Kudos to anyone who managed to get through the silly season unscathed. Between the back-to-back Christmas parties, fluctuating Secret Santa politics, New Year’s Eve pressure, last-minute shopping sprints and that blurred week where no one knows what day it is, December really tested us. And then just when you thought it was over, January came roaring in with a social calendar that refused to slow down.

If you’re dreaming of a few days to recharge, soak up some sun and leave the madness behind, this is where Dorsett Gold Coast enters the chat.

Right now, the Broadbeach favourite is offering up to 32% off when you book before 28 February, making it oh-so easy to trade the seemingly never-ending festive frenzy for coastal calm.

The sunshine-soaked stay is right in the heart of beautiful, breezy Broadbeach, putting you within easy strolling distance of the stunning shoreline, shopping precincts, live shows and the GC’s top dining destinations. There’s no need for frantic Uber refreshes or navigating unfamiliar bus routes, everything you need is right on your doorstep.

In fact, you don’t even have to leave the hotel to benefit from one of the GC’s biggest perks. The Isoletto Pool Club is the hero hangout at Dorsett Gold Coast. Perched just above the buzz on the sixth floor, this sun-soaked playground is designed for lazy lounging, prime people-watching and maximum holiday-mode activation. Palm trees dot the deck, lounges line the water’s edge, and comfy cabanas invite you to settle in and stay awhile.

There’s also a 12-metre viewing wall overlooking Broadbeach, plus vibrant orange-striped sun umbrellas (eerily similar in shade to the Aperol that may or may not be in your hand). Yep, and to make your life easy, QR code ordering is available around the pool, ensuring that snacks and sips are never far away.

Another big win of staying at Dorsett Gold Coast is the sheer volume of food options packed into a few walkable blocks. From casual cafes for morning fuel to refined restaurants and buzzing bars, the neighbourhood serves up something for every appetite at every hour.

Coffee turns into brunch, brunch turns into long lunches, happy hour follows and then dinner always ends with late-night gelato. It’s a delicious, delightfully slippery slope that’ll have you eating well from dusk ‘til dawn.

Back at the hotel, rooms are thoughtfully designed for switching off between adventures. The calming tones, plush bedding and natural light make it the ideal setting for slow mornings, afternoon naps and post-beach resets. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with a posse, or riding solo for some sunshine therapy, it's the kind of space that’ll make you feel instantly at ease.

As good as the location, lifestyle and amenities are, it’s the current offer that’ll truly seal the deal. To score up to 32% off, book before 28 February, with travel available right through to 30 June. The offer combines a generous 20% saving on Best Flexible Room Only and Room with Breakfast rates, with an additional 12% off for Dorsett Your Rewards members.

This means you can lock in your next escape now, have something in the calendar to genuinely look forward to, and treat yourself to a few days of sun, sand and serious R&R. All you have to do is pick your dates, pack your swimmers and start counting down to the ultimate summer reset.
