Where colour will reign supreme this Melbourne Cup

As the Gold Coast’s premier party destination, The Island Gold Coast will host the most colourful, vibrant and entertaining Melbourne Cup event this year – and the theme is ‘where colour reigns supreme’.

The Island’s General Manager Scott Iliff said that guests will be swept up in the colour and excitement of Melbourne Cup racing – one of the most anticipated social calendar events – and the party atmosphere.

“From the race-day fashions to the immersive entertainment and premium food and drinks, Melbourne Cup at The Island will be a party unlike any other,” explains Scott.

“It will also be one of the first events in our new Glasshouse – a 400-metre square marquee-style space that can host up to 650 guests.”

The Rooftop Melbourne Cup Party

“The space has been designed to make the most of the Gold Coast’s beautiful weather with a 12-metre-long alfresco bar, huge deck and extra high ceilings – and this Melbourne Cup it’s going to be party central!”

The VIP G.H.Mumm Glasshouse Party

“Or guests can choose to party in the open-air on The Island’s Rooftop which will have an energetic and dynamic race-day vibe.”

The Island Gold Coast is close to public transport and parking, making it easy for partygoers and hotel guests.

Choose from the Rooftop Party from $99 kicking off at 12:30pm or the VIP G.H. Mumm Glasshouse Party at $169 starting at 11:30am.
