Forty-eight hours on Broadbeach Island

Assumptions: two adults, Friday and Saturday nights, arriving by plane or car on Friday afternoon. All times below are the venues' published hours as of 29 October 2026. Swap restaurants freely — but check the opening days first, because Kiyomi, Cucina Vivo and Uncle Su do not all open every night.

If you have only 24 hours
