Laid-back Sunshine Coast vibes

One of the Sunshine Coast’s most laid-back and relaxed beachside locales and just 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Noosa’s Hastings Street, Coolum offers pristine white-sand beaches, spectacular views across the coastline and one of the region’s best beachside boardwalks.

Especially popular with families, Coolum is home to several beautiful bays to explore and a year-round patrolled surf beach providing excellent swimming, surfing and stand-up paddleboarding. Like Noosa to the north and Caloundra to the south, Coolum Beach accommodation offers something for all holidaymakers, with a comprehensive selection of hotels and resorts, along with a popular caravan park right on Coolum Beach. 

Coolum Beach Hotels and Resorts 

A wide selection of hotels and resorts stretch right along Coolum Beach, with everything from boutique hotels to fully self-contained resort-style holiday apartments on offer, ensuring everyone can find the perfect digs for their Coolum holiday. Those travelling with their fur babies will find the pet-friendly Coolum Boutique Treehouse the perfect Coolum accommodation option — a luxurious chalet with stunning sea views from every aspect of the house. Families looking for quiet, family-friendly accommodation just a few minutes’ walk from the patrolled surf beach will love Coolum Beach Getaway Resort with its one, two and three-bedroom fully self-contained units and heated swimming pool and spa that makes it perfect for family getaways all year-round.
