Elegant Coolum Seaside Retreat
Location
Sunshine Coast, QLD
Coolum Beach is a little slice of paradise on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, easy-going, sun-drenched and brimming with year-round summer vibes. Recently crowned Queensland’s Best Beach for 2025, Coolum is celebrated for its world-class surf break, pristine coastline and welcoming community spirit.
This beachside haven blends laid-back village charm with an exceptional selection of Coolum Beach holiday rentals, making it the perfect destination to unwind, explore and experience the best of coastal living.
Patrolled year-round, surfers are out chasing the perfect wave from the break of dawn, while swimmers and beachgoers enjoy the safe, inviting waters. There's even a dog-friendly area at the north end for four-legged holidaymakers. The boardwalk that hugs the foreshore offers uninterrupted ocean views, and the large beachside park is perfect for families, with playgrounds, picnic spots and space to relax.
Whale watching is a must from June to November — head to Point Perry Lookout for the best vantage point along the coast. And just inland, Mount Coolum National Park offers an invigorating hike rewarded by spectacular 360-degree views across the hinterland and sea.
The village itself is a treasure trove of local boutiques, relaxed cafes and stylish restaurants. When you're ready to explore further, Noosa is just 15 minutes north with its renowned dining scene and designer shopping.
Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, there's a wide range of holiday rentals in Coolum, including spacious holiday house rentals for families or groups. With direct flights to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Auckland via the nearby Sunshine Coast Airport, getting here is as easy as settling in.
