Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove
Hope Island, Queensland, Australia · IHG Destined · 2026 benefits

Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove is part of Virtuoso’s exclusive Regional Program for Australia/New Zealand. InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort reflects the grand, graceful architecture of a Queensland estate. Located a short distance from the tourist mecca, the hotel is near Gold Coast theme parks, just a 10-minute drive away. Our resort is tucked within the beautiful surrounds of Sanctuary Cove, ideal for a hotel beach wedding in Australia. This Gold Coast accommodation boasts a marina, acclaimed golf courses, one-acre lagoon beach pool and lush garden landscapes.
Nestled on the northern Gold Coast, Intercontinental Sanctuary Cove invites you to unplug from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Unwind by the one-acre saltwater Lagoon Beach Pool, tee off at one of the three championship golf courses, and indulge in multi-course degustation menus paired with local wines. Then retreat to your newly-refurbished room or suite (there are 251 total) and soak in the tropical garden or tranquil water views from your private balcony.
