THE WORLD’S MOST EXQUISITE PRIVATE ISLAND RESORTS

Laucala Island, Fiji

An extraordinary paradise island in the South Pacific where dramatic rainforests are met by an expanse of white sandy beaches.  Twenty-five exquisitely designed Fijian villas combine style and sustainability nestled amid lush coconut plantations atop the island’s volcanic mountains or along side the coral reef sea.  Lose yourself in the 1,400 hectare archipelago or ponder over which of the five restaurants and bars you’d like to sample.  Enjoy the Med-inspired sharing plates at the Pool Bar overlooking the island’s tremendous 2,000 sq-m swimming pool.

Laze in the cool azure waters or get the adrenalin pumping.  Game fishing, windsurfing, kite-surfing, kayaking, jet-skiing, snorkeling or even tee-off on the championship, 18-hole golf course.   Laucala truly captivates.
