How would you like to live on your own pristine undeveloped, uninhabited island in the Mamanuca Island Group, the heart of Fiji’s premier tourism sector, 36 km to the west of Nadi in Fiji?
Now you can. For the right price of course, as Knight Frank New Zealand has been appointed to market the property for sale by Deadline Private Treaty, closing July 31, 2015.
Taking approximately 10 minutes by helicopter from Nadi Airport, Yadua Island comprises 10.9791 hectares of native leasehold island, with the highest point approximately 60 metres above sea level.
It is roughly circular in shape, with a surrounding coral reef encapsulating a marine protected reserve protecting sea life and the surrounding coral reef.
Located at the southern end of the island is a white sandy beach with uninterrupted views to the Mamanuca’s. At the top of the island rests the remains of a volcanic crater, rich in native bush and vegetation. There is consent to erect a jetty, and the surrounding reef area has a foreshore lease.
Yadua Island offers potential to develop into a boutique resort or a standalone residential development for private occupation. Plans are already in existence for over-water and island-based bures.
The overall Mamanuca and the Yasawa Islands are well-served by regular ferry services and also helicopter/fixed wing during daylight hours.
Rick Kermode, Resort Island Specialist at Knight Frank New Zealand, said: “This is an exceptional opportunity for individuals or developers. It is one of the very few islands left to purchase in the heart of Fiji’s main tourism sector.
“Surrounded by existing successful resorts and well serviced by regular ferry services, this island can be a private or exclusive residence or boutique resort. The island is also elevated with a solid rock core and base which will help resist rising oceans and storm damage in the future.
“A fantastic island in a superb location.”
Allen Beagley, National Director of Hotels at Knight Frank New Zealand, added: “This is a rare opportunity to purchase a pristine undeveloped island in close proximity to Nadi International Airport, and take advantage of strengthening tourism market in Fiji.”
A video of the island is available to watch.
