KAYAK's top tips for finding Main Beach hotel deals

  • How long should you stay? KAYAK users usually book their hotel in Coolangatta for 2 days.
  • Main Beach functions as both a marina and port, so there is a constant buzz of activity to explore here. Stay in the centre of it all at the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, a 5-star beachfront hotel with an excellent spa service, tennis court and outdoor pool.
  • Want to be the next Kelly Slater? Take a surf lesson at one of many surf schools lining the beachfront. Look for a hotel near major surf schools like First Wave and Get Wet Surf School, and you’ll be riding the waves in no time. Xanadu Main Beach Resort and Pacific Views Resort, for instance, are both apartment-style properties about 10min walking distance from the surf schools.

  • Set up a picnic in Hollindale Park. Set back from the beach, it has a great playground and picnic area ideal for families and friends travelling to Main Beach. Consider a stay at Contessa Condominiums, Pacific Views Resort or Xanadu Main Beach Resort and walk to the park, town centre and Main Beach.
  • Marina Mirage is a shopper’s paradise in Main Beach with more than 70 fashion boutiques and stores in an open-air centre. Shoppers should consider a stay at one of Main Beach’s best luxury hotels, the Palazzo Versace or Sheraton Grand Mirage, which are situated directly opposite the centre.
