An Island Unto Itself

Connected to the mainland by a short bridge, the resort creates a distinct sense of escape while remaining accessible. What makes this hotel truly exceptional is its 360-degree ocean views, providing guests with an immersive maritime experience rarely found even among seaside resorts.
A Different Kind of Wellness Destination

Recognizing this, the resort offers a comprehensive range of hotel-operated marine activities that take full advantage of the surrounding sea.

Andy Lee and Rebecca Harding spotted jetting into Melbourne after New York trip...as the comedian goes straight back to 'work' on mammoth mansion project
Andy Lee cut a casual figure on Saturday, when he was spotted with partner Rebecca Harding, jetting into Melbourne after a New York jaunt. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates. With Andy at the helm of the venture, it is backed by an owner's group that includes the likes of Hamish Blake, tennis star Ash Barty, surfing legend Mick Fanning, Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman. Andy was dressed for on the long haul flight, wearing a pair of loose-fitting navy blue tracksuit pants. He also wore a crisp, white long sleeve polo shirt, and a pair of well-worn white sneakers. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Finishing his flight ensemble, the Hundred host wore a brown and white Cherry LA trucker cap. Rebecca, meanwhile was similarly attired in a pair of grey track suit pants and a white top that she wore under a thigh-length coat. Wearing a black headband to keep her locks of her face, Rebecca was also spotted wheeling a silver suitcase and hand luggage. Andy, meanwhile appeared more interested in his phone, smiling as he scrolled and walked. He did not let jet lag get to him either, getting back on the tools at his ambitious Melbourne mansion renovation. He shared a photo to Instagram on Saturday afternoon that showed him happily posing with construction crew at the build site. While the workers, who appeared to have been rendering a cement wall looked suitably dirty, Andy, who offered a heart thumbs up, was conspicuously spotless. 'Me and the boys got the walls done in a day. I certainly don't want to take all the credit, it was a team effort,' he captioned the image. The funnyman, 43, and Rebecca, 35, were in the Big Apple to pay a visit to Andy's Aussie-themed Manhattan pub, Old Mates His followers were quick to flood the comments with suggestions that Andy was only there for the 'photo op.' 'Good to see the shoes are nice and dirty,' one offered, commenting on Andy's pristine footwear. Another chimed in with a cheeky: 'Andy rocking up just in time for smoko.' Hopefully they kept the noise down as Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed, earlier this month, that some neighbours are less-than-enamoured with the protracted build. 'It's noisy. It's been noisy... It's frustrating because it's been going for a year and we've still got a couple more years to go,' one disgruntled person said. Though they went on to add the 'earthworks' was the noisiest portion of the build, the neighbour said nowadays it has 'actually settled down quite a bit'. Andy and Rebecca have grand plans for their Italianate manor, with the planned renovation worth an estimated $5million having begun in 2023. The comedian has been hard at work on the derelict Melbourne mansion, called Ravenswood, he bought for $8.5million in 2021, in a Block-style rebuild. The couple won council approval for their development application back in June 2023. Plans for the site include adding a second building which will be connected by a tunnel to the original Italianate mansion, which was built around 1876. Other highlights planned for the 1,950 square metre holding include a home theatre, a gym, a swimming pool and a 'mega bedroom'. In a statement to the Herald Sun, Boroondara Council confirmed it had issued a notice of decision to grant a planning permit for the Yarra Grove address. One neighbour told the Sydney Morning Herald in December the construction cacophony had caused the couple to lose 'a lot of community goodwill'. 'The noise is just horrendous,' the disgruntled neighbour told the publication.

Winning horse dies in Epsom tragedy as Kia Joorabchian suffers heartbreak
The Derby meeting got off to a heartbreaking start for football agent Kia Joorabchian when his winning two-year-old horse Norman's Cay suffered a fatal injury. Amo Racing, known for their big spending in racing, will bid for Derby glory on Saturday when 66-1 chance Tuscan Hill lines up in the £1.5million Epsom Classic. Joorabchian narrowly missed out on winning the race two years ago when King Of Steel claimed second place, and in 2021 when Mojo Star also finished as the runner-up. Norman's Cay had delivered a statement victory for Joorabchian's Amo Racing team in March by winning the Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster, marking the first two-year-old race of the British Flat Turf season. The promising colt lined up on Friday for the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom, starting as an 11-1 chance with Amo's jockey David Egan aboard. His trainer, Richard Hannon, had been confident that he would run well beforehand, writing in his Unibet blog post: 'We deliberately decided to give him a break after winning the Brocklesby to allow him time to grow and fill out, and he has done really well. 'We were looking at going to Sandown last week, but it was plenty dry enough, and there's a bit of rain forecast on Friday, which we feel will help because he won at Doncaster on Good to Soft. We've won this race with some nice horses down the years, and hopefully this lad is up to that standard, at least.' Unfortunately, the race did not unfold as hoped for Norman's Cay. He was hampered early on in the race and, after recovering for a comeback with two furlongs left, tragically went wrong one furlong from the finish. He was taken to a horse ambulance and removed from the track for further assessment by vets, who discovered he had suffered a severe injury. An Epsom Downs Racecourse spokesperson said: 'Having sustained an injury in the closing stages of the second race on Ladies Day, Norman's Cay was taken back to the racecourse stables for further assessment by our expert veterinary team. 'In their assessment, it was concluded that the best course of action for the horse's welfare was for him to be humanely euthanised. Our heartfelt condolences are with Richard Hannon, his team and all at Amo Racing.' Amo Racing analyst Charlie Sutton shared his own tribute and commented: 'Very sad to lose Norman's Cay at Epsom today. He was very well cared for at Richard Hannon's during his short career and again by the vets at the track. Can talk about what a nice horse he could've been for the team but ability is irrelevant in these circumstances really.'
