The 136-hectare property was previously bought by Chinese tycoon William Han's White Horse Group for $12million in 2012 after the island's French-owned Club Med closed earlier the same year, according to the Australian Financial Review ...


The new owners also have not yet revealed their plans for the abandoned resort but it's believed they will takeover White Horse Group's proposed renovation.


The $583million plan was submitted to the Queensland Government for approval in 2015 and was expected to generate 300 construction jobs and 300 jobs within the new resort.


White Horse's proposal included a five-star beach resort, six-star spa resort, a five-star eco resort and a four-star tourist villa with facilities including a bar, nightclub, shops, airstrip, golf course and restaurants. The plan is currently listed as approved with conditions on the government's website.
