September 16, 2026 | 3 Comments

A planning application has been submitted for the redevelopment of the former Ariel Sands Hotel site, with the plans consisting of 33 hotel guest rooms, 21 villas, and 30 condominium units.

The application states, “Proposed re‑development of the former Ariel Sands Hotel site for a hotel‑villa‑condo development consisting of 84 keys in 33 hotel guest rooms, 21 villas, and 30 one, two and three bed condominium units, including restaurant and bar with dining terrace, pool, seawall, tennis court, landscaping and supporting works and infrastructure.”

A letter, dated June 2026, submitted in support of the application stated, “The former hotel and cottage colony closed in 2008, and it was subsequently demolished in 2015. Within the same year, an application was submitted and approved for the redevelopment of the site, which remains in place [P0161/15]. The subject property was sold, and Ariel Sands Ltd. and a planning application [P0327-21] for a proposed 6’-0” seawall had been approved.

“This DAP1 application is to re-develop the 10.85 [developable area] acre site with a new hotel/villa/condo mix, consisting of privately owned units spread throughout the site, which will be part of the hotel keys in a resort-style living development comprised of:

33 guest rooms in the main hotel [four-storey].
21 villas [6 x two bedroom [one storey]; 12 x two bedroom [two storey] and 3 x four bedroom [2 storey]].
30 condominium units [8 x three bedroom, 14 x two bedroom and 8 x one bedroom] which is a five storey structure.

“Much of the proposed development will be similar in its built form as to what previously existed across the site, which was the arrangement of cottages in one-storey structures, as well as rooms and amenities in a larger two storey structure.”
