Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels, said he was delighted to introduce the first Avani hotel to the Australian market.

We have been keen to add an Avani hotel into our Australian portfolio for some time and have been scouting for a first-class location. We feel confident this property ticks all the boxes for travellers seeking the upscale, contemporary experience offered by our international Avani Hotels & Resorts, and we expect it will be extremely well received within the Australian market.”

We were fortunate to work with Kenneth Wagner from KPAT to develop our Oaks Toowoomba Hotel, which opened in 2020, so we are excited to watch that team bring Australia’s first Avani hotel concept to life in such an exceptional location,” added Rajakarier.

The developer of Avani Mooloolaba Beach, Kenneth Wagner of KPAT, saidKPAT values our relationship with Minor Hotels and we are looking forward to breaking ground in 2023 and beginning this journey together to deliver a unique product to the Australian market in one of Queensland’s most sought-after destinations.”
