Iconic Island Resort for Sale by HTL Property

In a move that is set to captivate the hospitality and tourism sectors, the iconic South Molle Island in the Whitsunday Islands of Queensland has been officially brought to market for sale. 

Located in one of Australia’s most breath-taking destinations, HTL Property has been exclusively appointed to sell this impeccably positioned tropical island; which offers a unique opportunity for investors, hoteliers and developers looking to acquire a wholly private, tropical Australian island – and in turn, a stunning piece of paradise. 

Leading agents Andrew Jackson, Andrew Jolliffe and Paul Nyholt of the boutique specialist national brokerage firm, HTL Property, will exclusively steer the sale campaign of the island site; which is being offered with vacant possession. South Molle Island is brimming with natural beauty and incorporating 28 hectares of pristine developable land, including space for a luxury beachfront resort and an expansive parcel in the centre of the island's extraordinarily picturesque national park. 

“With its simply immaculate location, stunning natural beauty, and existing infrastructure including a recently constructed jetty, South Molle Island presents as a one-of-a-kind development opportunity in arguably the Asia Pacific region's most coveted resort destination" advised HTL Property National Accommodation Director, Andrew Jackson. 

“The sale of South Molle Island represents an exciting opportunity for investors and developers seeking to capitalise upon one of Australia’s most stunning tourist destinations" commented HTL Property Managing Director, Andrew Jolliffe. 

“The property’s prime location and unparalleled natural beauty, make it an attractive prospect for those looking to enter the Australian resort market or expand an existing portfolio with complete control over the scope of the site" added Jackson. 

The Whitsundays region is renowned for its year-round appeal, attracting millions of visitors who come for the pristine beaches, adventure experiences; and close proximity to the Great Barrier Reef – it truly is an international holiday dream destination" offered HTL Property Director, Paul Nyholt. 

“With strong tourism trends expected to continue, South Molle Island offers tremendous growth and unlimited upside potential for a buyer with the vision to further develop the property's natural beauty" Nyholt added. 

“The island has previously been home to the Adventure Island Whitsundays resort, which comprised 188 rooms and premium facilities ranging from multiple resort pools to a golf course" noted Jolliffe. South Molle Island is the latest in line of luxury island development sites to hit the market, with Long Island, Lizard Island, Dunk Island and Hook Island all finding new owners over the past four years. 

“New resort developments in the Whitsundays, such as Hook Island’s upcoming eco-resort and the ultra-exclusive Elysian Retreat on Long Island; highlight the surging market interest in new accommodation in the region" offered Jackson. 

“Recently opened and upcoming accommodation in the area ranges in scale between higher density resort complexes with 150+ rooms to private, boutique experiences with as little as 10 rooms, illustrating the fact that there’s no limit to what you can do with the advantageous positioning and peerless appeal of the Whitsundays" Jackson concluded. 

South Molle Island is being offered for sale via an International Expression of Interest campaign. 

Interested parties are invited to contact the exclusive HTL Property agents directly for further details regarding the sale process.
