Local Airlie Beach Resort Managers of Azure Sea Whitsunday Resort NAMED BEST IN AUSTRALIA

Stuart and Nicole Morris, the managers of Azure Sea Whitsunday Resort, have been named ‘Resident Managers of the Year, Short Stay’ 2024 at the Australian Resident Managers Association (ARAMA) Awards. This distinguished award highlights their exceptional management of one of Australia’s top holiday resorts.
Stuart and Nicole had only been managing the resort for one and a half years after relocating to the region from the Gold Coast, where they operated a business at Pacific Fair as Retailers in paramedical aesthetics and skin care. When they arrived at the resort there were a lot of maintenance issues to address – the two swimming pools were falling apart, and there were glass shards that had to be picked out.
“We conducted a refurbishment of 255,000 litre pools and a spa in six weeks, (according to trades who completed the work) it should take three months!” Stuart stated.
Despite the initial setbacks, Stuart and Nicole managed to maintain strong performance by offering a reduced accommodation rate due to the absence of a pool over that period.
This is just a small example of the quick-thinking and business acumen which has led them to receiving the recognition among their peers at the prestigious awards.
Stuart and Nicole stated that what sets them apart from the rest is that they are, “conscientious individuals,” with a “desire to make a difference.”
The judges of the award stated that whilst it was very difficult to select a winner out of the exceptional candidates, this year's winners (Stuart and Nicole) tick all the boxes.
“They have greatly improved the resort’s facilities from personal efforts, won the appreciation and respect of unit owners... particularly the (Body Corporate) committee members, (and) been integral to the body corporate management.”
“They are a great example of what fresh talent and hard work can produce in this industry.”
Thanks to the vision and expertise of Stuart and Nicole, Azure Sea Whitsunday Resort has blossomed into a beautiful retreat set amidst the lush rainforest of Airlie Beach.
The 30 fully equipped apartments offer breathtaking, panoramic views of the Coral Sea and Hayman Island, providing an unparalleled escape into paradise.
The resort has lift access, secure undercover parking, unlimited Wi-Fi, and a new infinity-edge waterfall swimming pool. Azure is also just a short stroll from the beach, main street shopping and an array of fantastic restaurants.
The dedicated onsite management team is committed to creating a warm and welcoming community experience for all of Azure’s guests.
Nicole mentioned that the resort’s welcome letter features the phrase, "There are no strangers, only friends you haven't met yet,” capturing the warm and inviting atmosphere the resort aims to provide.
Azure Sea is excited to extend a warm invitation to all future guests for an unforgettable stay. You won't want to miss out on the recently refurbished infinity pools, breathtaking views, and enhanced landscapes. The resort's award-winning hosts, Stuart and Nicole, can't wait to welcome you.
