Byron welcomes new beachfront property

Byron welcomes new beachfront property

After years of planning and an investment of $100 million dollars, Byron Bay has officially welcomed beachfront resort Elements of Byron to its accommodation offering.

The resort, which is located on 50 acres with nearly two kilometres of frontage onto Byron’s Belongil Beach, is the latest addition to Accor’s MGallery Collection.

Simon McGrath, chief operating officer of Accor Hotels, highlighted the hotel’s “unsurpassed beachfront locale” as a major drawcard.

Currently the resort features 94 villas, with a further 96 to be built in stage 2 of development. The villas have been designed to mirror the four landscape ecologies present on the site: rainforest, dunal, eucalypt and wetland.

General manager Leon Pink said: “Being privately owned by a couple who are passionate about the site, let alone the resort crafted within it, helps a lot.

“Nothing was compromised. I’ve never really experienced another similar situation.”

The resort includes Graze at Elements, the first restaurant at the resort, a lobby bar, poolside bar and kiosk, gymnasium and five-suite garden spa. Signature dining experience, Mixed Dozen Restaurant, and a beach club will open over the next few months. Also scheduled to launch mid-year is a fully refurbished 100-seat two carriage heritage train which will run between the resort and the Byron Bay township, a journey of 3km.

Elements of Byron also offers state of the art conferencing facilities, catering up to 450 delegates.
