Wellness-inspired luxe apartments launched from $1.35m
Set on the beachfront at 188 Jefferson Lane, Retreat Palm Beach will span nine levels and include two- and three-bedroom residences, most with butler's pantries, private outdoor spaces and curated interior finishes. Prices range from $1.35m to $3.95m.
Retreat Palm Beach is the fourth Gold Coast development by Ignite Projects and comes hot on the heels of The Monaco – a landmark luxury tower at Main Beach completed in 2024 and a finalist for The Urban Developer's Development of the Year award – and Cabana, one of the Gold Coast's fastest-selling residential projects of 2021.
Designed by Plus Architecture, Retreat Palm Beach is inspired by the Mediterranean, with soft curves, natural textures, and an emphasis on light, air, and indoor-outdoor flow.
A feature is the ground-floor communal wellness space, envisioned as a subterranean Mediterranean-style day spa, with a lagoon pool and floating day beds.
It will also include a cold plunge pool, spa, infra-red sauna, gymnasium, barbecue and outdoor dining areas.
Residents will have access to communal e-bikes and a digital concierge system for booking amenities and services.
Ignite Projects director Josh Foote said it would be a luxury sanctuary by the sea.
'We've considered every detail, from the flow of each floorplan to the materials and amenities, to ensure Retreat delivers calm, clarity and connection for residents,' he said.
'We want this space to feel like a retreat from the harsh elements of the beach, so there is a softness to the design featuring curved forms, warm organic stone, textured materials, and lush tropical gardens that create a real sense of relaxation and privacy.
'It's a rare beachfront opportunity that prioritises wellness, privacy, and a genuine sense of retreat – something we believe the market is really craving right now.'
Sales and marketing is being led by New Property Agents (NPA), continuing their successful partnership with Ignite Projects on Cabana and The Monaco.
NPA chief executive Andrew Erwin said Retreat Palm Beach offered a rare chance to secure a residence of scale and quality in a tightly held beachfront location.
'Retreat Palm Beach responds perfectly to what we know buyers want – boutique scale, absolute quality, and a lifestyle that's both elevated and effortless,' he said.
'The demand for premium beachfront residences in Palm Beach continues to grow, but supply remains incredibly limited, especially for people looking for a holiday home investment.
'Retreat offers a rare opportunity for buyers to secure a future-forward residence in one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held locations. Whether it's a downsizer looking for low-maintenance luxury or a lifestyle investor wanting flexible holiday income, this project ticks all the right boxes.'
Construction is expected to start in October, with completion scheduled for late 2027.For more information or to book an appointment at the on-site sales display, visit retreatpalmbeach.

‘Beaut little hub': This rebadged suburban spot crackles with community spirit
Berkelo might be the Northern Beaches' most-loved artisan bakery. Eadie founded the business in 2016 and, after expanding from Brookvale to open stores in Mosman and Manly, Berkelo attracted the attention of a bigger sourdough fish, and Sonoma acquired the bakery brand a few months ago. Eadie, with his wife, Claudia, wanted to spend more time at the Mona Vale Road restaurant. Another visit seemed like the prudent thing to do after they developed the menu with chef Nishant Pai. If you were familiar with Berkelo Kitchen but haven't been to McCarrs, I can tell you that dinner is still five Mediterranean-ish entrees and six-or-so mains, plus a few weekly specials and four pizzas. You can still order that massive CopperTree Farms steak. On a cold Saturday evening the other week, a group of mates had the right idea: sitting around an outdoor fire and sharing slices topped with pepperoni, honey and chilli. They were also enjoying a zucchini pizza similar to the one I'd had back in the summer. Framed by gum trees, a car park and native shrubs, the outdoor area doubles as a cafe by day, with a general store stocking cakes, sandwiches, pastries, flowers, pantry staples and bread. You might use it as a base camp for Ku-ring-gai National Park, ordering a coffee and a macadamia brownie before hiking the Wallaroo walking track. Tomorrow, there'll be a 'winter feast' with markets, live music, mulled wine and roast porchetta. Nice one. Meanwhile, the restaurant's on track to become something special; the service just needs a little tightening. Floor staff are friendly, but finished plates are best left on the table while other people are still eating. 'We're saving room for cake' is code for 'Can you bring a dessert menu?', not 'Please disappear for 10 minutes and return only to ask if we'd like the bill'. When dessert does arrive, it's stewed Crimson Snow apples under a puffy golden cloud of buttermilk shortcake. Is that fire still going? Is there whisky? (Yes.) Before that, fish of the day (respectfully pan-fried snapper fillet) comes with a balanced beurre blanc spruced up with dill oil. A 300g steak thumping with veal jus is sparked by three types of pepper (green, black and Tasmanian mountain), while a fennel and cos salad shines with the right amount of mustard vinaigrette.
