Hope Island Suburb Profile  

A waterside beauty with year-round holiday vibes, Hope Island is a quiet achiever along Queensland's much-loved Gold Coast. Undeniably affluent, this easy-going tropical-style destination is a standout, from meandering waterways and sprawling golf courses to harbourfront dining and resort-style shopping. With so much on offer, this idyllic suburb gives you little reason to leave. 

Jump to homes

Bounded by water on all sides, Hope Island is perfectly positioned along the Coomera River and moments away from the Gold Coast’s star attractions. From the break of dawn, this dreamy neighbourhood embraces those feel-good summer vibes, with seafaring adventures always high on the agenda.

Living in Hope Island offers a relaxed yet active lifestyle, where the water is never far from sight. Part of what makes this waterside locale so appealing is its selection of upscale gated communities. Hope Island Resort features an open-air shopping centre, harbourfront dining, deep water mooring facilities, and luxury housing, while Sanctuary Island Resort takes it up a notch.

A destination within itself, Sanctuary Island boasts a shopping mall, entertainment facilities, luxury homes, and waterfront apartments. Linking the two gated communities is a buggy path – making golf buggies a popular mode of transport, that and the sailboats, which come in all shapes and sizes. With multiple marinas and an abundance of water, sailing and fishing is a way of life for locals. Then there are the golf courses, the sprawling parks, and ample tennis facilities peppered throughout.

Living in Hope Island means having beautiful homes and easy access to major hubs of the Gold Coast and Brisbane CBD, and it’s easy to see why Hope Island and Sanctuary Cove stand out along Queensland’s coastline.
