Mandala Hotels & Resorts is proud to introduce Mandala Signature, a new independent brand designed to deliver personalised boutique experiences for travellers exploring regional Australia.
Fittingly, the brand begins where the Mandala story first started.
The debut property, Mandala Signature Berry, marks the complete transformation of the original Berry Village Boutique Motel, the very first property in the Mandala journey. Now reimagined through an extensive renovation, the hotel has been reborn as the flagship for Mandala’s premium Signature brand.
This launch represents both a return to Mandala’s origins and a step forward into a new chapter for the group.
A New Boutique Brand for Regional Australia
Regional travel across Australia has evolved significantly in recent years. Travellers are increasingly seeking accommodation that offers more than a place to stay. They want thoughtful design, personalised service, and authentic experiences connected to the destination.
Mandala Signature was created to meet this demand.
Gemma McCourt, Commercial Performance Officer at Mandala Hotels & Resorts, explains that the new brand reflects the changing expectations of modern regional travellers.
“As regional Australia continues to attract guests seeking authentic and design-led experiences, we saw a clear opportunity to introduce a boutique brand that delivers sophistication while remaining accessible,” she said.
“Mandala Signature has been purposefully created to offer personalised hospitality, beautiful design, and meaningful guest experiences in some of Australia’s most loved regional destinations.”
Why Berry?
Berry holds a special place in Mandala’s story.
As the first property in the Mandala portfolio, the Berry site represents the foundation on which the company has grown. Transforming the property into the flagship Mandala Signature hotel reflects how far the business has come while staying connected to its roots.
“Berry is where Mandala began,” McCourt said.
“It felt fitting that this destination becomes the birthplace of our Signature brand. The transformation of this property mirrors the evolution of our business, from a single regional asset to a national portfolio with a clear vision for boutique, service-led hospitality.”
