Hotels and Accommodation in Broadbeach

Broadbeach is the Gold Coast, but all grown up. You’ve still got the surf, the sun, and the salty air — but instead of wild nights out, it’s rosé lunches, beach yoga, and rooftop cocktails with a view.

Tucked just south of Surfers Paradise, Broadie, as the locals know it, trades party vibes for something a little more polished. There's the Pacific Fair for your shopping fix, the G:link tram for car-free cruising, and leafy parks where the markets pop up on weekends. Add in big-name gigs at The Star and a calendar full of festivals — like Blues on Broadbeach — and you’ve got a spot that balances buzz with breezy.

Whether you’re here for a summer escape, a long weekend or a work trip that doubles as a beach break, there’s a stay to match. Luxe towers, family-sized apartments, cosy beach pads — it’s all here, just steps from the sand.

Where to stay in Broadbeach

• Beachfront (Old Burleigh Road): Wake up to waves and wander down to Kurrawa Surf Club for breakfast. This stretch is lined with sky-high apartments, most with balconies made for sea breezes and sundowners.
• Oracle Boulevard precinct: Right behind the beach and full of buzz. You’ve got top dining spots like Mamasan and Social Eating House downstairs, and rooftop pools upstairs. Great for couples or anyone chasing luxe with a local vibe.
• Near Pacific Fair & Broadbeach South Station: Base yourself near one of Australia’s largest luxury shopping centre and The Star casino. You’re close to the tram line, and just a few blocks back, there’s leafy Federation Park and roomy apartments for longer stays.

How much is Broadbeach accommodation?

Broadbeach leans polished, but you don’t need a platinum card to stay here. The average room sits around AU$230 per night, though you’ll find cheaper digs if you look inland — and deals midweek or outside school holidays.

• Backpackers & hostels: From AU$45. Broadbeach’s light on dorm beds, but Surfers Paradise has classic backpacker joints just a few tram stops north. Closer in, you’ll find low-cost motels and shared apartments tucked off the main drag.
• Budget motels & older apartments: From AU$110. No-frills but well-located. These spots give you a comfy bed, maybe a pool, and easy access to the beach — minus the beachfront price tag.
• Mid-range hotels & family apartments: From AU$180. The Broadbeach sweet spot. Think ocean breezes, kitchen setups, and pools to cool off in. Ideal for families or longer stays where a little extra space goes a long way.
• Luxury resorts & penthouses: From AU$350 and up. This is where Broadbeach shines. Rooftop pools, ocean-facing balconies, and all the bells and whistles — especially along Old Burleigh Road and in the Oracle precinct.

Tips for finding the perfect accommodation in Broadbeach

• Let your holiday style lead the way: Beachfront if you want the ocean on your doorstep, Oracle for foodie weekends, or the leafy backstreets if you’re staying a while and need space to stretch out.
• Pick your season wisely: Broadbeach booms in June–July with winter sun-seekers, and again over Christmas and Easter. For smaller crowds and better deals, May and October hit that golden middle ground — still warm, still beachy, just less hustle.
• Avoid late November unless you packed earplugs: Schoolies week brings crowds, parties and plenty of noise. If you’re not here to celebrate the end of Year 12, best to steer clear.
• Traveloka filters means fewer headaches: Looking for ocean views, a kitchenette, or somewhere kid-free? Our filters help you skip the scroll and lock in what matters most.
