As the Gold Coast’s premier party destination, The Island Gold Coast will host the most colourful, vibrant and entertaining Melbourne Cup event this year – and the theme is ‘where colour reigns supreme’.

The Island’s General Manager Scott Iliff said that guests will be swept up in the colour and excitement of Melbourne Cup racing – one of the most anticipated social calendar events – and the party atmosphere.

“From the race-day fashions to the immersive entertainment and premium food and drinks, Melbourne Cup at The Island will be a party unlike any other,” explains Scott.

“It will also be one of the first events in our new Glasshouse – a 400-metre square marquee-style space that can host up to 650 guests.”

The Rooftop Melbourne Cup Party

“The space has been designed to make the most of the Gold Coast’s beautiful weather with a 12-metre-long alfresco bar, huge deck and extra high ceilings – and this Melbourne Cup it’s going to be party central!”

The VIP G.H.Mumm Glasshouse Party

“Or guests can choose to party in the open-air on The Island’s Rooftop which will have an energetic and dynamic race-day vibe.”

The Island Gold Coast is close to public transport and parking, making it easy for partygoers and hotel guests.

Choose from the Rooftop Party from $99 kicking off at 12:30pm or the VIP G.H. Mumm Glasshouse Party at $169 starting at 11:30am.
