The Salthouse hotel in Ballycastle is creating 30 new jobs as part of a £3.5m investment in an expansion.
The money will be invested in a new, more casual restaurant and 24 new eco-cottages to add to the existing site's facilities.
The sustainable hotel, which launched in 2019, currently offers 24 bedrooms, six eco lodges, a spa and a restaurant.

Planning has been approved for the new 110 seater restaurant, while the 24 eco-cottages will offer 32 bedrooms in total.
Work is expected to be completed in time for both the restaurant and cottages to open by early next year.
The Salthouse has set out sustainability as one of its key objectives, with onsite solar panels and a wind turbine powering the hotel and cottages, while the water is derived from the site's own borehole.
Director Carl McGarrity says the new expansion will be no different in that regard.
“Carbon neutral is a term that is being used more and more, by consumers and businesses alike," he said.
"Our customers want it, they expect high environmental ethics from service providers and due to that demand, we have chosen to expand to meet their needs.
“Our new eco cottages and restaurant will elevate our offering and provide more choice for the ethically minded traveller, but it will also ensure we are loyal to our sustainability theme, all whilst offering the best of service, quality and the most stunning views that stretch across the Atlantic.
“A major recruitment drive is underway ahead of the expansion and we look forward to launching to the public next year.”
