Sanctuary Cove is serving up the ultimate Gold Coast winter staycation

May 27, 2026, updated May 27, 2026

If your ideal winter plans involve waterfront cocktails, crisp sunny afternoons and slow mornings wrapped up in a plush robe, Sanctuary Cove has your seasonal escape sorted. This winter, the Gold Coast destination is inviting guests to embrace the cooler months with its new ‘A Warmer Way to Winter’ offer – a luxe getaway package filled with long lunches, cosy dinners and laid-back indulgence by the water.

The luxury winter escape begins with a minimum two-night stay at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort, where palm-lined lagoons, tropical gardens and sprawling suites make it easy to slip into holiday mode. Each morning starts with a delicious buffet breakfast for two at Cove Cafe, complete with barista coffee and made-to-order omelettes, before guests ease into sun-drenched days exploring the precinct at their own pace – think marina strolls, boutique shopping, waterfront lunches and golden-hour sips.

The package also includes a $50 dining credit to spend at Lagoon Beach Club or The Fireplace, meaning poolside cocktails, flame-kissed steak feasts and cosy winter dinners are very much encouraged. Guests will also be treated to a complimentary grazing board paired with two glasses of wine at Verandah Bar, right beside the resort’s grand fireplace.

Beyond the resort, guests can put their $50 Sanctuary Cove Marine Village gift card towards waterfront dining, boutique finds or a little spontaneous holiday splurging between coffees (at participating venues). Golfers can tee off with a $20 discount at The Palms Golf Course, while complimentary parking keeps the whole getaway fuss-free.

With waterfront cocktails, marina strolls and long lunches all part of the itinerary, Sanctuary Cove is bringing a little extra luxury to winter on the Gold Coast.
