The Gold Coast’s premier rooftop hotspot has returned, and it’s an absolute triumph! Cali Beach Club has been dramatically transformed into a stunning European Summer Oasis following a massive, multi-million-dollar refurbishment. Get ready, because you won’t recognize it!
The iconic Surfside venue, unfortunately, faced a setback when Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred’s destructive winds damaged the Elkhorn Avenue location, forcing a temporary closure. However, after a six-month hiatus, the team has turned adversity into a spectacular win. What has emerged is a complete brand overhaul and a jaw-dropping transformation that promises patrons the sophisticated ‘European Summer’ experience they’ve been dreaming of, saving you the international airfare..
This transformation was far more than just a rebuild—it was a bold reimagining! Artesian Hospitality’s founder/partner, Matt Keegan, explained that they seized the opportunity presented by the cyclone’s aftermath to completely revitalize the venue and cater to a more sophisticated crowd. The new vision perfectly blends high-end style with seaside relaxation: “Think Mykonos meets the Gold Coast: a rooftop escape of palms, pools, music and movement,” Keegan described.
Cali Beach Club now beautifully embodies the quintessential European vibe, offering an ambiance defined by organic décor and barefoot luxury. This elevated space is the ultimate destination for those who want to relish long, hazy, sunshine-filled days and lazy lunches. It’s easy to see why it’s already being hailed as the best rooftop beach club in Australia!

The club’s multiple pools serve as the beating heart of the venue, surrounded by sought-after booths and cabanas. Visitors can soak up the luxury of sleek surfside cabanas, plush daybeds, or complimentary loungers. This transformation has successfully created a place where endless, blissful days roll effortlessly into unforgettable, electrifying nights.

This is the place To See and Be Seen! Sun-kissed visitors mingle, sipping ice-cold beverages, enjoying delicious coastal cuisine, and creative cocktails from the adjoining bars. Its prime location boasts some of the best, most breathtaking views of the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Guests explored the venue’s complete offerings, which include three distinct bar zones (VIP, main bar, and pool bar), a restaurant, VIP Cabanas, and even an open-air movie theatre and game/Volleyball beach.
Throughout the season, the venue promises impressive entertainment, featuring live musicians and renowned guest DJs to keep the atmosphere lively and celebratory. The stage is set for electrifying sets, live saxophone, and spectacular late-night bottle service shows by the pool. It’s a place where the signature Cali energy effortlessly turns a golden hour cocktail on a daybed into a full-blown night of revelry! Indeed, Cali is known as the ultimate spot for those sun-soaked dance sessions with a refreshing summer dip.
