The JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa is THE destination for love
We love love here at Inside Gold Coast and our excitement levels are peaking for Cupid to launch his heart-tipped arrows on Tuesday February 14th. So how shall you woo that special someone because yeah, you’ve done chocolates and cute cringey teddies to death, and need fresh inspo to knock his/her socks off this year. Thankfully, JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa (aka the destination for romance), has come to the party with not one but three fail-safe ways to spoil your Valentine.
The ultimate suite indulgence
We mean sweet…and suite!! Nothing says love like a getaway to a luxurious five-star resort and absolutely nobody will argue with that. Particularly when your stay includes breakfast for two adults in the award-winning Citrique Restaurant and that’s some epic brownie points right there. But wait, there’s more because the romantics at JW Marriott are adding a cheese platter with locally sourced delights and honestly, cheese deserves its own love language. They’re also throwing in a bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne – another enduring love of ours – and valet parking too for those extra VIP feels. Reservations can be made here. Enter booking code HDK under Special Rates / Corporate and do it fast!
A five-course degustation at Citrique
If you can’t escape for a full night (parents with young children, we feel you), never fear because the award-winning Citrique Restaurant is putting on a decadent five-course degustation. Curated by Executive Chef Paul Smart and his team of culinary gurus, it’s textbook gastronomic perfection. Let’s set the scene; upon arrival, you and your love will be greeted with a glass of Moët & Chandon Champagne. Then it’s time to indulge your taste buds with a line-up of mouth-watering dishes flexing Citrique’s famous seafood and paddock to plate prowess. We’re talking Scallop and Yuzu Pearls, King George Whiting and Avruga Caviar, Lobster Fricassee, and Roasted Duck Breast with Truffle Farro. And it just wouldn’t be a true Valentine’s without dessert, in this instance the perfectly balanced and blissful Chocolate Rose and Raspberry Sorbet. Available Tuesday 14th February for $129 per guest, you can go all out with an extra $49 per guest for exclusive wine pairing. Reservations are essential (duh, it’s Citrique!) via Gold Coast Tickets.
Valentine’s Day high tea
If you’d rather celebrate by day, why not treat your special someone to a memorable morning or afternoon inspired by a famous resort tradition. We’re talking about a Chapter & Verse Valentine’s Day high tea and if you haven’t already experienced this life-changing (we’re not exaggerating) ritual then cease the moment! Once again, Executive Chef Paul Smart and his posse of food artistes will redefine the high tea concept as you know it. Accompanied by a glass of Moët & Chandon bubbles on arrival, treat your soul mate to Raspberry Macaroons, Chocolate and Salted Caramel Slice, Heart Chocolate Bon Bons, Strawberry and Rose Tart, White Chocolate and Raspberry Mousse, Ginger White Chocolate Friands, Red Velvet Slice, Strawberry and Cream Scones, Smoked Salmon and Caviar Rose, Beetroot and Cream Cheese Sandwich, Salami Olive and Tomato Roll, Turkey Brie Cheese and Cranberry, and last (but definitely not least), Prawn Roll with Lemon Aioli. Now that’s passion on a plate! Valentine’s Day high tea is available exclusively on Tuesday 14th February from 11am until 1pm, or 2pm until 4pm. Set to be a sell-out, the $89 per guest affair must be pre-booked so jump on to Gold Coast Tickets pronto.
Three cupid-endorsed Valentine’s options, one iconic Gold Coast destination. Let The JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa do the heavy lifting for you this Valentine’s Day and make it one to remember.
