A little slice of Miami on the coastGold Coast, Australia
If Palm Springs and a dreamy Pinterest board had a baby, it would be The Shores Miami. Smack bang on the Gold Coast, just a thong’s throw from the beach, this boutique bolthole is the kind of place your inner maximalist and outer minimalist will both approve of.
Designed by interiors wizard Jason Grant, the vibe is coastal cool with a twist of nostalgic fabulous. Think pastel tones, playful patterns, and all the modern conveniences your influencer heart desires (yes, the lighting is that good). Want to blast your poolside playlist while sipping a Hard Fizz? Sorted. Prefer to let AI Sheila handle your check-in? She’s on it; Australia’s first-ever AI concierge and your new favourite virtual mate.
Inside, it’s mindful, minimal and very millennial right down to the makeup-friendly mirrors and sneaky charging stations. Outside, it’s an Instagram dream, complete with curated collabs, surround sound vibes and the same motel that once starred in a Sneaky Sound System music video. (Yep, that “UFO” clip. We just saved you a ton of Googling.)
Whether you’re escaping for a girls’ weekend, a solo scroll detox, or a midweek retreat with your situationship, The Shores Miami is the place where tan lines fade, but the stories (and selfies) stick. This place is simply aesthetic to the max.
The hotel is super easy to get to and just minutes from Burleigh Heads Beach.
