Signature features include a spacious rooftop terrace, offering panoramic vistas of both the coastal expanse and hinterland, perfect for indulging in cocktails at sunset or simply absorbing the surrounding beauty. The resort's residences boast refined contemporary design, with fully equipped kitchens, cleverly integrated spaces, and private balconies that invite the outside in.

Enjoy bar-hopping to vibrant watering holes and cafes, or soak up local flavors at The Paddock Bakery, a beloved eatery just a stone's throw away. Nature enthusiasts will revel in the nearby Burleigh Head National Park, where hiking trails unveil stunning coastal views and flora, while whale sightings are a seasonal highlight. Nearby attractions such as the Burleigh Heads Art and Crafts Market showcase local artisans and fresh produce, making for weekends rich in shopping and culture.

Room Information

Swell Resort offers 12 distinct room categories, featuring smartly designed Two and Three Bedroom Apartments perfect for families or small groups. Each apartment ranges from 1,000 to over 1,450 square feet, providing generous living spaces with separate sitting areas. Amenities include full kitchens and laundry facilities, reverse cycle air conditioning, and Smart TVs. Guests appreciate the combination of stylish decor and functional layouts, accommodating both relaxation and entertainment.

Room Upgrades

Guests can opt for upgraded offerings in the form of Executive and Superior Three Bedroom Apartments, sprawling up to 1,450 square feet. These expansive layouts can comfortably host up to 6 guests, featuring exquisite finishes with polished stone benchtops, upscale furniture, and breathtaking ocean views from private balconies. The master suite presents a king-sized bed with an ensuite bathroom, complemented by additional bedrooms styled with queen and single beds, ideal for larger families or groups seeking a luxurious escape.

“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its location near Burleigh Beach and the convenience of self-contained apartments. The heated magnesium pool and tennis court add definite appeal for active families, while its proximity to James Street places guests steps away from dining and shopping. I think it's a solid choice for those wanting a blend of relaxation and local exploration.”
