After months of renovation and an investment of $35 million, the transformation of Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa into JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa is complete – the first JW Marriott property in Australia. Named after the founder of the Marriott Corporation, the JW Marriott brand, with its distinctive luxury philosophy, will resonate with discerning travellers who seek “exceptional, thoughtfully crafted services and experiences”.

Each of the 223 rooms and suites has been upgraded with décor and a soothing coastal-inspired palette. This theme continues throughout the hotel, from its two restaurants and lobby lounge and bar to the new Japanese whisky bar with outdoor terrace and café and in-house providore, JW Market.



The major drawcard, the resort pools include a saltwater lagoon that is home to 300 tropical fish and a freshwater pool with a children’s slide, and guests can rent snorkels, flippers and underwater scooters. Plus there are private cabanas, lounge areas and poolside dining options.



Citrique, the signature all-day dining restaurant features an interactive kitchen presenting fresh local produce and seasonal specials, while the famous Teppanyaki restaurant, Misono is expanding to incorporate a sushi offering and Whisky bar.

For families, Family by JW is an interactive program which promotes engagement and enrichment through culinary experiences, activities and creativity. From express treatments to full-service indulgences, every aspect of the day spa experience is thoughtfully customised to provide a holistic approach to well-being in mind, body and spirit.

For events and conferences, level two of the property is dedicated to private celebrations and corporate functions, whatever the occasion, with 2,000 square metres of event space, featuring 10 scalable spaces, including the JW Ballroom and pool-view Tamborine Gallery.

Visitors and locals alike will be thrilled at the re-imagining of what is a Gold Coast landmark, now elevated to a beacon of hospitality dedicated to self-care and creating family memories.
