Sunshine coast to get new eco resort and spa
A Badderam Eco Luxe Resort & Spa in the heart of Buderim has received the seal of approval from the Sunshine Coast Council.
It is an important change in the area - the first major 5-star development in the region in the past 30 years.
And when it is built, it will be aligned with the new Sunshine Coast international airport in 2020.
Baddaram resort will be Queensland’s first zero waste eco resort and it will have a 6-star ‘Green Star’ building rating.
According to the plans, it will have 111 rooms and suites, three restaurants and bars, a 10-room wellness day spa and health centre, a heated resort style pools and hot tubs, wine tasting room and wine cellar, and extensive conference and function facilities.
There will also be a crèche, a cookery school, a chauffeur service and a Tesla electric vehicle fleet for complimentary guest usage.
Badderam’s developers, Heidi Meyer and Kim Carroll, said Council’s approval was a major step forward to create “an ecological and site-sensitive experience in conservation.”
“The Badderam Resort is intended to be a discerning destination in which visitors and locals can delight.” the pair told Spice News.
“We intend exceptional restaurant and spa facilities and award-winning levels of guest service, amongst a densely landscaped oasis of incredible natural beauty. This proposed new sanctuary for the Sunshine Coast of Australia
is intended to promote wellbeing, rejuvenation and nourish the senses. Offering a new truly international standard of luxurious accommodation, the resort will provide the ultimate location for a revitalising holiday or executive retreat. Expect also a discreet and beautiful venue to host an intimate wedding, conference, or event.”
Sunshine Coast CEO Simon Latchford said it was the kind of investment that the Sunshine Coast needs.
“The jobs and economic benefit that Badderam Eco Luxe Resort & Spa will bring makes it a must-have project for the region,” Me Latchford told Spice News.
“Together with the game changing Sunshine Coast Airport project, Badderam will assist in providing the five-star accommodation and facilities that domestic and international visitors are seeking.”
