A Relaxed Coolangatta Escape: Mantra Twin Towns

Coolangatta is the epitome of a relaxed beachside escape. The destination is nestled on the southern tip of the Gold Coast where the hustle and bustle of the ‘city’ melts into the distance leaving behind a classy and relaxed nook of the coast.

Mind you, classy and relaxed is not code for boring, Coolangatta offers much in the way of entertainment, dining, and picturesque coastline including the phenomenal view back to Surfers Paradise.

‘Coolie’ as it’s affectionately known to locals, also sports the world famous ‘Super break’ home of the internationally attended Quiksilver Pro Surf Competition. Meaning at any point during your holiday you can pop down to the beach and pick up a learn-to-surf lesson on some of the best waves getting around in Australia. Of course, no one will blame you if you’d prefer to simply relax seaside and soak up the sunshine!

In fact Coolangatta delivers pristine beaches in a variety of samples. From the aforementioned super break at Snapper Rocks and Duranbah where you will find waves for days to the calmer Greenmount and Rainbow beach that are protected by headland making them suitable for families with smaller children. They also boast plenty of sandy space to set up a beach tent, play beach cricket, or simply stretch out to enjoy the view. No matter how you prefer to enjoy the beach, there is a stretch of coastline just waiting for you to come and enjoy it.

If you happen to be holidaying in Coolangatta in June, your vacation may coincide with another massive event on the Gold Coast’s southern tip - ‘Cooly Rocks On’. This event is Australia’s largest 50’s and 60’s nostalgia festival that sees the town come alive with hot rod cars, rockabilly style, and food stalls from the era wafting delectable scents down the street.

Of course, no Coolangatta holiday would be complete without sampling the region’s culinary delights, and the Southern Gold Coast has plenty to offer. Along the waterfront there are cafés galore including Gloria Jeans, The Black Sheep Espresso Bar, and Koffee at Tiffanys just to name a few. If you prefer your coffee with an aerial beach view, check out Café Dbar sitting atop Duranbah hill overlooking the surf break. Attached to the café is an art gallery perfect for souvenirs or taking home a slice of your luxury holiday.
