Sanctuary Cove is once again transforming into a Christmas wonderland – the must-visit location on the Gold Coast this holiday season! Eat, drink, shop and spread the magic cheer with Sanctuary Cove’s celebratory events and activities.

All December long there will be opportunities throughout Sanctuary Cove to capture the picture-perfect opportunity. Strike a pose aside a Christmas Tree or the gigantic Christmas present, snap a selfie in Santa’s sleigh, or capture the magic moment with Santa Claus himself – dress-ups welcome, and so are your furry friends!

The fun doesn’t stop there! The dining, shopping, and joy-filled precinct set on a backdrop of blue skies, waterfronts and glorious white yachts promises to deliver their inaugural Christmas that families have grown to love.
