Where two states meet the sea: Radia puts one of Australia’s rarest coastal views at home

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: S&S Projects
• Builder: Hutchinson Builders
• Address: 271 Boundary Street, Rainbow Bay, QLD 4225
• No. of Residences: 38
• Estimated Completion Date: Late 2027

There’s a point along the Gold Coast’s southern headland where the coastline bends, the state border dissolves into ocean, and the view stretches in every direction at once. Stand here and you can trace the Pacific north toward Broadbeach, south to the beaches of Kingscliff, and west into the hinterland ranges that frame it all. It’s the kind of view that makes you stop mid-sentence.

Radia is built to hold it, and to give 38 households the rare privilege of calling it home.

It’s a genuinely uncommon aspect in today’s market: panoramic 360-degree views across both sides of the Queensland-New South Wales border.

With two- to five-bedroom residences selling, it can be yours.

A building shaped by what it sees

The architecture of Radia, designed by Cottee Parker, represents its natural environment. The building’s fluid, organic form echoes the movement of sand shaped by tides, with a deliberate emphasis on horizontal lines that stretch the eye toward the horizon at every level. Landscaped balconies and communal retreats are carved into the façade much like the grotto-like caves that define Rainbow Bay’s rocky cape below.

Inside, the logic is the same. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open onto wraparound balconies, drawing the coastline into open-plan living areas. Sunlight floods across light-washed timber floorboards, and curved fluted panelling echoes the same natural formations visible just beyond the glass. Here, the building doesn’t just face the view, but is designed from the view outward.

Homes that extend into the horizon

Across two-, three-, four-, and five-bedroom residences, every detail of the interior reinforces the connection to the coast outside. Textured natural stone surfaces run across benchtops, splashbacks, and bathroom walls, complemented by integrated bars with wine fridges, freestanding stone bathtubs, and 100% wool carpeting – the hallmarks of S&S Projects’ signature ‘Barefoot Luxury’ aesthetic.

“Radia is a very special project for us at S&S,” said Paul Gedoun, founding director of S&S and Rainbow Bay local.

“Every detail has been designed with comfort, privacy, and convenience, ensuring residents live an unparalleled lifestyle.

“Radia’s design is a fusion of coastal living with contemporary luxury, drawing inspiration from the iconic character and lifestyle of this unique waterfront enclave.”

The Residents Club: where the view becomes a ritual

The Residents Club level at Radia elevates the experience of the headland location into something daily and intentional. The lap pool and heated magnesium spa face the coastline, turning an afternoon swim into something closer to meditation. The pool deck, the outdoor dining and BBQ area, and the private lounge… these are spaces that invite residents to sit with the view rather than passing by it.

For restoration and recovery, the wellness suite includes an ice bath, infrared sauna, hot rocks sauna, and steam room. A fully equipped gym and Business Centre round out an amenity offering built around genuine, everyday use, not just facilities to tick off a list.

Five of the world’s best surf breaks, on the doorstep

Rainbow Bay’s reputation as a surf mecca is anchored in geography. Snapper Rocks, one of the most celebrated point breaks on the planet, sits at the base of the headland. Kirra, Duranbah, Greenmount, and Coolangatta Beach complete a run of five world-class waves accessible within a short walk. As a result, dedicated surfboard storage and beach lockers are built into Radia’s design as standard – the small details that make the difference between a weekend pursuit and a daily practice.

As a resident, you will also find that Coolangatta Airport is close, Brisbane is an hour north, and Byron Bay is 50 minutes south. This is tranquillity amidst ultimate convenience and connectivity.

S&S Projects: 20 years of experience

Radia is S&S Projects’ fourth consecutive development in Rainbow Bay, following Flow (completed 2023), Awaken (completed 2024), and Esprit (currently under construction). Each has been delivered by the same core team of developer, architect, and builder, and each has deepened S&S Projects’ understanding of what discerning buyers in this enclave actually want.

“We have created something truly special, a landmark project for Rainbow Bay that caters to the needs of coastal modern living,” said Paul.

With just 38 residences and completion expected in late 2027, opportunities at Radia are limited.

Prices start at $2.05 million for a stunning two-bedroom residence with two bathrooms and one car parking space. The sub-penthouses and penthouses are available, too.
