Hop Into Luxury: Easter at JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa

Ah, Easter. The season of chocolate-covered chaos, backyard egg hunts that end in toddler tantrums, and that one rogue plastic egg you find under the lounge three months later. Sound familiar?

Now imagine this instead: sparkling pools, fresh seafood feasts, fizzing mimosas, and an Easter egg hunt so well-organised you don’t even have to supervise. That’s exactly what’s on offer at JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa—where luxury meets family fun, and Easter turns into the kind of getaway you actually enjoy.

A Five-Star Escape Without Leaving the Country

Tucked in the heart of Surfers Paradise, JW Marriott Gold Coast delivers big on luxury and even bigger on family-friendly experiences. This is not just a resort—it’s a memory-making machine with poolside cocktails, sushi-making workshops, and an Easter line-up that puts your neighbourhood bunny hop to shame.

Perfect for parents who want the joy of Easter without the prep work (or the clean-up), this resort is the ultimate long weekend escape for families who like a little indulgence with their egg hunts.

Daily Delights: From Fish Feeding to Family Fun

First things first—JW Marriott is not just about plush pillows and buffet breakfasts (although they’re definitely top-tier). It’s also packed with interactive Family by JW experiences that will keep the little ones entertained and the parents blissfully off-duty.

🐠 Saltwater Lagoon Fish Feeding: Every day, kids can feed the tropical fish in the resort’s lagoon pool. It’s equal parts mesmerising and educational—plus, it’s a great excuse to sneak in your second coffee uninterrupted.

🍣 Mini Sushi Making & Pizza Sessions: JW’s kids’ cooking classes aren’t just cute—they’re confidence-building, creative, and come with the bonus of edible masterpieces. Less screen time, more sushi chef realness.

🎨 JW Moments for the Scrapbook: From treasure hunts to hands-on crafts, these curated activities create bite-sized, feel-good memories (and plenty of adorable photo ops).

The Main Event: Easter Dining at Citrique

Now let’s talk about the real hero of the holiday: food.

Forget sad sandwiches or squashed buns from the car esky—Citrique Restaurant brings the feast to Easter with its famous Seafood & Grill Buffet. Expect an abundance of sustainably sourced seafood (hello, prawns and oysters), premium grilled meats, and a live kitchen buzzing with energy.

Want to take things next-level? Add a to your Sunday lunch and live your very best life. Trust us, it’s the kind of meal where even the kids stop mid-sentence to say, “Wow.”

The Annual Easter Egg Hunt: Now THIS is How You Do It

JW Marriott’s famous Easter Egg Hunt is not your average chocolate dash. It’s a beloved annual tradition that brings big joy to little ones (and gives parents a very welcome 30 minutes of downtime).

Held in the resort’s beautifully landscaped gardens, kids are invited to search for hidden treasures with their siblings and new resort friends while creating their own JW Moments.
