Pacific Fair Shopping Centre

Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, at Broadbeach Waters on the Gold Coast, is one of the largest and most impressive shopping destinations in the country. Following a major redevelopment, it's become a glamorous, resort-style centre with hundreds of stores — from everyday essentials to luxury international brands — alongside dining, entertainment and beautifully landscaped open-air spaces.

The appeal is that sheer scale and quality: a vast, modern centre that's as much a destination as a shopping trip, with its luxury precinct, extensive dining options and relaxed, sunny outdoor design fitting the Gold Coast perfectly. Just back from Broadbeach and the beach, it's a natural stop for visitors and locals alike.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 18,000 reviews, it's a hugely popular destination. Store and dining opening hours, seasonal trading times and any events vary, and it gets very busy during sales, weekends and holiday periods, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — and allowing plenty of time, as the centre is large and there's far more to it than you can cover in a quick visit.
