There is something special about the Sunshine Coast in winter. The beaches are quieter, the skies seem even bluer and the days are made for slowing down. It's the season of crisp morning walks, long lunches, spectacular sunsets and, if you're lucky, spotting humpback whales as they make their annual journey along the coastline.

Now, there's one more reason to plan your winter escape.

We are delighted to introduce our brand-new outdoor spa at Coolum Beach Resort, joining our heated swimming pool to create the perfect place to relax after a day spent exploring everything Coolum has to offer.

Whether you've been walking the coastal boardwalk, enjoying a morning swim or simply soaking up the ocean views from your balcony, there's nothing quite like finishing the day with a warm soak under the open sky.

Your Winter Escape Starts Here

Winter holidays look a little different on the Sunshine Coast.

Instead of heavy jackets and grey skies, you'll find comfortable sunny days, fresh ocean air and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. It's the perfect time to explore without the summer crowds while still making the most of the beach.

After a day by the ocean, our new spa offers the perfect place to warm up, unwind and let the day's worries melt away. Pair it with a swim in our heated pool and you'll quickly understand why winter is becoming one of the best times to visit Coolum.

Sometimes the best holiday plans are the simplest—coffee on the balcony, a stroll along the beach, lunch in one of Coolum's fantastic cafés, then back to the resort for an afternoon in the spa.

Front-Row Seats to the Coast

One of the things guests love most about staying at Coolum Beach Resort is the location.

Step outside and you're moments from the golden sands of Coolum Beach. Whether you're an early riser chasing sunrise, love watching the surfers from the shoreline or simply enjoy feeling the sand beneath your feet, everything is right on your doorstep.

During winter, keep your eyes on the horizon. Whale season runs from June to October, and humpback whales are often spotted migrating past Coolum Beach. Watching them breach from the shoreline is one of those unforgettable experiences that reminds you just how incredible this coastline really is.

Relaxation Comes Naturally

Holidays should never feel rushed.

Our spacious apartments have been designed to make it easy to settle in and feel at home. Open-plan living spaces are filled with natural light, private balconies capture the sea breeze and every apartment offers a comfortable place to relax after a day spent outdoors.

Now, with our brand-new spa, there is even more reason to slow down.

Spend an hour soaking in the warm water before heading back to your apartment with a glass of wine, your favourite book or simply the sound of the waves rolling in nearby.

Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what a holiday is all about.

Discover Coolum at Its Best

Coolum has a unique way of making people slow down.

Browse local boutiques, enjoy fresh seafood overlooking the ocean, walk the spectacular coastal pathways or challenge yourself with the climb up Mount Coolum for panoramic views across the coastline.

For surfers, Coolum is one of the Sunshine Coast's most iconic beaches. For everyone else, it's simply a beautiful place to watch the waves, breathe in the salty air and embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes this part of Queensland so loved.

No matter how you choose to spend your days, you'll always have somewhere peaceful to return to.
