In huge news for the Sunshine Coast, Calile Malouf Investments (CMI) has earned approval from Noosa Council to build a brand-new integrated resort adjacent to the Noosa River, on a 2.4-hectare site located at 3–7 Serenity Close. Surrounded by bushland, the site was selected for its natural beauty, with a strong community spirit also credited as a deciding factor in CMI’s decision to expand north.
“We worked collaboratively with the Noosa Council and fine-tuned the scheme to ensure we addressed the planning scheme and community expectations,” said The Calile co-owner and CMI director Michael Malouf in a statement. “Resort sites are often at risk of being ceded to multinational hotel companies who impose incongruous designs and standards upon the local community. By contrast, The Calile is a home-grown Southeast Queensland brand with an implicit understanding of the local culture, climate, community, demographic and attributes.”
CMI has once again enlisted the services of award-winning architecture practice Richard’s & Spence to spearhead the new resort’s design. The Calile Noosa’s aesthetic will be informed by its location, with the resort expected to comprise of 153 rooms (the standard room being a minimum of 45 sqm), 29 suites and four three-bedroom villas. The hotel will also boast a 50-metre main swimming pool, a second quiet pool in a private garden setting, comprehensive wellness facilities and function spaces. The Calile Noosa development will also look to implement carbon-neutral operations, which will feature as part of a broader sustainability strategy.
Work on the project will commence in early 2025, with Buildcorp tasked with the resort’s three-year construction program. We’ll have updates for you as the build progresses.
