Nestled between the lush bushland and the sparkling shores of Peregian Beach, Glen Eden Beach Resort is once again making waves in Queensland’s tourism scene. We’re incredibly proud to announce that Glen Eden has been awarded the prestigious Best of Queensland Experience award for the second year in a row – 2024 and now again in 2025!

This back-to-back recognition is not just a badge of honour – it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to creating a relaxed, unforgettable coastal escape for every guest who walks through our doors.

What Is the Best of Queensland Experience Program?

The Best of Queensland Experience Program (BOQEP) is an initiative by Tourism and Events Queensland, in partnership with Visit Sunshine Coast, the Queensland Tourism Industry Council, and the Department of Tourism and Sport. It recognises tourism operators who consistently deliver high-quality visitor experiences and meet or exceed customer expectations.

To be awarded, businesses are assessed across a variety of factors including online reviews, response rates, customer service, booking systems, and their overall brand presence online.

Receiving this award not just once, but twice, confirms what our returning guests already know – that Glen Eden Beach Resort is a truly special place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the best of what the Sunshine Coast has to offer.

Why Glen Eden Beach Resort Stands Out

So, what sets Glen Eden Beach Resort apart from the rest?

For starters, we’re tucked away in the serene coastal village of Peregian Beach, one of the Sunshine Coast’s most loved hidden gems. Here, life moves at a gentler pace. The ocean breeze greets you each morning, and native birdsong provides the perfect soundtrack to your day. From sunrise beach strolls to afternoons by the pool, Glen Eden is the kind of place where time slows down – and that’s exactly the point.

Direct Beach Access

One of our biggest drawcards is that we’re just steps from the sand. With direct private access to the pristine, uncrowded beach, guests can enjoy the rhythm of the waves from sunrise to sunset. Whether you’re a surfer chasing a clean swell, a family building sandcastles, or someone who just wants to breathe in the salty air, Glen Eden offers the ideal setting.

Spacious, Self-Contained Townhouses

Our accommodation is designed with comfort and space in mind. Each of our fully self-contained two- and three-bedroom townhouses includes everything you need for a relaxing stay – full kitchens, laundry facilities, private balconies or courtyards, and plenty of room to spread out. It’s perfect for families, couples, or groups looking for a true home-away-from-home experience.

Resort-Style Facilities

We’ve carefully curated our facilities to support the holiday mindset. Enjoy our heated lagoon-style pool, relax in the spa and sauna, cook up a storm in our BBQ area, or let the kids burn off energy in the onsite games room. Our lush tropical gardens create a peaceful, private atmosphere you’ll love returning to after a day exploring the coast.

A Testament to Passionate Local Management

Glen Eden has been under the warm and dedicated management of Hamish and Jess Watts. Their hands-on approach has transformed the guest experience and breathed new life into the resort. From garden upgrades to eco-friendly enhancements and beautifully maintained facilities, their efforts have played a key role in securing this award two years running.

The couple’s passion for hospitality, community engagement, and creating a sustainable future for Glen Eden is evident in every detail. Whether you’re booking for the first time or returning again, their personalised service and genuine care help make every stay special.

More Than Just a Resort – It’s an Experience

At Glen Eden Beach Resort, we believe in creating memorable experiences, not just providing accommodation. That’s why we’re committed to going the extra mile – whether it’s helping guests plan the perfect day trip, offering insider tips on the best local cafes and markets, or simply making you feel at home from the moment you arrive.

We’re also proud to support eco-conscious practices, from water and energy conservation to waste reduction and native landscaping, helping preserve the natural beauty of Peregian Beach for future generations.

Things to Do Around Glen Eden

One of the great joys of staying at Glen Eden is the ideal location. Just 2km from the charming Peregian Beach village, you’re close enough to enjoy boutique shopping, coffee at beachside cafes, while still feeling worlds away from the hustle.

Looking to explore further? We’re a short drive to:

• Noosa Heads – great for national park walks and vibrant dining
• Coolum Beach – known for its laid-back surf vibe
• Eumundi Markets – a must-visit for art, fashion, and food lovers
• Mount Coolum – for spectacular 360° views after a short, scenic hike
