An Architectural Masterpiece Awaits at the Monaco

WORDS: PHOTOGRAPHY

If you’re seeking an opulent, oceanside retreat, then The Monaco could be just what you are looking for. Located in the idyllic seaside suburb of Main Beach on the Gold Coast, The Monaco is an exclusive, limited collection of palatial full-floor and half-floor luxury sky villas and a double-storey penthouse.

This north-facing 24-level residential tower offers the most discerning of buyers a momentous living experience just minutes from the award-winning Southport Yacht Club, Australia’s largest superyacht berthing facility, and all that the Gold Coast has to offer.

Designed by the award-winning Rothelowman Architects, The Monaco is impeccably crafted to capture the surrounding, unimpeded 360-degree views and to convey an extravagant sense of drama effortlessly. Created to impress, The Monaco is designed for a life less ordinary and reserved for the few.

YOUR LIFE IN THE SKY

Life in the lap of luxury begins upon arrival at The Monaco when your car elevator transports you to your apartment and adjoining Sky Garage, the first of its kind in the Southern hemisphere. It’s innovation that delivers practicality and a rare privilege only a few apartment owners in the world can enjoy.

This unique feature provides unparalleled convenience and privacy, and enables your most prized possession to be on display as a celebrated work of art. Equipped with number plate technology, the Sky Garage offers both exceptional personal and vehicle security.

Specified with luxe showroom flooring and first-class safety features, the Sky Garage is prominently visible from the kitchen and living spaces. The naturally-muted tones of the finishes and carefully placed custom lighting are deliberately restrained to keep the focus and attention where they belong – on your much-loved pride and joy.

Located adjacent to the Sky Garage and overlooking the beach to the East is a convenient multi-purpose space that is fully customisable to accommodate your passion or interest. Ideal for a workshop, office, or if you have an artistic flair, it could be the perfect studio. Whatever your passion, this is the perfect place to pursue it with joy.

A LOCATION TO INDULGE

Located within one of the Gold Coast’s most desired postcodes, The Monaco is situated at the Northern tip of the Gold Coast in the affluent residential suburb of Main Beach. Loved by leisure-seekers, this prime position is within walking distance of the region’s most iconic beaches, desired dining destinations, and celebrated recreational venues. Here you are just minutes from The Broadwater, The Spit, and Main Beach itself, all waiting to be explored and enjoyed.

Boat enthusiasts will rejoice in the proximity to the Southport Yacht Club which is decked out with a 300-berth marina and caters for superyachts up to 74 metres. With more than 57 kilometres of coastline, the safety of The Broadwater and 260 kilometres of navigatable waterways on your doorstep, The Monaco’s pristine location is a boat lover’s dream.

Meet with neighbours and friends at your new local, the stylish Tedder Avenue, to browse its collection of modern cafes, established restaurants and bars, and coveted boutiques. Also close by is the famous Marina Mirage, home to an array of designer labels and exclusive waterfront dining experiences. This precinct is also home to two of the Gold Coast’s most luxurious hotels, the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, and the decadent Palazzo Versace.

JUST YOU AND THAT VIEW

At The Monaco, uninterrupted 360-degree views are yours to savour. They are encompassing the immense blue of the Pacific Ocean, Main Beach, The Broadwater, The Spit, the bobbing boats at The Southport Yacht Club, to the glimmering lights of the city towards Surfers Paradise and beyond, the majestic green hills of the Gold Coast hinterland.

From sunrise to sunset, these unmatched panoramic views are yours to enjoy from the internal living spaces or from the covered balconies and terraces where you can take in the fresh sea breezes that encompass your home.

A RETREAT TO REJUVENATE

For next-level luxury, you can always retreat to the opulent master bedroom suite. Unapologetically taking up a quarter of the apartment’s floorplan, this indulgent space instils a sense of calm while capitalising on the natural beauty of the surrounding seascape.

A series of wrapping layers optimises the practical use of the robes and vanities. The dressing areas are complete with a marble makeup counter and double full-height mirrors, and the statement walk-in wardrobe is a dream for fashion lovers. With two vast sides and floor-to-ceiling tinted glass cabinets, this robe has plentiful space and a glamourous atmosphere.

The elevated experience continues in the adjoining master ensuite, a semi-outdoor space that makes you feel like you are bathing on the edge of the ocean. The open-plan design allows for abundant natural light. At the same time, the opulent curves of the elegant marble vanity and the stone, free-standing bath give the bathroom a luxurious and soft appeal. The curved, fluted glass shower is a stunning and welcome inclusion, and together with superior fittings throughout, this space becomes the definition of relaxation and comfort.

LEISURE AT NEW HEIGHTS

Relaxation is high on the priority list at The Monaco and is why you will find everything you need to recharge within reach. Thoughtfully determined with luxurious amenities, consider your home your place to unwind in your private oasis.

 

For some vitamin D therapy, relax on the pool deck where coastal-themed day beds and lush rainforest foliage border a 24-metre heated lap pool. Whether it be for a post-beach dip, a relaxing night swim or even a cocktail or two with a background soundtrack provided by the soothing sounds of the ocean, this is a space to enjoy. The adjoining BBQ and dining area with resort-style seating and feature lighting is the perfect place to share with company.

Take your rejuvenation a step further at the onsite Wellness Studio that’s so much more than a standard gymnasium. This serene and light-filled space boasts innovative exercise equipment, including Pilates reformer beds, the latest fitness machines and an inverted yoga bench. If complete relaxation is your preference, enjoy your therapeutic services in the privacy of the onsite steam room or call in your favourite wellness specialist in the treatment room.

The Monaco is also home to some not-so-common games and activities, specially installed to enhance the living experience of its residents. Here you will find a virtual golf room that allows golf fans to play their favourite game no matter what the weather. Pet lovers are also indulged with a pet grooming room to ensure four-legged friends can be pampered without having to leave the building.
