Plans for the proposed redevelopment of the Ariel Sands property have been placed online.

The project will include 26 villas, along with a 20-room hotel building, two restaurants, a spa, gym, salon and children’s entertainment zone.

The villas will be a mix of two and three-bedroom self-contained apartments with facilities such as washer/dryers, bathrooms for each bed and kitchens. They will be available for sale to Bermudians and non-Bermudians, who can then rent them out through an international reservation and marketing group.

Celebrated actor Michael Douglas, whose family have owned the Devonshire property since the 1840s, formally announced the redevelopment project last year.

Last week, Mr Douglas told The Royal Gazette: “The plans have been refined substantially since we made our initial announcement and we have spent an exorbitant amount of time to get it right. Sometimes plans are submitted in part, but this is complete.”

The Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Scoping Report for the project have been made publicly available through the Department of Planning website.
