Cocktail bars, plunge pools, and designer dressing rooms that would even impress Carrie Bradshaw.
This is not your average over-50s resort.
Homeowners have started moving in to Palm Lake Resort in Pelican Waters — a sprawling new Sunshine Coast resort redefining over-50s living with an unprecedented standard of design and lifestyle amenities.

With a striking Palm Springs aesthetic, beautiful mid-century modern homes, and a prime position beside a Greg Norman-designed golf course, the resort is aimed at ‘rightsizers’, with prices ranging from around $1.5m to $4.5m for the top-of-the-range, double-storey homes.
The resort’s ‘Cimarron’ display home took out its category at Master Builders Queensland’s 2024 Sunshine Coast Housing and Construction Awards.

The largest of the resort’s home designs, ‘Cimarron’ features 497 sqm of living space with 3m ceilings, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room, a gourmet kitchen with integrated Smeg appliances and a scullery, a library, an outdoor terrace with the option for a plunge pool, a separate guest wing, and a massive master suite with a walk-in dressing room, ensuite, and separate lounge with a wet bar.

Palm Lake Resort General Manager, Sales, Alysia Nechvoglod said the resort would comprise around 330 homes, with about 60 homeowners already settled into the community.
“Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters is really coming to life with more than 30 residences now complete, a growing community of homeowners relishing their luxurious new lifestyle and their game-changing $42m community facility, The Springs Country Club, taking shape,” she said.

“This country club is a ‘game-changer’ for one main reason: No operator has been bold enough to present such an opulent, stylish and facility-laden lifestyle offering in Australian over-50s resort communities before now.”
At 11,200 sqm, The Springs Country Club will feature five exclusive precincts, with the first of these precincts, ‘Mirador’, expected to be completed by Christmas this year.

Mirador is the resort’s wellness precinct and will feature an exclusive Milon gymnasium, yoga and reformer Pilates studios, a heated indoor pool and spa, his and hers saunas, steam rooms, Vichy showers and a private locker room.
To tie the whole community and facilities together, Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters has developed its own app for homeownwers that includes keyless entry to their homes.

Construction began on the $500m-plus development in December 2022 with the Springs Country Club expected to be completed in 2025.
Palm Lake Group general manager of development, Suzanne Jensen, said around one-third of the civil works across the project were now complete, with the next stage delivering another 50 home sites now starting.
“This will be an exciting stage as it will deliver more golf-frontage home sites, taking in exquisite views of our adjacent Pelican Waters Golf Course,” she said.

“As someone who’s been involved in this project since the very beginning, it is so humbling to watch the drawings and plans come to life, to see homeowners move in, and a true community emerge here.”
