Tourist in my Town: Family Staycation at the Langham

One of only two Gold Coast resorts located on the beach itself, the Langham is everything you would expect from a newly-opened luxury hotel. 

Its position on the border of Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise means it is ideally located for a staycation, no matter how you plan to spend your time. As it turns out, perhaps the perfect family staycation at the Langham involves not venturing further than the outdoor pool’s swim-up bar. 

Offering a range of well-thought-out accommodation options, the Langham is great for families. It boasts a kids’ club where you can take your littlies for a play, and during school holidays you can drop them off with the kids’ club staff for the holiday program and enjoy some much-needed adult time (kids under four must be supervised by an adult). From movie nights to arts and crafts, the kids will have a blast. 

As well as the kids’ club, the Langham offers an indoor pool and outdoor pool heated to 28 degrees year-round. The outdoor pool even has its own sandy beach perfect for little ones too small for the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean. The sun hits the pool in the mornings and is shady in the afternoons, so depending on the season, you might want to time your swim accordingly. 

The main restaurant at the Langham is Akoya, which offers its Signature Seafood Buffet on Friday and Saturday evenings. The buffet is great for kids with lots to choose from and you can order kid-friendly food like hot chips and plain pasta if they aren’t feeling adventurous. Kids 0-4 eat free at the Seafood Buffet and kids 5-12 are half price. They also have highchairs and plastic water glasses to make it extra family friendly. Akoya offers a buffet breakfast daily as well as an à la carte lunch and weekday dinner. If you are staycationing to celebrate a special occasion, you can also book into Palm Court for the Langham High Tea experience. 

The staff at the Langham are exceptionally friendly, very knowledgeable and well practiced, considering the hotel has only been open a year. Which makes your family holiday even easier. You can rock up at the front door, offload your luggage and your car to the waiting valet and breeze through check in without lugging bags and children all the way from the car park. Unpack and get ready to relax into the most luxurious family staycation on the coast.
