Sunshine Coast boutique hotels and accommodation

It’s no secret that sunshine is good for the soul. Why do you think the laid-back tunes of reggae come from the Caribbean, or surfing was perfected in Hawaii? People living the “fun in the sun” lifestyle just know how to have a good time.

On Australia’s Sunshine Coast, the claim to fame is a little less well-known, but just as great: Friendly locals, lots of sunshine and a hospitality industry that’s got service down to a science. Just let the boutique Sunshine Coast hotels show you how it’s done.

Find Your Ray of Sunshine

In a place with a name like the Sunshine Coast, it’s obvious who the star of the show is. It’s a literal star, the most powerful one in the sky—the sun! We’ve got loads of Sunshine Coast boutique hotels that will let you enjoy those famous rays as much as you want, whether that means poolside with a frosty adult beverage, lounging in the sand on the beach or even taking on more active pursuits.

On the northern end of the coast, Maison Noosa Beachfront Resort has both a pool and a beachside locale you can take advantage of. The huge heated pool and spa should be enough to impress you, but if you just have to hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, this modern hotel also has direct access to Noosa Main Beach.

If you do tire of lying around—not that you ever would—Noosa is the perfect spot for some outdoorsy adventure, too. You’ve got two protected parks nearby that are like mountainous magnets for bushwalkers and explorers: Noosa National Park and Great Sandy National Park. Sign up for a guided kayak tour, or just grab a map and go it alone. That’s what we call channelling your inner Cas and Jonesy.

When You’re Feeling Peckish

What’s another awesome part of staying at boutique hotels in Sunshine Coast? The title of this section is a hint: It’s the delicious, amazing food. And while we wouldn’t claim that an awesome view makes your food taste better, it definitely doesn’t hurt. In Caloundra, you’ll find plenty of waterfront dining. Just walk along the Esplanade and take your pick from fresh seafood to Italian to Thai—all served with a side of sea breeze. Got leftovers? Your kitchenette is just steps away at OVR Caloundra.

Sure, you’re thinking, food is great. But what about the pub scene? For that, you’ll want to head to Maroochydore. This town smack in the middle of the Sunshine Coast gets high marks for its nightlife scene. Load up on carbs at Duporth Tavern, then head to Solbar on Ocean Street to dance the night away. Soak those tired toes in the spa at your Sunshine Coast boutique accommodation and you’ll be ready to do it all again the next night!

The Sunshine Coast is everything you’d want from a holiday—but don’t take our word for it. When you book one of the best boutique hotels in Sunshine Coast, you’ll have service so personalised, they’ll give you recommendations on what thongs to wear to dinner. And yes, in the laid-back Sunshine Coast, that’s exactly what you’re going to do!
