AFTER 20 years of “laughter, creativity and unforgettable moments”, much-loved boutique hotel The Atlantic Byron Bay will close its doors this winter.<\/p>\n

Owners Kimberly Amos and Stephen Eakin shared the bittersweet news in an Instagram post, saying it was time for them to focus on new adventures as their family grows and evolves.<\/p>\n

“This hasn’t been an easy choice as this place has been more than a hotel \u2014 it’s been a haven for connection, relaxation and joy,” they said.<\/p>\n

“The Atlantic has been our life’s work, a dream brought to life through artist residencies, surf festivals, exhibitions and countless shared fireside stories.<\/p>\n

“After two decades of looking after everyone else, we feel it’s important to take some time to explore our own passions and interests.”<\/p>\n

Originally from Sydney, the couple decided to move to Byron Bay to provide a better lifestyle for their three sons.<\/p>\n

They bought the rundown backpackers hostel in Marvell St, which has previously served as the clubhouse for the bowling club across the road, in 2005 and set about restoring the property’s four original cottages.<\/p>\n

The design was inspired by their favourite holiday destinations, including Hawaii, the Hamptons and the Bahamas, as well as Byron Bay.<\/p>\n

They have endured several floods over the years, including in 2022, which led to another major renovation before the hotel reopened the following year.<\/p>\n

Known for its laidback luxury, the hotel has 20 rooms and a magnesium pool, with an electric moke jeep to ferry guests around town.<\/p>\n

The couple now plan to move back into one of the cottages, Little Palm, where they raised their family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
