Melbourne Cup at La Luna Beach Club

The Gold Coast’s most glamorous Melbourne Cup celebration returns to the water this year as La Luna Beach Club at Marina Mirage transforms its floating oasis into a dazzling race-day affair. With a luxe Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere, sweeping marina views and chic seaside energy, La Luna sets the scene for a day of racing, revelry and waterfront style.

With private cabana packages already snapped up, La Luna Beach Club’s poolside party is shaping up as the place to be. Guests can soak up the race-day action surrounded by sparkling water and clinking champagne flutes, while grazing on roaming canapes like XO prawn rolls and kingfish ceviche with pineapple and yuzu. A sizzling live barbecue station and a three-hour deluxe beverage package will keep the good times flowing, while Siesta Cartel and resident DJs set the soundtrack to a sun-drenched afternoon as the big race streams live across giant waterfront screens.

For those who prefer their Cup Day at a slower pace, MĀRE Restaurant by La Luna is hosting a Mediterranean-inspired four-course long lunch, paired with three hours of flowing drinks, including unlimited Belvedere Italian Spritz and Aperol Spritz. Overlooking the marina and soundtracked by Siesta Cartel, it’s a long lunch that captures the essence of the Riviera, right here on the Gold Coast.

Whether you’re sipping champagne by the pool or indulging in a lavish alfresco feast, La Luna Beach Club blends race-day sophistication with sweeping marina views and a hint of Greek Island charm. Tickets are selling fast – head here to book your spot.
