Construction has started on Palm Lake Resort’s latest offering, Caloundra Cay.

Located 90km north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast this retirement living development has been designed with the Caribbean in mind.

According to Palm Lake Resort regional sales manager Brittany Baldwin: “Think colonial plantation homes, British imperialism and island textures”.

The project will comprise 270 single and double-storey homes, with 13 different home designs, all named after island locations, using a mix of stone, heavy timber, rich leather and rattan.

Features will include the country club, designed in the style of the colonial West Indies, a swim-up pool bar and firepit, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tenpin bowling alley, cinema, tennis

courts, Milon gym, an eight-rink undercover lawn bowls green, library, arts and craft room, dance floor, virtual golf simulator and woodworking room.

The first residents will be welcomed in September 2018
