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.

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.

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.
