Mondrian Gold Coast is a vibrant lifestyle precinct with two levels of immersive restaurants, bars, pool club and dynamic programming at the heart of the destination.

LITO: Savour coastal Italian cuisine at our all-day dining restaurant.  Whether it’s a post-surf flat white or a classic aperitif as the sun sets, LITO promises a culinary journey from morning to afternoon and into the evening that’s refreshing and elevated simplicity.

Haven: Haven is a lively restaurant and pool club focused on fresh surf-to-plate seafood, golden cocktail hours, true celebrations and intimate poolside lounging. Haven connects the modern day refined and retro pool club with a decidedly athletic and fashion aesthetic — all designed to offer a respite and recharge to its idyllic coastline, perfectly curated for a sun-drenched day spent grazing and lounging.

Our two bars and restaurants will offer the best of Burleigh’s dining scene.  

We’re seeking creatives, innovators and disruptors who challenge the status quo and ready to be agents of change as we usher in one of the most exciting, progressive and forward-thinking brands set to make Burleigh its home.
