The iconic Marina Mirage Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast is set for a major transformation. In a groundbreaking deal, Marriott International has partnered with Makris Group to develop the site into Australia's first mainland Luxury Collection resort. Scheduled to open in 2027, Marina Mirage Gold Coast, a Luxury Collection Resort, will bring a new level of luxury to the region.
The Marina Mirage redevelopment is a significant milestone for both Marriott International and the Makris Group. The new "first-class" hotel will feature 122 rooms and will be the centerpiece of a mixed-use precinct. The redevelopment aims to blend luxury with local charm, promising an array of high-end amenities including a signature restaurant, event spaces, a rooftop bar, and a wellness center.
Richard Crawford, Vice President of Hotel Development for Marriott International in Australia, expressed his enthusiasm for the project. He highlighted the resilience of the Gold Coast as a prime destination, particularly noting the strong market demand for high-quality hotel experiences. With over 35 years of experience operating leading resorts in the area, Crawford is confident that the new Luxury Collection property will be a significant addition to Marriott's portfolio.
The Makris Group, a family-owned company with a history of developing prestigious retail and residential precincts, is spearheading the project. CEO Jason Makris shared his excitement, emphasizing that the redevelopment aligns with his father's long-term vision for Marina Mirage. The new resort aims to deliver an authentic experience with local award-winning restaurants, boutiques, a state-of-the-art marina, and for the first time, a selection of villas and residences.
Marina Mirage Gold Coast is set to offer a holistic luxury experience. The resort will boast 122 guest rooms, a rooftop bar and pool, expansive gardens, and a day spa. These features are designed to provide guests with relaxation, leisure, and world-class service.
The new resort will be the second Luxury Collection property in Australia, following The Tasman in Hobart, which opened in 2021. It will join over 130 Luxury Collection hotels worldwide, known for their unique and authentic experiences. This addition underscores Marriott's commitment to expanding its luxury footprint and offering transformative journeys for global explorers.
The Marina Mirage redevelopment is expected to boost the local economy by creating up to 500 jobs during construction and attracting both domestic and international visitors. It will complement Marriott's existing properties on the Gold Coast, including JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa and Sheraton Grand Mirage Gold Coast.
The Marina Mirage Gold Coast, a Luxury Collection Resort, is poised to redefine luxury hospitality in Australia. This ambitious project reflects the shared vision of Marriott International and the Makris Group to create a world-class destination that resonates with the charm and elegance of the Gold Coast.

Sometimes the best way to celebrate Women's Day is also the simplest, just stop, breathe, and give yourself a proper break. And Clarks Exotica Convention Resort & Spa is making that very easy to do this 8th March.
The resort is rolling out special Women's Day spa offers that are genuinely good value, the kind that make it hard to say no, whether you're treating yourself or gifting someone a little moment of calm.
Set in peaceful, serene surroundings, Clarks Exotica is already the kind of place that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. This Women's Day, they're leaning into that with curated spa experiences at prices that are hard to beat.
Here's what's on offer:
Foot Massage and Massage Chair, Whether it's a quick midday reset or a thoughtful gift for a woman who deserves a little extra care these offers tick both boxes without burning a hole in your pocket.
The resort's setting does the rest of the work. Stepping away from the usual rush, even for just an hour, can do a lot and having a calm, beautiful space to do it in makes the whole experience feel that much more special.
This Women's Day, Clarks Exotica is keeping it simple and meaningful — good care, honest prices, and a genuine invitation to slow down.
Some celebrations don't need to be loud or over the top, sometimes the best ones are just good food, good people, and a rooftop with a view. And that's exactly the kind of Women's Day Sector 144 in JP Nagar is putting together.
The Bengaluru restaurant is marking the occasion with a specially curated Sunday brunch that keeps things relaxed, flavourful, and genuinely fun. Guests can pick from a thoughtful à la carte selection of dishes and refreshing beverages, all while soaking in the breezy rooftop ambience that the place is known for. It's the kind of afternoon that doesn't rush you, just lets you settle in, eat well, and enjoy the company around you.
The idea behind the brunch goes beyond just a meal. It's a small but heartfelt tribute to creativity, community, and the everyday warmth that women bring into the lives of those around them. Whether you're coming with your best friend, your mother, your colleagues, or just treating yourself the vibe is welcoming, the food is comforting, and the atmosphere is everything a lazy Sunday should feel like.
Comforting favourites sit alongside more contemporary plates on the menu, with drinks to match. The rooftop setting adds a light, open feel to the whole experience lively enough to feel festive, but laid-back enough that you can actually slow down and savour the moment.
More than anything, it's about togetherness shared stories, joyful moments, and the kind of afternoon you'll want to repeat. Sector 144 has always had a warm, easy hospitality about it, and this Women's Day brunch feels like a natural extension of that.
Here are the details:
If you're looking for a genuinely good way to spend Women's Day in Bengaluru, this one's worth showing up for.

Suba Hotels Limited just made its third move in Ayodhya, and it's a big one. The hospitality group has opened a brand-new Click Collection Hotel in the holy city, adding to its two already-running properties, Quality Inn Rama and Click Hotel Narayana, Ayodhya.
The new hotel sits close to the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, which makes it a natural pick for pilgrims visiting the city. It's also a short distance from Hanuman Garhi Temple and the Saryu Ji Aarti site, two other spots that draw large crowds of devotees. Guests even get a complimentary shared drop service to the temple gate, which is a thoughtful touch for those travelling for religious purposes.
Talking about the launch, Managing Director Mansur Mehta shared, "The city's evolving hospitality landscape presents a unique opportunity for the company to make steady progress in this important temple town and pilgrimage destination. We see significant business potential here, and this expansion reflects our commitment to delivering quality service and warm hospitality. Our existing two properties in Ayodhya have been performing strongly, and, encouraged by this positive response, we decided to further strengthen our presence in the city."
The group's CEO, Mubeen Mehta, also pointed out that this isn't just about Ayodhya, it's part of a larger plan. "We have been consciously expanding our presence in religious destinations. We already have a strong footprint in Varanasi and Vindhyachal, both prominent pilgrimage centres. With rising demand in this segment, we see tremendous potential in further strengthening our presence across key pilgrimage destinations."
The hotel has 48 rooms spread across three categories, all designed to keep comfort and practicality in mind, especially for families and pilgrims who need a reliable place to rest. Rooms come equipped with air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a tea/coffee maker, minibar, LED smart TV, and an in-room safe, among other amenities.
For food, the hotel has Cinnamon, a vegetarian restaurant that serves a range of Indian dishes, keeping in mind the preferences of pilgrims visiting the city. The property also has modern banqueting facilities for group needs.
With Ayodhya growing fast as a pilgrimage and tourism hub, Suba Hotels seems well-placed to ride that wave and this third property adds another solid layer to their presence in the city.
