The ultra-luxurious full-floor penthouse at Royale Gold Coast has been sold for $19,180,053, highlighting continued demand for premium beachfront property and underscoring Royale Gold Coast’s status as the pinnacle of absolute beachfront living on the Gold Coast.

Located on Level 35 of the six-star Royale Gold Coast development on the exclusive Northcliffe Terrace beachfront strip in Surfers Paradise, the palatial 706sqm penthouse drew strong interest from multiple ultra-luxury apartment buyers, with the successful purchaser being a discerning Brisbane-based buyer who had been actively searching for the perfect beachfront residence for some time.

Royale Gold Coast apartment sales are managed by Southeast Queensland’s luxury apartment market specialist TOTAL Property Group, Managing Director Adrian Parsons said the buyer was instantly drawn to the high-end luxury penthouse for its architectural distinction, interior elegance and unparalleled beachfront location.

“The purchaser is a Brisbane-based professional who had been quietly watching the market for the right opportunity. As soon as they saw the Royale Gold Coast penthouse, they knew it was something truly unique,” Mr Parsons said.

“They were particularly impressed with the architectural design by DKO and the interiors by Mim Design, which deliver an incredibly refined, timeless luxury that stands out even in a competitive high-end market. The unique elliptical design of the building and the floor-to-ceiling glass bring in spectacular 360-degree views and natural light that completely transform the living experience.”

Mr Parsons said the spacious and functional penthouse floor plan was a major drawcard for the buyer, who was looking for a luxury coastal residence that offered both sophistication and practicality.

“They appreciate the thoughtful layout and seamless flow of the floor plan, from the grand entry to the formal entertaining zones, palatial private master retreat and integrated indoor-outdoor areas, offering a balance of private spaces and areas for entertaining, which really appealed to them.

“Living spaces are exceptionally well laid out, and the design strikes the perfect balance between privacy and openness. The seamless transition to the oversized 71sqm balcony, complete with built-in barbecue, alfresco dining and lounge areas, was a big plus for the buyer.

‘In addition to the architectural quality and floor plan, the world-class amenities on offer at Royale Gold Coast were a key factor in the decision to purchase. The building’s six-star facilities are setting a new standard in beachfront apartment living on the Gold Coast.

“One of the standout features for the buyer was the inclusion of two lagoon-style beachfront swimming pools. This is incredibly rare to have two swimming pools providing the option to enjoy the sun all day long.

“They also loved the convenience of having a wellness amenities on-site, with spa, steam room, cold plunge pool, sauna and yoga terrace, as well as Club Royale – a private residents’ facility with a Cuccina kitchen, executive lounge and wine cellar, all overlooking the ocean. It’s like having a six-star resort at your front door every day.

Mr Parsons said the Royale’s elite location on Northcliffe Terrace was also a significant factor in the sale.

“There are only a handful of buildings that sit directly on absolute beachfront along the prestigious Northcliffe Terrace as this is on its way to becoming one of the most elite strips of real estate in Australia.

“This is a once-in-a-generation development that is attracting a high level of interest from both interstate and local buyers seeking premium beachfront living,” Mr Parsons said.

Among the standout features of the Royale Gold Coast penthouse is the gourmet kitchen, appointed with premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances and finished with elegant Italian natural stone. It also includes a generous butler’s pantry and an oversized laundry. A striking glass wine cellar and full-sized bar seamlessly connect to the formal dining area, which has been designed to comfortably accommodate 14 guests.

Occupying the entire eastern wing, the master suite is a private retreat offering sweeping ocean views from every angle.
