Escape

Wavi Island represents a remarkable opportunity in Fiji—a private, freehold island blending modern luxury with the unspoiled beauty of the South Pacific. Encompassing approximately 27 acres, the island sits just a few minutes’ drive from Savusavu Airport on Vanua Levu, Fiji’s largest northern island, and is conveniently connected to the mainland by a 0.27-mile (450-meter) bridge. This rare feature offers all the privacy of island living without the inconvenience of boat transfers, allowing seamless access to nearby amenities.

The island’s centerpiece, the Signature Villa, occupies one manicured acre overlooking the sparkling Koro Sea. Designed to complement its tropical surroundings, the residence offers over 3,000 sf of refined living space. Architectural highlights include a horizon-edge pool and wet-edge spa, a daybed pavilion, a barbecue gazebo, a three-vehicle garage, and covered walkways paved in teak stone. Inside, the villa’s open-plan layout centers around the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas with outdoor living spaces that frame panoramic ocean views. The primary suite features a spacious bathroom and dressing room that open directly to the patio and pool, while two additional bedrooms share a bath and enjoy similar access to the outdoors.

Beyond the Signature Villa, Wavi Island is thoughtfully planned to include 19 additional freehold oceanfront lots, each between 0.5 and 1 acre in size, offering scope for bespoke residences. The vision for the island includes up to 20 privately owned villas, supported by shared resort-style amenities such as a manager’s house, guest pool and bar, tennis court, and private marina. An opportunity for a lifestyle investment with potential income generation.

SAVUSAVU, FIJI. Known as the “hidden paradise of Fiji” and “Fiji’s best kept secret,” Savusavu is a picturesque, tropical paradise on the south coast of Vanua Levu Island, in the Fijian Province of Cakaudrove. The town of Savusavu is within a 1-hour flight from Nadi, where Fiji’s main international airport is located. There are several flights each day to Savusavu from Nadi.

Savusavu offers visitors and residents a wide range of activities and adventures, with an emphasis on enjoying its spectacular natural beauty. Activities include snorkeling, scuba diving (at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort), tennis, golf, sailing, yacht charters, hiking, swimming under waterfalls, and exploring the area’s rainforests.

A collection of upscale resorts, hotels, and private villas on Savusavu offer posh accommodations for global travelers, with amenities such as relaxing spas and fine dining. In fact, the quality of the hospitality in the area is such that visitors tend to stay here longer than any other destination in Fiji.

The locals in Savusavu are very friendly and are known for warmly engaging visitors. Various organized tours offer the opportunity to learn more about the local culture. One might have the opportunity to watch a meke (a Fijian dance), or to view the operations behind the main industries of Savusavu, such as sugar cane, timber, and copra (coconut).

FIJI, SOUTH PACIFIC. With impressive forest, mineral and marine resources, it is no wonder that Fiji has one of the most developed economies in the South Pacific. Urbanization and expansion in the service sector – thanks largely to an upswing in international tourism – have contributed to a steady rise in GDP since the early 2000s. Two international airports serve visitors, largely from Australia, New Zealand and the United States, and ferries, helicopters and sea planes make transfers from Viti Levu to the outer islands easy; certainly, there is plenty of natural beauty to enchant along the way.

Fiji has three types of land tenure – freehold, native and crown. Only freehold land can be purchased outright by foreign residents, and less than 8% of the property in Fiji is designated thusly. There is no timeframe on the ownership of freehold property, and it is regarded as the most secure land tenure in the republic. Once freehold land is purchased, owners can relax and enjoy one of the most wild and beautiful places on earth. The crystal-clear waters and amazing biodiversity on each island make a real estate purchase here the perfect opportunity to own a part of paradise.
