If you’re going to do Kingscliff properly, Peppers Salt Resort and Spa is the place to do it. Sitting in the heart of Salt Village on Bells Boulevard, it’s the kind of resort that makes staying in feel as good as going out.
The pools are the centrepiece and they earn their reputation. Resort and lagoon style, they’re the sort you pull up a sun lounge beside and lose most of a Saturday. Salt Beach is 100 metres away when you’re ready for the real thing, and a bike path runs from the door if you’d rather explore than sit still.
The Spa at Salt handles the rest. Treatments, a steam room, spa bath and a Tranquility Lounge that the resort itself describes as guaranteed to have you floating out the door. Whether you believe the marketing or not, it’s a solid option for anyone who came to Kingscliff specifically to do nothing at pace.
Rooms range from hotel rooms through to one, two and three bedroom apartments and spa suites, so it works equally well for couples, families or a group who want their own space. Season Restaurant serves breakfast daily and dinner through the week, with a menu built around seasonal produce from local growers. Lunch is taken poolside or in the al fresco lounge.
It’s 15 minutes from Gold Coast Airport and 30 minutes to Byron Bay, which makes it a genuinely easy base for a long weekend. Check in, drop the bags and figure out the rest from the pool.
