A $250M Luxury Expansion Is Coming To Sandstone Point Hotel

By Kiri Johnston | 8th August 2025

Frozen margs, infinity pools, and five-star suites — Sandstone Point Hotel is going next level. Already a cult-favourite for its waterfront concerts and beachy energy, the venue has announced a $250 million luxury expansion that’s set to transform Moreton Bay into Queensland’s next resort hotspot. Just in time for Brisbane 2032, the upgrade will bring a five-star hotel, new dining precinct, and event spaces with serious destination appeal.

So, what’s actually coming?

Resort-style living meets all-day entertainment.

The expansion includes a 10-storey five-star hotel, complete with 202 suites (including one-, two-, and three-bedroom options), all with sweeping views of the Pumicestone Passage. Expect laidback luxury with a side of Mediterranean sun.

Here’s a taste of what’s planned:

  • An infinity pool overlooking the water

  • An adults-only pool with a DJ and swim-up bar

  • Dedicated family zones and splash-friendly spaces

  • A full wellness centre, spa, and gym

  • Chic new restaurants and bars

  • Bowling alleys and indoor fun

  • A retail and tourism precinct

  • Luxe event spaces for weddings, retreats + long lunches

Weekend away, girls trip, long lunch or wedding? This place ticks every box.

Why it matters

Aside from being extremely our vibe, this development is a big win for Queensland tourism.

Once complete, it’s expected to:

  • Create almost 1,000 jobs

  • Attract over 117,000 overnight stays a year

  • Inject $143M annually into the local economy

And with the 2032 Olympics fast approaching, the timing couldn’t be better. South-East Queensland currently has far fewer hotel rooms than other major global cities — this expansion is all about future-proofing the region with world-class stays and seriously elevated experiences.

Wasn’t it already a good time?

Yes. And it still is. But it’s about to be better.

Sandstone Point Hotel already has the bones of a cult-favourite venue: a seafood restaurant, multiple bars, Mozzarella Mafia (their new alfresco pizzeria), and the Oyster Shed Beach Club — a waterfront hangout with daybeds, margs, and an ice cream bar.

It’s also a go-to for live music, with a 12,000-person amphitheatre that’s hosted everyone from The Veronicas to Jimmy Barnes. With upgraded concert facilities, better transport access, and expanded parking part of the new plans, it’s gearing up to become an even bigger destination for events and good times.

When’s it happening?

The development application is expected to be lodged with council in the coming weeks, with construction tipped to take around two years. If all goes to plan, the new hotel will open ahead of the 2032 Olympics.

The Comiskey Group — the hospitality team behind the project — is also seeking eco-tourism partners to help make the resort even more sustainable, and in talks with global brands to bring the vision to life.

To sum it all up

  • Five-star hotel coming to Sandstone Point

  • 202 luxe rooms, infinity pools, and new dining precincts

  • Big concerts, beach hangs, and wedding-worthy views

  • $250 million investment for the Moreton Bay region

  • Opening before Brisbane 2032
