking sky-to-sand contrast.

3. Miami Street Art

The industrial-style laneways of Miami are bursting with bold murals, colourful graffiti, and funky signage — perfect for artsy, urban-style shots.

Photo tip: Visit the walls near Miami Marketta for the best light and lines.

4. Budds Beach Vibes

Just a short walk from Surfers Paradise, Budds Beach is a peaceful riverfront pocket with palm trees, quiet water and retro boatsheds. It’s an underrated, super photogenic slice of old-school Gold Coast charm.

Photo tip: Bring a coffee from Bumbles Café for the full aesthetic.

5. Cocktails at Lulu Rooftop

Sitting sky-high above Surfers Paradise, Lulu Rooftop offers tropical cocktails, luxe lounge vibes, and panoramic skyline views. With its greenery-filled design and coastal glam aesthetic, it’s a dream backdrop for golden hour drinks.

Photo tip: Time your visit for late afternoon to catch that soft light as the city lights begin to glow.

6. Your Balcony View (Seriously!)

Let’s not forget the hero shot — your GCLR apartment balcony. With oceanfront views, floor-to-ceiling windows, and luxury styling, your stay is made for photos.

Photo tip: Sunrise silhouettes, cheese boards at sunset, or a robe-and-coffee shot always perform.
