The Villas- Bilinga Beach Abodes
Bilinga, Southern Gold Coast

Perched in prime location only footsteps away from the Gold Coast's famous sandy beaches, The Villas are the latest boutique accommodation to hit our sandy shores. Located in Bilinga on the Southern Gold Coast, The Villas offer an aesthetically pleasing cosy stay for families, a group of friends and couples with the added benefit of being just a 5-minute walk to the Gold Coast airport. Consisting of two separate villas with three bedrooms and a plunge pool each, the boutique property is the perfect resting spot after long lazy days by the beach with a book in hand or building sandcastles with little ones. Framed by holiday-inducing palm trees, the exterior presents as a dreamy white beach house, while the interiors introduce playful tones of blush, pearl white and soft olive. A rendered spiral staircase acts as the show-stopping masterpiece in the upstairs villa, leading to the bedroom loft; an indulgent space with natural light and a bird's eye view of the living area below. Brought to life by husband-and-wife duo, Aaron and Sarah Waters, two Gold Coast locals with an equally stunning Bilinga residence, which is often the backdrop for brand photoshoots, The Villas are a perfect base for a Southern Gold Coast escape and close by to some of the Gold Coast's best attractions including Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Burleigh's vibrant dining scene, breweries and water activities like swimming with turtles, catching a wave, foiling and stand up paddle boarding.
