The Island Gold Coast’s New Year’s Eve party will be like no other. Partying across three levels and six exclusive spaces, our guests will be spoilt for choice of how to ring in 2020.

Can you see it? Delicious food, innovative drink packages, spectacular live entertainment and immersive visual displays!

We’ll be meeting, gathering and celebrating with one of the hottest parties on the Gold Coast – get your friends together, get dressed to thrill, get in a nanna nap so you’re ready – we will be partying until the sun comes up on a new year and a new decade.  We have two very special experiences this New Year.

THE COCKTAIL EXPERIENCE – 3 EXCLUSIVE BARS

Guests will party under the stars as well as having full access to not one, not two, but three exclusive bars – The Island Rooftop, Goldie’s and the all new Island Pool Deck. But there’s more – a raft of live bands and DJs, including ‘Band 42 by the Hanlon Brothers’, immersive pop-up displays, roaming performers and very special guests.

THE VIP EXPERIENCE – THE ISLAND PENTHOUSE

This exclusive access floor includes the super-lush Ocean View and Mountain View Rooms, plus the super-luxe open-air Penthouse Terrace Bar! You will be dazzled with a 360 degree birds-eye view of the Surfers Paradise CBD, coastline and hinterland – not forgetting the traditional fireworks to ring in the new year.

“The Island Gold Coast New Year’s Eve party is going to be the place to celebrate the new year and the new year decade. We have worked really hard to ensure that it ticks all the boxes – food, drinks, location and, of course, entertainment. This event will sell out so I’d implore people to book now so they don’t miss out – no one should be disappointed on New Year’s Eve.”

The party commences at 8pm, doors open at 7pm. Don’t forget you can also book and stay with us in one of our 98 recently renovated boutique hotel suites. Bring your sunnies – you will see the first sunrise of the new year since we’re partying until 5am!
