Why prestige buyers are headed to North Burleigh’s new six-star beachfront homes

As the Gold Coast keeps evolving, demand for luxurious homes is rising, but with a new take on what luxury means.

Today’s prestige buyers still want the perks of stunning views and beach access.

But luxury is now also about having plenty of space to relax with family and friends while feeling genuinely at home.

This means that homes with six-star world-class lifestyle amenities are in their sights.

Burly Residences, a brand-new six-star development under construction on The Esplanade at North Burleigh, is capturing the imagination of prestige buyers looking for refined coastal living.

“We have a lot of buyers on the Gold Coast who buy as a principal place of residence and we also have holiday-home buyers,” says Adrian Parsons, Managing Director, TOTAL Property Group.

“What we’re finding is that buyers are extremely discerning, with a clear checklist of features they want in an apartment.

Burly Residences has captured the attention of entrepreneurs and executive-level professionals seeking an unparalleled lifestyle, with 80% of its apartments sold to high-net-worth apartment buyers aged between 40 and 60.

“They come to us with a very specific set of requirements, size, location, finishes, amenity and Burly Residences ticks those boxes,” Mr Parsons explains.

“Burly Residences is just exquisite, luxury resort-style living every day,” he says.

Skyline style

Burly Residences is located right on The Esplanade, North Burleigh beachfront, features 101 residences, with a mix of spacious apartments, skyhomes, and penthouses.

“The building has a 40-metre ocean frontage, the largest oceanfront of any development that is currently under construction in Burleigh, says Mr Parsons.”

David Devine from DD Living, an industry leader with 40 years of development experience, engaged an expert team of designers and architects to bring Burly Residences to life.

The team included architect Koichi Takada, who is world-famous for his designs, and Miriam Fanning from Mim Design, a very well-known interior designer based in Melbourne who works all around the country.

They have come together to create a landmark building that combines architectural excellence with refined interiors.

Modern coastal elegance

Inspired by the surrounding beach beauty, the apartments designed by Takada are light-filled and timeless in style.

Interiors flow onto oversized balconies, some spanning more than 100sqm, to capture abundant natural light and panoramic beachfront views.

Mim Design’s interiors balance functionality with elegance, featuring bespoke joinery, natural stone finishes and a palette that reflects Burleigh’s coastal setting.

“The interior colours, fixtures and finishes by Mim Design capture a vision of contemporary coastal luxury,” says Mr Parsons.

Meanwhile, the surrounding grounds are extensively lush and green thanks to landscaping by LDG Landscape Architecture.

“There is so much layering that goes into their landscape designs, so you have distinctive architecture, sophisticated interiors, and then just exceptional landscaping, creating an overall sense of beauty and balance,” says Mr Parsons.

Wellness and recreation

Residents of Burly can make the most of premium amenities, including two luxurious pools, a yoga and Pilates studio, a Peloton room, gymnasium, infrared sauna, spa, cinema and more.

“There’s a dedicated Teppanyaki Bar, a resident’s kitchen area and a private dining room that you can book out for functions,” says Mr Parsons.

Residents at Burly will also enjoy close proximity to the iconic Burleigh Heads village, well-known for its vibrant dining and café culture, boutique shopping, coastal headland walking tracks and relaxed charm that continues to elevate the suburb as a premier residential and leisure location.

In the local area, Burly Residences buyers will benefit from significant new developments including Australia’s first new Mondrian Hotel with its signature restaurants.

“It’s created a lot of energy and in our view, it’ll be a catalyst for property prices taking another jump forward in Burleigh.

“And then close by you’ve got places like The Oxley, with several quality restaurants like Lars, it’s never been a better time to be on the Gold Coast,” Mr Parsons explains.

Construction underway

Construction by the builder, Gowdie Management Group, is well underway and due to be completed at the end of 2027.

Luxury two-bedroom residences start from $2.4 million with various sizes from 116sqm including 20sqm balconies, featuring spacious layouts designed to capture the essence of relaxed beachfront living.

“The combination of luxurious apartments, beachfront views, and sophisticated amenities creates a unique opportunity for prestige buyers.

“The Sales Gallery is right on the beachfront, upstairs at the North Burleigh Surf Life Saving Club, so buyers can drop in any day and really get a sense of the Burly lifestyle,” Mr Parsons said.
