Under New Friendly and Helpful Management. Sanctuary Beach Resort is on absolute beachfront here at Currumbin Beach, Gold Coast, Australia. We have a variety of unique 2 bedroom or 3 bedroom fully self contained units with the complex having direct access to the beach with no roads to cross. Enjoy our beautiful pool, surrounding gardens and family BBQ areas, or take a hit of tennis on our court. We have delightful local cafes and boutiques located on Pacific Parade, which is a three minute walk along the beach. The Iconic Currumbin Vikings Surf Club is also located just three minutes up the beach with 180 degree views of the Pacific ocean. You can see clearly all the way from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta on the top of the Elephant Rock lookout, and the famous Currumbin Alley is only a further 5 minutes walk along the beach, a surfing mecca. The complex has secure basement carparking and is across the road from the popular Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Please note we have stair access only!

We stayed for 8 nights in apartment 34, which is a 3 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms. Was perfect as my parents stayed with us upstairs and had their own private area. Whilst my husband and I stayed downstairs with our children. This property is incredibly beautiful. The grounds are immaculate and so to are the apartments. The pool is not large however you don’t need a big pool, as the ocean is a 1 Minute walk away. There are bbq’s around the pool that are also kept extremely clean… we ended up eating around the pool & bbq most nights. I found this place more relaxing than others that we have stayed at.. less noisy and pure tranquility. Thanks to Pete you were a legend! We shall be back

We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a sea view on the second level which had a walk in wardrobe and en suite along with a laundry with another shower and a separate toilet with a large well stocked kitchen/dining and lounge for the family to spread out in. The place has easy underground parking with access up to the rooms. The pool area with BBQs was great and very tidy. The place also has easy and close access to the beach and is well placed for driving to all the attractions the Gold coast has to offer. We were on the second level and at the start we did hear the planes but they aren't consistent and stopped at a good time and we didn't notice them after a couple of days, other than this the place is very quite. We would stay again when coming to the Gold Coast.

Whilst a bit dated, Sanctuary Beach Resort has a lot going for it not the least being the direct access to the beach but add to that it’s in the ideal position to easily reach most of the Gold Coasts major attractions. If you get tired of the surf you can relax by the resorts pool. We had a two level. 3 bed apartment which was spacious & clean with lots of included essentials for meals etc. The only negative would be the lack of a lift but needed the exercise.

We stayed for 5 nights and really loved the place. It is very next to the Tugun/Currumbin beach. The ambience is peaceful; the rooms were clean and spacious. We didn't go out much to the beach but there were lookout points for sunrise along the coastline that was be refreshing.

Trent L wrote a review Dec 2022
We have stayed at Sanctuary Beach resort a couple of times now. The apartment was spacious, clean and had everything you need for a week away. The location is the best bit though- absolute beach front, just walk out your door and across a footpath and you're there. Short walk to patrolled beaches, cafe's and restaurants at Tugun or Currumbin too. Very close to Gold Coast airport so there is a bit of noise from planes.

Had a great time. Apartment was clean and spacious. View was absolutely second to none. Stayed in U45. Reception staff were very friendly and made local recommendations. I’d stayed here before 20 years ago as a kid and it lived up to the great memories I had

Booking Procedure: I booked direct via phone, very pleasant to deal with. Our Check In was after hours and Very Easy. Positives: Spacious unit, just steps away from the beach. We booked a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom ocean view apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. We will definitely stay here again. Negatives: Not many, shower heads not so good, small bed in main bedroom seemed to be only a double ? Overall had a Great time and as stated before Will Definitely Stay here again.

For our first official family holiday this was an amazing place to stay! The apartment was clean and well presented with comfortable beds. The fantastic views of the beach was a hit with us! The pool is heated, a great spot for the kids to splash around. Lovely bbq area with beautiful gardens. A huge thank you to Peter and Nadine for a great week! 10/10!

For 3 families the accomodation was fantastic. We were all close together, a short walk to the beach front without having to cross roads. The units were well equipped, swimming pool and BBQ facilities were well utilised. Parking provided and great walking paths and surf club nearby.

We had a three bedroom unit which was amazing in size and beautifully presented. Best value for the money. Fantastic facilities for families which included a tennis court, heated pool and spa. Path direct to the beach, then a short stroll to the Surf Club.
