For your favourite people, a weekend that feels completely like all of you.

One city. One weekend. Everyone under the same roof.

Have absolutely no idea yet? Also come in.

Real girls. The real Gold Coast. My Ultimate since 2011

A Gold Coast Girls Weekend Your Girls Will Talk About for Years

The ending you’re after: “That was so us.” “When are we doing it again?”

You know that “we should do a girls weekend” conversation you’ve had at three birthdays in a row? Or the seventeen screenshots waiting in the group chat?

Don’t worry, we get it. Every group has its own idea of the perfect weekend, and we’ve got plenty of Gold Coast adventures to choose from. Find the one that feels like your girls, and we’ll take care of the details.

See the Gold Coast packages

Gold Coast Apartments and Experiences Made for Your Group

Plenty of the Gold Coast will take a group booking. We’re very particular about what happens once you’re all there

So we sweat the in-between parts, and you get a weekend that just flows.

Gold Coast Apartments for the Whole Group

One home base, with room for all of you

  • No getting ready in four different bathrooms across town
  • No splitting up at the end of the night

There’s always one big living space for the lot of you to hang out in

Five friends cheering with drinks around a restaurant table

The table

Tables that are ready for all of you, not just the booking

  • No hovering at the door or someone trying to squeeze you in
  • No squeezing eight of you around a table set for four
  • No first drink arriving after the conversation has moved on

Not on our watch

Gold Coast Experiences for Groups

Experiences run by people who get a group of friends

  • No clapping for quiet like it’s a school excursion
  • No feeling like there’s an assessment at the end
  • No one left out because she’s never done it before

The girls are the point, not the interruption

A Gold Coast Girls Weekend That Never Falls Flat

Nothing quietly falls apart in between

  • No food too early and drinks too late
  • No standing around asking what happens next
  • No half the group drifting into their phones

It’s a no from us

Because a girls trip is more than a few good bookings sitting next to each other, or scrambling to find something to do once you’re there

A Gold Coast Girls Weekend That Flows From Start to Finish

The good bits should make each other better

We’ll love this
Friends in sunglasses clinking orange spritzes together with city buildings behind them
And this
Friends in pyjamas raising mugs under a sunny skylight the morning after
And this

But the magic is being still caught up in one moment when the next begins

The pace feels right. The girls stay with it. And you’re in the middle of it with them, instead of quietly making it all happen.

That rhythm is part of the package

“…Everything was close enough together, there was time to actually enjoy where we were and the weekend never felt like we were ticking items off an itinerary…”

Kelly, 47

  • Are we meant to leave now?
  • Has anyone seen Jess?
  • Did they say 6:00 or 6:30?

Organising the Girls Trip? Be In It, Not Running It

There is often one woman quietly running the girls trip

Counting heads. Checking the time. Remembering who’s gluten free and whose Uber is two minutes away. The group barely notices, because she’s good at it.

Which is exactly the problem. If you’re the capable one, your competence is the very thing most likely to turn you into staff on your own girls weekend.

We prefer you here

Not chasing the next booking. Not counting heads on the footpath. Not wondering whether the next place has the right name on the table.

Gold Coast Rooftops, Waterfront Dinners and Beach Days, All in One Weekend

The Gold Coast is the easy part to fall for. Getting everyone to the same stretch of beach is another story

Of course you’ve saved half of the Gold Coast. A very saveable city

You know which bits the girls would love. We make them one weekend

Group Friendly vs Girls Weekend Ready on the Gold Coast

Groups allowed. Girls understood

Groups allowed

The girls read the room before they laugh.

Girls understood

The people looking after you already know why you’re here. Nobody has to squeeze your weekend into somebody else’s format.

We shape the format, brief our venues and make room for the kind of weekend your girls actually love

Gold Coast Girls Trip Ideas

Now let’s find your version of the Gold Coast

A jet boat along the waterfront? A long lunch that becomes dinner? A private yacht with your own playlist? A massage first, a rooftop beach club later? Tarot cards and a second bottle of bubbly? Excellent.

The Gold Coast can do all of the above. The useful part is knowing which one should become your weekend

Four friends laughing with glasses of red wine on a terrace above rolling vineyards

Winery Days, Cocktail Making and Private Yacht Cruises

A winery day with door to door pick up and a cellar door where the only job is picking a favourite. A private cocktail class with a bartender all to yourselves. Or a private yacht with your own playlist and your own drinks on board.

Friends in aprons building terrariums along a long workshop table with drinks

Terrarium and Candle Making Workshops

Build a terrarium that has to survive the trip home. Pour your own signature candle while the group argues about fragrances. A keepsake each, and a very good excuse to sit around a table together.

Cheeky Girls Weekends: Topless Waiters, Life Drawing and a Male Revue

A waiter whose shirt never quite made it to the apartment. A life drawing class where the model is the only one not blushing. A male revue for the girls who like the lights low. Cheeky enough for the group chat. Never so much that the group chat regrets it.

Three friends in white spa robes pulling faces for the camera

Day Spa, Mani Pedi and Pamper Weekends

A day spa with a relaxation massage, sauna and steam and fluffy robes. Or a manicure or pedicure and a massage with your girls, grazing platters and no plans to go back out. For the girls whose idea of a big weekend is finally being the ones looked after.

Tarot, Candlelight and Rooftop Evenings

Tarot cards, a second bottle of bubbly and a tarot hostess who may or may not be right about the group. Or grazing delivered to the apartment after a rooftop beach club dinner, with nobody being the first to call it a night.

Gold Coast Girls Trip Reviews

The girls said it better

We could write an entire paragraph here about how much experience matters. Their messages are better.

Four organisers. Four very different versions of “please let me get this right”

The one whose group had been saying it for years

Going in

“4 years of ‘we really need a girls weekend’…”

Afterwards

“…and then we actually bloody did it.”

Jessica Tran31

The one with a group of completely different women

Going in

“We’re mums. We’re wives. We’re single. We’re divorced. We’re executives. We’re exhausted. We’re not exhausted. We’re all completely different.”

Afterwards

“But we’re still the girls who have known each other for 20 years. This weekend felt like making space for that part of our lives again.”

Jade C.45

The one who sent the group one option

In her words

“My friends response when I sent the option through was literally ‘yep this is us’. That was all I needed.”

Sarah28

The one with a million questions

In her words

“Thankyou for answering what must have been approximately one million questions from me… I know I was a pain. You were lovely the whole way through.”

Bianca Lombardo43

And a few of the messages that came afterwards

“Booked it. Went. Loved it. Already discussing round 2.”

“Everyone kept saying I’d nailed it. Obviously I told them it was all me. Sorry My Ultimate.”

“We weren’t even home yet and people were already throwing around dates for another trip…”

Female Founded in 2011

And we’ve been growing, evolving and slightly obsessed with getting the girls together ever since

“So much has changed over the years, but what has not changed is the essence of it all: the laughter, the sparkle, the connection, and that iconic moment to stop and celebrate the friendships that raise and define us.”

One Clear Girls Weekend Plan to Send the Group Chat

Give the group something real to react to

The group chat has a difficult job. Everybody wants the girls trip. Everybody would like it to be brilliant. This does not mean everybody wants to take part in a 146-message discussion about it.

Another idea in the chat gets more ideas. A clear option gives everyone something to answer

You shouldn’t have to become the My Ultimate brochure. Give the girls something clear. Then let them decide.

  • What are we doing?
  • What does it cost?
  • What is included?
  • When is it?
  • Where are we staying?
  • Can I bring my own pillow?

The plan

What we’re doing When Where we’re staying What it costs per person

Suddenly the girls are reacting to a plan instead of trying to invent one collectively

What running real Gold Coast girls weekends teaches you

Planning a girls trip to Gold Coast: what actually matters

Two friends cheek to cheek clinking red sparkling wine on a city rooftop at dusk

Getting around Gold Coast as a group

01

The Gold Coast is easy to love and surprisingly easy to get wrong as a group. The coast runs a long way in both directions, so the lovely collection of ideas you saved can end up miles apart, and somebody has found a bar “only ten minutes away”.

Ten minutes for one person is not ten minutes for eight. That’s why most of our Gold Coast weekends keep the good bits close to where you’re staying, so the night ends with everyone heading back to the same place.

The best parts of the Gold Coast for a girls weekend

02

The Gold Coast does girls weekends in pockets, and the best ones pick a pocket rather than trying to do them all.

The waterfront and rooftop beach clubs are the easy default: dinner, drinks and a night out close enough to walk in good shoes. Then there are the days out. A jet boat or a private yacht on the water. Or a winery day, with someone else driving. Each works best when the weekend stays inside it.

Choose the pocket that suits your girls, then let the weekend stay inside it.

When to book a Gold Coast girls weekend

03

The Gold Coast has weekends when half the country seems to be there at once: Easter, Schoolies, long weekends, school holidays and New Year’s Eve. They don’t make a girls weekend impossible. They do make apartments and good tables considerably more interesting.

If your dates land on one of those weekends, check what’s available before the whole group falls in love with one exact plan.

Where to stay for a Gold Coast girls weekend

04

Choose the base around the weekend you’re actually having. Every one of our Gold Coast packages includes your stay in a chic coastal apartment, so the base is already part of the plan rather than one more booking to chase.

However the rooms fall, there’s always one big living space where the whole group gathers. That’s where the getting ready, the grazing and the “one more before we go” happen, and it’s often the part everyone talks about afterwards.

What does a Gold Coast girls weekend cost?

05

Our Gold Coast girls weekends are priced per person and run from $399 to $599. That covers somewhere to stay together, the main experience and the moments around it, like dinner, drinks or a grazing spread, depending on the package.

Accommodation is the one part that can move with your date. So the useful number is the live price on the package you’re actually looking at, for the weekend you actually want.

When not everyone can do the whole weekend

06

This is normal. Someone has an early start on Sunday. Someone doesn’t drink. Someone will enthusiastically attend the long lunch and would rather chew her own arm off than go to a nightclub.

A group doesn’t become difficult because everybody has a life. It just means the plan needs to reflect the people actually coming, so tell us early and we’ll point you to the packages that suit the group you’ve actually got.

Gold Coast girls trip FAQs

Practical answers for the person who has reached the part of the research where she would just like the answer.

How much does a girls weekend on the Gold Coast cost?

Our Gold Coast girls weekend packages are priced per person and run from $399 to $599. Every one includes an overnight stay together, the main experience and the moments around it. Accommodation pricing can move with your dates, so chat to one of our consultants about your weekend.

What is included in a My Ultimate Girls Trip Gold Coast package?

Each Gold Coast package has its own listed inclusions. Every one includes an overnight stay in a coastal apartment, and depending on the package that sits alongside a class or experience, dining, drinks, a grazing spread or a night out. How one part runs into the next is part of the package design too. Check the individual package page for its current inclusions and price.

What are the best girls trip ideas on the Gold Coast?

The Gold Coast’s girls weekend ideas run from bottomless mimosas and beachfront dinners to terrarium and candle making workshops, a day spa, a manicure or pedicure with a massage, a jet boat ride, go karting, axe throwing and a private yacht cruise. There’s a winery day, a private cocktail class and tarot too. For a cheekier group there’s a topless waiter, life drawing or a male revue. The best one is whichever sounds most like your girls. They’re sorted by vibe in Gold Coast girls trip ideas above.

Is accommodation included in a Gold Coast girls weekend package?

Yes. Every one of our Gold Coast girls weekend packages includes an overnight stay in a coastal apartment. However the rooms fall, there’s always one big living space where the whole group gathers and gets ready together.

How many people do we need for a Gold Coast girls weekend?

Most of our Gold Coast packages start from six of you, and every package shows its own minimum. Fewer than that? Let us know how many of you there are when you get in touch. We cater for groups of many sizes and will help you find a package that suits yours.

Where on the Gold Coast do the packages run?

Our Gold Coast weekends mostly run close to your apartment: the waterfront, rooftop beach clubs and dinner, all close enough to keep the group together. Some also head out for a day on the water or at a winery. The right weekend depends on the kind of trip your girls want and how much moving around suits them.

How far ahead should we book a Gold Coast girls weekend?

Once you have a date, more notice means more choice, particularly for apartments and on the big Gold Coast weekends like Easter, Schoolies, long weekends and New Year’s Eve. A closer date is still worth asking about.

Can we have a Gold Coast girls weekend without alcohol?

Absolutely. All of our packages can work for people who don’t drink, because we can always request no alcohol with every supplier. Mixed groups are common too, so the weekend doesn’t need to be built around drinking just because some of the girls will. Tell us about the group when you get in touch.

Do we need to be into the cheeky stuff?

No. Topless waiters, life drawing and a male revue are there for the groups who want them. They’re one corner of the Gold Coast range, not a requirement. A girls weekend should reflect your girls, not somebody else’s idea of what one is supposed to contain.

Can we have a classy or low-key girls weekend on the Gold Coast?

Yes. Although “classy” and “low-key” can mean very different things. It might mean a day spa and a waterfront dinner. A private cocktail class. A winery day with door to door pick up. A long mimosa lunch. A beautiful apartment with everyone together. You don’t need to downgrade the celebration to make it low-key. You need to choose the right kind of celebration.

Is My Ultimate Girls Trip a travel agent?

No. We wouldn’t plan your girls trip. We’d be the girls trip. Every package is designed by us as one complete weekend before you ever see it: where you stay, what you do, where you eat and how one part runs into the next. My Ultimate has been bringing the girls together since 2011, and is registered and accredited by IATA under TIDS.

Can we add extras to a package?

Each package already works as a whole weekend, so you start with something designed to hold together rather than a blank sheet. Most packages also have optional extras you can add, and they’re shown on each package page.

What if our numbers change?

That’s normal, and it’s worth telling us early. Every package shows its minimum, so choose around the girls you’re sure of and let the maybes be a bonus.

Do I need to know exactly what the girls want before I talk to you?

No. Some organisers arrive with a complete brief; some know one definite yes and one hard no; others have no idea at all. Tell us what you do know. If you’d rather explore first, start the Gold Coast Wishlist and use the ideas to work out what feels most like your girls.

What is the difference between a My Ultimate Girls Trip package and booking it all myself?

You can absolutely book an apartment, an activity and a restaurant yourself. Those are the visible pieces. A My Ultimate Girls Trip package is designed as one weekend: where you stay, what you do, where you eat and how one part runs into the next are part of the product rather than a collection of separate bookings. As Kelly, 47, put it afterwards: “It felt easy, but clearly quite a lot of thought goes into making something feel easy.”

Tell Us About Your Girls

Let’s get the girls weekend started!

What happens when you send it

Our team will look at all of the deets, find the packages that match, check availability and come back to you with all of the nitty gritty details: pics, menus, the $ and c, timings, what’s included and the little touches that make it yours.

  1. A real person gets in touch

    An actual human from our team, not a bot! As you’d expect, that’s why we ask for your mobile number, so we can get back to you about the girls trip you have asked us about.

  2. We talk about your girls

    When looking at ideas and the packages we can chat through any deets needed to narrow them down: what the girls would love, what they’d hate, the mix of people coming and the date you have in mind. If something you liked won’t work together, we’ll tell you and we will let you know why and how to achieve the vibes you want!

  3. Your package, ready to share

    We’ll walk you through the package we recommend, with all of the deets included. That way you get to share it with the group so they see what they would be saying yes to before you decide to book anything. Tweaks and questions from there are normal, subject to availability, because packages do book out on popular weekends. Just a heads up! No point getting the girls excited about a weekend that is already booked out.

A few quick details:

First name is fine.
Your mobile is all we need.
We’ll get in touch about your girls trip on the number you give us.
Not locked yet? Rough is fine.
‘About 15-ish’ is a completely legitimate answer.
Heading somewhere other than the Gold Coast? Tell us here

WHO ARE THE GIRLS?

Tick as many as apply.

IS ANY OF IT A SURPRISE FOR SOMEONE?

That didn’t send. Give it one more go.

Hmm, we couldn’t confirm that one went through. Give it one more go.

We’ll look at what fits, then come back with full package details and the nitty gritty, ready for you to pop into the group chat.
