That's a Wrap
From sipping frappes at viral TikTok cafés to dining at award-winning restaurants, from paddling in turquoise creeks to unwinding in laid-back moments, the Gold Coast proves one thing: you’ll never get bored here. It’s a destination where every day feels fresh, fun, and unforgettable — whether you’re chasing trends, chasing sunsets, or just chasing a little downtime.
Located in Nobby Beach, Juju Rooftop delivers a laid-back yet refined vibe where every bite feels like a celebration. Their Sundown Social runs every Sunday from 4pm — the perfect way to toast the weekend with cocktails and skyline views. Hot tip: book ahead to secure a prime spot for sunset.
Paint & Sip – Miami
For those (like us) who love a different kind of night out, the Paint and Sip evenings at The Sweet Fine Artist Studio in Miami are definitely one for the bucket list. Picture this: a paintbrush in one hand, a wine glass in the other, and plenty of laughs in between. Spots are limited, so make sure you reserve your session in advance.
