Having secured planning consent in Spring 2017, plans for a luxury hotel complex on the landmark, six acre Drakes Island in Plymouth Sound were unveiled at a press conference event in November 2017. The proposals to develop the island, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, were put forward by owners Rotolok Holdings.

Named after Plymouth’s most famous patron and situated in the heart of Plymouth Sound, the project offers a tremendous opportunity for the island to become a flagship for the regeneration of Plymouth waterfront.
