THE SANDS TORQUAY

There’s something about getting married by the coast that no ballroom can replicate – the light, the air, the feeling that the world has opened up just for you. Nestled among sand dunes with sweeping fairway views, The Sands Torquay is where that feeling lives. Just 90 minutes from Melbourne and 30 minutes from Geelong, it’s close enough to be convenient and far enough to feel like an escape.

Whether you’re dreaming of an open-air ceremony on the Golf Lawn with iconic course views, an intimate gathering on the Spike Terrace or a refined indoor celebration in Spike, The Sands offers distinctive settings for weddings of 10 to 250 guests.

Prefer something off-site? The team can point you toward stunning local beaches or charming nearby churches that suit your style perfectly.

The culinary team at Sabbia, The Sands’ onsite Italian-inspired restaurant, brings the same care to wedding menus as they do to every service. Fresh, locally-sourced produce. Menus tailored to you. From welcome drinks to the final course, every detail is considered.

With 112 well-appointed rooms, from contemporary Urban rooms to golf-facing suites, your guests never have to go far. A group accommodation code makes it easy for family and friends to book in and make a full weekend of it.

The Sands is proudly dog-friendly, with dedicated dog-friendly rooms, meaning your furry best friend can be part of the day too.

From manicured fairways to dramatic coastal backdrops and the occasional kangaroo photobombing in the background, The Sands offers endless opportunities for images you’ll treasure forever.

The team at The Sands Torquay will work closely with you from first enquiry to last dance, bringing your vision to life while taking care of every detail along the way.

Your love story deserves a setting as beautiful as the two of you. The Sands Torquay is ready when you are.
