The southern Gold Coast of Australia has gained a striking new landmark with the official opening of Mondrian Gold Coast. Positioned along the pristine shores of Burleigh Heads, this 208-room property marks the Mondrian brand’s Australian debut, introducing a fresh perspective on beachside accommodation that seamlessly blends international sophistication with local coastal charm.
Designed by architects Fraser & Partners, the Mondrian Gold Coast rises elegantly between the native pines and pandanus trees of Burleigh’s beachfront esplanade. The property’s thoughtful integration into the natural landscape reflects a design philosophy that respects the region’s relaxed coastal rhythm whilst delivering contemporary luxury. With rooms averaging twice the size of the national standard, guests are treated to generous living spaces complemented by panoramic vistas across the Pacific Ocean, Burleigh Headland, and the verdant hinterland beyond.
Spacious accommodation with ocean panoramas
The accommodation offering at this distinctive Mondrian Gold Coast caters to diverse travel preferences, from intimate getaways to extended family retreats. The property features 132 Studios, 63 Suites, and 10 expansive two- and three-bedroom homes, all meticulously designed by California-based Studio Carter. For those seeking ultimate privacy, two exclusive beach houses offer plunge pools and private access, with the flexibility to combine into a five-bedroom residence for larger groups.
Crowning the 24th floor, the spectacular sky house represents the pinnacle of beachfront luxury. This remarkable space features a chef’s kitchen, private bar, and five-metre-high windows that frame the coastline in dramatic fashion. The sky house sets a new benchmark for premium accommodation on the Gold Coast, offering guests an unparalleled vantage point from which to appreciate the region’s natural beauty.

Ground-floor restaurant LiTO brings the convivial spirit of Italian summers to Burleigh’s laid-back lifestyle. Under the direction of Italian-born Head Chef Andrea Morigi, formerly of Merivale’s Uccello, the all-day dining venue serves vibrant, produce-driven cuisine from morning espresso through to evening aperitivo. The menu celebrates sharing and conversation with offerings including wood-fired breads, lobster bucatini, rotisserie chicken, and tableside tiramisu.
The restaurant’s design by Alexander &CO perfectly captures the Mediterranean character whilst embracing Australian ease. Outdoor tables invite guests to dine alfresco whilst coastal beats and carefully curated interiors create an atmosphere that feels both sophisticated and relaxed.
Haven rooftop experience elevates coastal dining
The third-floor Haven restaurant and bar captures the essence of Burleigh’s sun-kissed days and vibrant after-dark energy. Executive chef Aaron Teece, whose impressive background includes EST., Felix, Manly Pavilion, and Studio Neon, has curated a refined yet approachable menu that celebrates local provenance and seasonal produce.
Haven offers multiple experiences within a single venue, from leisurely lunches in the dining room to poolside relaxation in private cabanas and sunset cocktails with ocean views. The dedicated agave menu, premium wine selection, and Champagne offerings are enhanced by a curated soundtrack and live performances from emerging and established artists, creating an atmosphere that perfectly complements the Mondrian Gold Coast’s commitment to cultural programming.
