Coming Soon: JW Marriott Gold Coast's New 2500-Square-Metre Spa Boasts Hinterland Views and Wine Service

If you're the kind of traveller who books their hotels based on their spa facilities, then we foresee a stay at JW Marriott Gold Coast in your future. The Surfers Paradise spot is about to become home to Spa by JW, where soaking, steaming, sipping and staring at scenic views will all be on the menu in the relaxing venue's hefty 2500-square-metre wellness space.

The new spa joins the hotel as part of its $35-million transformation, and will open its doors on Wednesday, July 12. Inside, everyone chasing their bliss can expect the sounds of the ocean, a vantage over the hinterland, both tea and wine service, and a sizeable list of treatment options and spa packages. Fancy a massage solely designed to help you sleep? An aromatherapy facial? Hopping in the bath with your date or best mate? They're all on offer.

Upon arrival, guests will first be greeted at Spa by JW's curator's desk, then hang out in a living room-style lounge setup before diving in. From there, six different rooms will unleash the venue's treatments, including one just for couples that comes with its own private lounge, ensuite stone bath and twin showers. Also onsite: saunas, steam experience showers, pods for relaxing and an outdoor area dedicated to exactly that as well.

For those making a group hang out of their spa experience, Spa by JW features a space for private groups, too, that's intimate but still in view of the wider lounge.

And, if you're keen to eat and drink while you're there, the tea service is all about local inspiration, the food menu is curated by the hotel's Executive Chef Paul Smart and vino is an option.

This is the first Spa by JW in the Australia and New Zealand region, with Australian design studio DBI taking care of its look. As the building's original architects and interior designers, it has a history with the site, and has gone with a coastal Queensland vibe for the wellness space. Think: curves aplenty, translucent walls, natural materials and textures, and neutral hues, plus lighting to suit the mood.

"As we've watched the world re-open from the challenges of the past few years, it is an exciting time for us at JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa to finally reveal this long-awaited chapter of our renovation and welcome back both locals, domestic and international travellers to relax, unwind and rejuvenate at Spa by JW," said Ravinder Dhesi, the hotel's General Manager.

Spa by JW opens at JW Marriott Gold Coast, 158 Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise on Wednesday, July 12 — operating 9am–6pm Monday–Saturday and 10am–5pm on Sundays.
