Gold Coast Airport to Burleigh Heads — Private Chauffeur Transfer

Burleigh Heads is one of the Gold Coast's most loved beach towns — a boho-chic village with world-class surf, boutique dining, and a thriving artisan food scene. It's also one of the closest major suburbs to Gold Coast Airport (OOL), sitting just 14 km north via the Gold Coast Highway.

About the Route

The transfer from OOL to Burleigh Heads takes just 15–20 minutes — making it one of the shortest and most convenient airport runs on the Gold Coast. Your chauffeur heads north from Coolangatta through Tugun and Palm Beach before arriving in the Burleigh Heads village or at James Street's café and restaurant strip.

The short distance makes Burleigh especially attractive for business travellers who want to stay outside the crowded Surfers Paradise tower corridor while maintaining close proximity to the airport for early departures.

Vehicle Options & Pricing

Vehicle Passengers Price
Lexus ES300h Sedan 1–3 from $89
Mercedes-Benz V-Class 1–7 from $115
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1–11 from $149

Why Burleigh Heads is Worth the Journey

Burleigh Heads National Park sits right in the town — rare for a beach suburb anywhere in the world. The headland walk offers 270° views of the coastline from Coolangatta to Surfers Paradise. James Street has become the Gold Coast's most talked-about restaurant precinct, with venues like The Fish House, Mr Humbug, Justin Lane Rooftop Bar, and Rick Shores drawing diners from across Australia. Burleigh Farmers Market (Saturday mornings) is a food lovers' institution.

Surfers and water sports enthusiasts prize Burleigh for its iconic right-hand point break — ranked among the best in Queensland.
