Dream destinations: Sprinkle some pink into your next Aussie holiday
Before jet-setting to your own Australian dreamhouse, don’t forget to Barbie-fy your whole trip from start to finish at the Domestic Terminal. Sit down at The Common and sip up a classic pink cosmopolitan before heading into Peter Alexander to pick up pink satin Barbie-themed pyjamas to wear to your next girl’s night (if you know, you know).
From glamorous beach havens to chic city escapes, these enchanting Australian destinations and activities deserve a place in Barbieland.
The Pink Hotel, Coolangatta
A dreamy blend of retro charm and modern luxury awaits you at The Pink Hotel in Coolangatta. This iconic stay, adorned in shades of Barbie’s favourite colour, is a delightful ode to all things pink conveniently located on the beautiful Gold Coast.
As you step into this whimsical haven, you’ll be greeted by pink walls, stylish furnishings, and panoramic beach views. Don’t forget to make a visit to Santeria, their retro-refreshed rooftop bar to enjoy a chilled beverage as you watch the sun paint the sky pink to match this must-stay hotel.

Hotel NO, Melbourne
Vibrancy meets avant-garde charm at Hotel NO in Melbourne, creating an experience like no other. Nestled in the heart of the lively city, this innovative hotel redefines luxury with its sleek design and impeccable attention to detail.
Step aside tiny houses, may we introduce you to trailer houses. Stay in a trailer decorated with hues of pink parked on top of an even pinker inner-city rooftop looking over Flinders Lane.

GETTING THERE
Pink. The Restaurant, Melbourne
Pink. The Restaurant is definitely Barbie’s go-to restaurant in Australia. This stylish eatery is packed with chic-pink décor, creating a fun, feminine, and totally Insta-worthy setting. However, Pink. The Restaurant offers more than just visual appeal; its menu is a celebration of contemporary and innovative cuisine, prepared with a fusion of global flavours and local ingredients.
If you’re visiting over the weekend, make sure to book in for the Sunday Bottomless Brunch to enjoy a brunch plate of your choice alongside bottomless pink cocktails and bubbly to indulge just like Barbie would. We recommend the French toast or pink crust tofu to sprinkle as much pink as possible into your Instagram posts, and your stomach, of course!
GETTING THERE
Lake Hillier, Western Australia
Nature looks pretty in pink and this offshore island in Western Australia, known as Lake Hillier, proves the point.
Soak in the everchanging pinks of Lake Hillier from above with a scenic flight. The extraordinary phenomenon is a stunning sight to behold with its mesmerising bubble-gum pink hue amidst the surrounding green landscape.
The vivid pink shade is a result of a rare combination of natural factors, including the presence of a salt-loving microalgae and a high concentration of salt in the water. When the sun kisses the lake’s surface, it gives rise to the captivating rosy tint, creating a scene straight out of a dream.
While you’re adventuring this bright pink natural wander, stay at the Esperance Chalet Village for Barbie-approved accommodation nearby to relax in luxury and comfort after your day of exploring.
GETTING THERE
Beyond the dreamhouse: Discover Barbie’s international bucket list
While you wait at the International Terminal before heading off on the international adventure of Barbie’s dreams, release the travel stress with some Barbie-themed retail therapy. Pick up pink sunnies from Sunglass Hut or perhaps some new pink eyeshadows from M.A.C to look and feel your best as soon as you step off the plane.
If you’re travelling or staying with a friend or family member on your Barbie adventure, why not grab a bottle of pink gin from Lotte Duty Free to share when you land?
Whether you’re looking to indulge and relax, or to explore the world of Barbie with fun-filled activities and loads of laughs, these international getaways are bound to blow your high heels off.
