Forget one-size-fits-all holidays – kid-friendly mecca Paradise Resort in Surfers Paradise is letting families take the reins with its new ‘Vacay Your Way’ offer, giving you the freedom to plan the kind of getaway that best suits your crew. Want to flop by the pool with a cocktail while the kids go wild in Kids Club? Done. Prefer to hit Dreamworld by day and glide around the resort’s ice rink by night? You got it. The only decision you’ll need to make is how much fun you can fit in.
Paradise Resort’s ‘Vacay Your Way’ offer features three tailored packages that are stacked with perks and made for families who want more than just a bed and buffet.
The ‘Stop ’n’ Flop’ package is the resort’s laid-back three-night offering – perfect for when you just need a break from the everyday. It includes daily buffet breakfast at Penguins Restaurant, a Kids Club session for each child, resort credits and a late checkout so there’s no rush to pack up and head home. You’ll still have access to all of the resort’s kid-approved action – think the giant water park, laser tag arena and daily activities – but there’s plenty of space to do nothing at all, too.
‘Thrill ’n’ Chill’ dials things up a notch. This five-night package is made for families who want a bit of everything – the excitement of theme parks with enough downtime to recharge by the pool. It includes entry to Dreamworld and SkyPoint, plus a Kids Club session per child, daily breakfast and bonus ice-skating passes to keep the good times rolling back at basecamp.
Finally, the ‘I Want It All’ package is just that – a full week of wall-to-wall fun. Across seven nights, families score Dreamworld passes, food and activity credits for things like laser tag and ice-skating, daily buffet breakfast and not one but two Kids Club sessions per child (with half-price extras if they’re hooked). It’s the kind of package that keeps everyone entertained from check-in to check out.
Whether you’re after a lazy long weekend or a high-energy week of theme-park thrills, there’s an option to suit your family’s vibe. The ‘Vacay Your Way’ offer is available on selected dates until September 18, 2026 – and with just a 10-percent deposit to book, it’s never been easier to turn that “we should go away sometime” conversation into an actual plan.
