Emirates Airline had started work on the US$69 million Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa in Australia’s Blue Mountains.
It said the project would see the transformation of 4,000 acres of distressed farming land into a high-value conservation site.
Slated to open late 2009, it’s Emirates’ first resort project outside of Dubai.
Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa is the second conservation-focussed property within the expanding portfolio of Emirates Hotels & Resorts – the hospitality division of the airline.
Two percent of the 4,000 acres will be used to create an exclusive resort of 40 free-standing suites and a main homestead that will feature fine dining, a spa, pool area and conference facilities.
The remaining land will be progressively restored to its natural state with the reintroduction of native fauna and flora
Environmental considerations feature prominently in the plan for the resort including 100 per cent water recycling, green power and a strict waste management system.
