Vitamin sea - why holiday by the beach when you can live there?

With the weather warming up and the holiday season fast approaching, now is the perfect time for a beachside getaway. We don’t blame you for dreaming of relaxing days by the sea, strolling along the water, breathing in the salty air and just feeling better overall. 

Considering Queensland’s booming property market and the recent uptake of work from home shifting lifestyles, it’s now the perfect time to make a more permanent move to the beach. 

In addition to the property opportunities presented by the Queensland market, there’s also a host of health and lifestyle opportunities that come with a coastal property. Studies show that we feel more rested and relaxed after a visit to the seaside. Dr Lewis Elliot from the Univerity of Exeter, who studies how exposure to the beachside affects our wellbeing, speaks of the coast’s restorative properties; “If you use up a lot of cognitive resources in your daily life, being in natural places can replenish these resources.”

And sunny Queensland certainly has plenty of natural splendour - especially Palm Beach and Mermaid Beach. If you’re looking to move to Palm Beach, Abadeen Group’s Villea is perfectly positioned to maximise the ocean views. The development packages all the best elements of coastal living into beautiful apartments. Being only 400m from the beach also means you will be more likely to live a more active, healthier lifestyle - and in turn, improve your overall wellbeing. 

“We know that when people go to the beach, there are opportunities to be physically active, and people are more likely to stay there for longer. Physical activity has a strong effect on mental health, and when combined with being in a natural, coastal environment, these effects become even stronger,” says Dr Elliot. 

Ventura Residences by Niecon Developments is situated in the heart of Mermaid Beach, offering an unbeatable coastal lifestyle. The laid-back and highly sought-after location is perfect for a seachange that balances the busyness of life with the essence of health and wellbeing. The beach is only 250m from home, offering the ideal setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Start your days with a morning jog, spend the afternoons swimming, or end your days with a sunset stroll with the sand between your toes - one of the many perks of living minutes from the sea. Ventura also offers an exclusive resort-style amenities deck - perfect for moments of quiet solitude backdropped by Pacific Ocean views and the gentle roars of the ocean.

Palm Beach and Mermaid Beach are both standout Queensland destinations that have managed to balance the convenience of urban amenities with the laid-back, relaxed atmosphere of coastal living.
