A new chapter in beachfront luxury has arrived on the southern Gold Coast, with Haven opening its doors above the pristine sands of Burleigh Heads.

Situated within the newly launched Mondrian Gold Coast, the first Australian outpost of the global hotel brand, the destination venue offers a seamless blend of restaurant, pool club and beachside escape.

At the helm is Executive Chef Aaron Teece, whose résumé includes fine-dining heavyweights such as EST., Felix, and Manly Pavilion — delivering an all-day dining experience rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and provenance.

“When ingredients are respected, simplicity speaks loudest,” says Teece. “It’s about letting the food and location do the talking.”

Set across the hotel’s third floor, Haven unfolds in stages: from sun-soaked lunches in the main dining room, to twilight cocktails at the sunset bar, to poolside indulgence in private cabanas.

The design, by Sydney’s Alexander & Co., reflects the easy luxury of its setting, pairing tactile interiors with uninterrupted ocean views and a relaxed yet refined pace.

On the plate, expect seafood sourced from Cairns to Byron Bay, premium local meats, and hinterland produce, all threaded together by a central woodfire grill.

The menu is polished but approachable — think raw bar delicacies, share-style plates and bold coastal flavours that match the panoramic backdrop.

The drinks program reflects the culinary ethos, offering a range of top-shelf Australian and international wines, a dedicated agave list, and beach-friendly cocktails designed for enjoyment from midday to moonlight.

Opening to the public from June 5, Haven marks a new benchmark for lifestyle dining on the Gold Coast — a destination where food, design, and oceanfront ambience meet. It’s more than a restaurant — it’s a rhythm, a mood, and a moment worth lingering over.

When Lamborghini takes to the water, subtlety isn’t on the agenda. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is a 30-metre superyacht that fuses Italian automotive theatre with cutting-edge naval engineering.

The model builds on the collaboration that began in 2020 with the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a sell-out success that celebrated the marque’s founding year.

This new flagship pushes the partnership between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group to a grander scale, designed to deliver the same adrenaline rush at sea that drivers expect behind the wheel.

“The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT redefines the concept of nautical luxury,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.

“It is not only a yacht, but an affirmation of Italian excellence. The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini share an exclusive clientele who are passionate about beauty, technology, and extreme performance.”

Design cues are unmistakably Lamborghini. The yacht’s sharp exterior lines echo the Fenomeno supercar revealed at Monterey Car Week, complete with Giallo Crius launch livery and signature Y-shaped lighting.

Inside, the cockpit and lounges mirror the DNA of Sant’Agata supercars through hexagonal motifs, sculptural seating and dramatic contrasts. With accommodation for up to nine guests and three crew cabins, indulgence meets practicality on every deck.

Performance is equally uncompromising. Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and triple surface propellers generate a combined 7,600 horsepower, driving the yacht to 45 knots at full throttle, with a cruising speed of 35 knots. Two 35 kW generators provide additional efficiency and reliability, ensuring the yacht’s power matches its presence.

Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s Design Director, said: “With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we aimed to create a product that embodies the main design characteristics of our super sports cars. All the details, from the exterior to the colour, to the interior areas, recall and are inspired by Lamborghini’s DNA.”

Presented in scale at Monaco, the definitive Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is scheduled to hit the water at the end of 2027. For those who demand their indulgence measured not only in metres but in knots, this is Lamborghini’s most extravagant expression yet.
