Artist Impression of The Continental Sorrento

The Continental

The Return
of an Icon

The Continental has been Sorrento’s most famous landmark since 1875 and this summer sees its long-awaited return. Retaining its beloved heritage character, the icon has been reimagined as a lifestyle precinct that brings a piece of luxury to everyone. Located in the heart of Victoria’s most sought-after seaside town with unforgettable views over Port Phillip Bay, The Continental is home to a highly curated collection of dining, entertainment and 5-star resort experiences.

Eat & Drink

A Curated
Experience

Introducing coastal culinary experiences like you’ve never seen before: from fine dining in a truly magnificent setting, to sunset cocktails with a view, remastered gastro pub classics and beers straight off the beach. Delivered in a first-of-its-kind partnership between award-winning chef and restauranteur, Scott Pickett, and renowned publican, Craig Shearer, The Continental will be full to the brim of indulgent experiences to satisfy all palettes.
