Tourism continues to boom on the Sunshine Coast.
Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel opened its doors this week, marking the arrival of the first internationally branded new-build hotel in the region in more than four decades.
The opening signals a new phase for Mooloolaba, as growing domestic and international demand reshapes one of Australia’s most established coastal destinations.
Positioned on Mooloolaba Esplanade overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the 180-room hotel features open social spaces.
Scott Wright, the hotel GM, said the opening marks the culmination of a long-term vision to elevate the Sunshine Coast experience.
“We are thrilled to welcome our first guests and deliver on our promise to bring a new level of accommodation and dining to the Sunshine Coast,” Wright said.
“Our team is ready to help guests settle in, explore the hotel and experience everything this destination has to offer.”
Craig Hooley, Chief Operating Officer of Minor Hotels Australasia, added that the opening represents a significant milestone in the group’s regional expansion strategy.
“The opening of Avani Mooloolaba Beach Hotel marks an important step in the continued growth of our premium brand portfolio across Australasia,” Hooley said.
"Avani Mooloolaba’s rooftop pool and terrace anchor the experience, while AvaniSpa and AvaniFit offer space to reset.
"An Avani Experience Host is available to tailor each stay, connecting guests with curated experiences across the Sunshine Coast, from ocean activities and coastal trails to local dining and cultural touchpoints."
Dining experiences are headed by Sully’s Rooftop, the hotel’s signature restaurant under executive chef Marky Godbeer. There is also the Lobby Bar at street level.
The timing aligns with broader investment across the region. The Mooloolaba Foreshore Revitalisation Project is set to enhance the beachfront with expanded parkland and improved access, while the $170 million redevelopment of Sunshine Coast Airport will strengthen connectivity from key domestic and international markets including Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Auckland, Denpasar and Singapore.
Opening rates start from $319 per night, based on two adults sharing a deluxe king room on a bed and breakfast basis, inclusive of taxes and service charge.
