Bayleys' Fiji agent Philip Toogood has been appointed to market the luxurious adults-only retreat, The Seabreeze Resort Samoa, for sale.
This exclusive property, crafted by its current owners Chris and Wendy Booth, features 12 luxury villas, managers' quarters, an infinity edge pool and bar, and an overwater restaurant.
Having operated the resort since 2006, Chris and Wendy, now in their 70s, are looking to sell 100% of their shares in the business.
Excluding the COVID-19 years, the resort has maintained an impressive occupancy rate of over 75% annually, generating an EBITDA of approximately AUD$1 million each year.
Mr. Toogood highlighted that Seabreeze Resort Samoa has been honoured with the prestigious World Travel Awards, winning Samoa’s Leading Hotel for an impressive ten consecutive years (2013–2023) and Oceania’s Most Romantic Resort for five years in a row (2019–2023). The resort's excellence doesn't stop there, as it has also garnered multiple TripAdvisor accolades, including the coveted Travellers' Choice Award for Oceania and the Certificate of Excellence for its renowned restaurant 5 years in a row.
The resort's amenities are second to none. The waterfront bar and restaurant have a seating capacity for 56 customers and were completely refitted in 2022 with a state-of-the-art kitchen and cold storage. The renowned "Cbreeza" traditionally built wood fire Pizzeria is situated in a small garden enclave, with a cliff backdrop and provides the perfect setting for a lunch to remember. The infinity edge pool, with a capacity of 150,000 litres, was resurfaced in 2022 and includes all-new pool furniture. "Paulini’s" poolside bar and water sports facility centre, equipped with kayaks and snorkelling gear, provide guests with direct beach access.
Additional facilities include a maintenance workshop and store, a 100kVA generator for backup power, two 35,000-litre fresh water tanks, and two Hyundai 9-seater guest transport vehicles purchased new in 2023. The resort is surrounded by extensive tropical gardens, paths, and night lights, enhancing its tranquil and picturesque environment.
Located in the heart of the South Pacific, northeast of Fiji and Tonga, Samoa offers a warm tropical climate, stunning scenery, and a rich culture.
The country is accessible via a 5-hour flight from Australia, a 3.5-hour flight from New Zealand, or through connections from Fiji, American Samoa, or Honolulu. Seabreeze Resort itself is situated on the beautiful southern coastline of Upolu Island, in the district of Aleipata and the village of Aufaga, just a 1.5-hour drive from Faleolo Airport and a 1-hour drive from Apia.
Seabreeze Resort represents a unique investment opportunity in an idyllic location, with established success and ample potential for growth.
The property is for sale via Tender closing 4pm, 30th August, 2024 at Bayleys Fiji (Unless Sold Prior).
