luxe new resort set to transform Port Stephens

A new, high-end accommodation offering is coming to Port Stephens.

Port Stephens is a popular holiday destination for many reasons: clear blue ocean, pristine beaches and family fun. Then add the largest moving coastal dunes in the southern hemisphere and dolphin and whale spotting during the season, and it might just be the perfect getaway. At least, it will be from August, when the new, luxurious, boutique-style Marina Resort opens in Nelson Bay.

“We’re thrilled to be opening our doors this August and can’t wait to welcome our first guests,” says Alex Moulis, director of development at DOMA Hotels, who owns the property. “Marina Resort is a fresh, elevated addition to the Port Stephens accommodation scene, offering the perfect base to explore the beauty and lifestyle of this incredible region.”

Whether you’re after a family escape or a romantic sojourn, Marina Resort’s 48 guest rooms can accommodate it. Guests can choose from ocean-view rooms, spacious suites and interconnecting options.

Designed to reflect a reimagining of the classic coastal retreat, both inside and outside the rooms, you can expect a bright, earthy palette, rich textures (think marble, stone, linen and natural woods) and sleek features.

Upon leaving your room, find a 25-metre resort-style pool (complete with luxurious cabanas and poolside lounges) to unwind in. Those looking for more will enjoy Marina Resort’s location in the heart of the bay. Take a short stroll to Port Stephens’ best restaurants, cafes, and waterfront attractions.

The resort is now accepting bookings ahead of its official launch.
