Discover Local

Our local makers. Made here. For you.

The Gold Coast is more than a destination, it's a community of makers, growers, artists, and entrepreneurs whose work shapes this place every day. At Mercure Gold Coast Resort, we've woven the best of them into your stay.

From the honey on your breakfast plate to the scent in your room, every detail of your stay at Mercure Gold Coast is an introduction to someone local. Discover Local is our commitment to the people and the place behind the Gold Coast experience.

Each of our Discover Local partners is selected not just for the quality of what they make, but for the story behind how they make it and what it says about this place.

Urban Sun

A Gold Coast family's passion for everyday calm

Urban Sun was born on the Gold Coast during a period when so many of us were searching for ways to feel more grounded at home. A certified Australian-owned, family-run business, they set out to create an essential oils brand that was genuinely pure, genuinely local, and genuinely accessible.

Their room mists, diffuser blends, and aromatherapy products are crafted to promote real rest and wellbeing, not as a luxury, but as an everyday practice. That's exactly why we chose them for our guests.

Urban Sun aromatherapy products feature in our Privilege Rooms, chosen to help guests arrive, breathe, and genuinely settle in.

Hive & Harvest

Honey the way it was always meant to taste

Hive & Harvest are Queensland beekeepers with a simple philosophy: let the landscape do the work. Their raw honey is sourced from botanically diverse ecosystems across South East Queensland, each variety a direct expression of what's flowering nearby, from coastal gums to hinterland wildflowers.

Dedicated to sustainable beekeeping, they work in harmony with their environment to bring honey to the table in its purest, most unadulterated form. No additives. No shortcuts. Just what the bees made.

You'll find Hive & Harvest honey served throughout dishes on The Green Dining and Cart menus, the same jar, the same bees, the same Gold Coast region.

BSKT Wholefoods

Ancient ingredients. Living culture. Made on Country.

BSKT Wholefoods is a majority Indigenous-owned and operated business rooted in the Gold Coast's Nobbys Beach community. Led by proud Bundjalung man Ryan James and co-founder Greg Bird, BSKT Wholefoods honours the food knowledge of Australia's First Peoples by bringing native ingredients like Davidson Plum, finger lime, and Old Man Saltbush into everyday, plant-based products.

The packaging itself tells the story, designed by Katrina Graves, a proud Wiradjuri woman and Gold Coast artist, whose work connects food, culture, and connection to Country. Every purchase supports Indigenous employment and ethical sourcing from Australian native ingredient growers.

BSKT Wholefoods chocolates and protein bars features in our curated welcome gifts as well as in our Privilege Rooms, a genuine taste of Yugambeh Country, right here on the Gold Coast.
