Noosa Shire Council today approved the final plans for the highly anticipated development of The Calile Noosa.

Following a two-year process involving numerous community consultations and council recommendations, the Town Planning approval has been granted, allowing works to commence in early 2025 on the 2.4-hectare site located at 3-7 Serenity Close.

“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.

True to their dedication to place making and local communities, the Malouf family, (The Calile founders) has again chosen a location that they feel personally connected to and love for its natural beauty and community spirit.

“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,” said Mr. Malouf.

Designed by architects Richard's & Spence, responsible for The Calile Hotel James St's widely regarded design, the integrated new resort is informed by its location and will comprise of 153 rooms, 29 suites and 4 villas, offering guests the luxury of space.

Embedded in a bushland setting, the large site allows for spacious, proportioned facilities, including a 50-metre main swimming pool plus a second quiet pool in a private garden setting, comprehensive wellness facilities and function spaces.

All hotel rooms will be generously sized with the standard room being a minimum of 45m2 and a range of larger suites. There will also be three-bedroom villas for family or group bookings.

The Calile is synonymous with design integrity, a commitment to local community and sustainability, and quality service – all elements that have seen it recognised in the World's 50 Best Hotels and named Best Hotel in Oceania for two consecutive years.

The Noosa development will target carbon neutral operations as part of its broader sustainability strategy. Working with Buildcorp The Calile Noosa project will commence work in 2025 with an anticipated 3-year construction program.
