Fiji is set to enhance its luxury tourism offerings with the introduction of its first One&Only resort and private residences on Nacula Island in the Yasawas. This multi-million-dollar endeavor, led by Kerzner International in collaboration with BSP Life, marks a significant investment that reflects rising global confidence in Fiji’s growing economy and vibrant tourism sector.
Trade Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Manoa Kamikamica hailed the development as a substantial win for Fiji, signifying its readiness to host world-class projects. He highlighted its potential to generate employment, bolster investor confidence, and uplift Fiji’s status as a luxury travel destination.
Investment Fiji Chief Executive Kamal Chetty emphasized that the undertaking showcases international trust in Fiji’s economic stability and promising future. Beyond its implications for tourism, the project is expected to provide opportunities for local communities and foster sustainable development.
The One&Only Nacula Island is slated to feature 40 rooms, suites, and villas, six restaurants, a wellness center, and 20 exclusive private residences that blend Fijian culture with contemporary luxury. Kamikamica noted the investment’s potential to create jobs, extend local supply chains, and position Fiji as a hub for premium travel and investment.
This development dovetails with Fiji’s broader tourism expansion, paralleling the recent announcement of the forthcoming Ritz-Carlton Fiji at Namuka Bay, set to open in 2030. As the nation continues to invest in upscale hotel properties and infrastructure improvements, these efforts contribute to Fiji’s allure as a premier travel destination. Record-high visitor arrivals and the government’s proactive approach in offering incentives further underscore the economic benefits and the sector’s robust growth trajectory.
Fiji’s tourism and hospitality development not only gears up to meet the growing demand for luxury travel experiences but also aims to sustain long-term growth through strategic investments and partnerships. These advancements promise an exciting era for Fiji, enhancing its economic prospects while preserving its unique cultural and natural heritage.
