Make a Splash: Host the Ultimate Pool Party at Ambrym Estate.
There’s something undeniably magical about gathering under Queensland’s endless sunshine, surrounded by lush greenery, sparkling water and the relaxed luxury of a private estate. At Ambrym Estate, our resort-style pool isn’t just a backdrop, it’s the heart of an unforgettable celebration. From milestone birthdays and hens weekends to corporate soirées and post-wedding recovery brunches, this space offers the perfect blend of sophistication and pure, sun-soaked fun.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a full-scale poolside event, here’s how to elevate your next celebration with a pool party at Ambrym Estate.
1. Curate Your Signature Poolside Style
Transform the resort-style pool deck into a dreamy summer escape. Think:
Oversized umbrellas and luxe daybeds for guests to unwind in style
A chic lounge zone featuring white linens, bamboo accents, and relaxed island motifs
Float-by florals water-friendly arrangements in soft pastels for a soft, romantic touch
Pool-safe LED lanterns to bring the space to life as the sun goes down
Ambrym Estate naturally lends itself to beautifully styled events with its uninterrupted greenery, crisp architectural lines and that breathtaking pool pavilion.
2. Create an Irresistible Drinks Experience
A pool party deserves a cocktail menu as refreshing as the water itself. Some favourites for a sunlit celebration:
Pacific Ocean Vodka spritzes with Reef Distillers Fingerlime Vodka pearls
Fresh mango daiquiris served in chilled coupes
Classic Pimm’s jugs with plenty of fruit and mint
A DIY spritz bar where guests can personalise their flavours
Add a mimosa station for morning events or a rosé cart for those dreamy late-afternoon gatherings.
3. Serve a Menu Made for Poolside Grazing
Keep things light, vibrant and easy to enjoy between dips:
Grazing tables brimming with Queensland cheeses, summer fruits and artisan crackers
Seafood platters celebrating the Southern Great Barrier Reef—think prawns, oysters and Moreton Bay bugs
Mini sliders, bao buns and fresh tacos for an elevated take on classic party fare
Gelato cups or an ice-cream cart to cool everyone down in the afternoon sun
Local caterers love working with this space, there’s plenty of room to serve, mingle and enjoy.
4. Add Entertainment That Feels Effortlessly Fun
Give your guests something to talk about long after the party ends:
A live acoustic set by the pool for laid-back daytime celebrations
A sunset DJ spinning coastal beats as the pool sparkles with twilight reflections
Floating pool lights or inflatables tailored to your theme
Oversized lawn games like giant Jenga and cornhole beside the pool deck
For private events like hens weekends or luxury birthdays, consider adding a cocktail masterclass or a roving magician for unexpected delight.
5. Capture the Magic From Above
Ambrym’s pool island creates a truly iconic photo moment, especially when captured by drone. Whether it’s a bride and groom sharing a quiet moment (as seen in the image) or guests laughing poolside, the elevated angles highlight the symmetry of the pool, the greenery beyond, and the elegance of the estate itself.
It’s the kind of backdrop that turns a simple celebration into a statement event.
6. Extend the Celebration Across the Estate
One of the greatest luxuries of hosting your pool party at Ambrym Estate is having the entire property at your disposal. Guests can:
Relax by the pool throughout the afternoon
Move into the pavilion for speeches or sunset cocktails
Enjoy the farmhouse breakfast experience the following morning, complete with fresh pastries, seasonal fruit and mimosas
Retreat to our farmhouse, honeymoon suite or left wing for an extended stay surrounded by tranquillity
It’s the perfect way to turn a single celebration into a full-weekend escape.
