A strategic asset in Fiji’s luxury tourism heartland, Yanuya is fully entitled and ready for development. With a secured 99-year lease over 12.8 beachfront acres, approved rezoning, and endorsed concept plans, the project eliminates years of planning risk. Investors gain immediate access to Fiji’s highest-performing luxury zone, where occupancy rates exceed 80% and demand is driven by high-net-worth, experience-led travellers. Yanuya offers the rare combination of development certainty, location advantage, and brand-defining potential.
A Platform Ready for Visionaries
With 43 standalone villas, Yanuya delivers scale for operational excellence while preserving the exclusivity that today’s discerning travellers demand. The architectural concept, detailed renders, and infrastructure planning provide a head start, allowing investors, developers, or operators to bring their brand to life in one of the South Pacific’s most resilient markets.
Strategic Location
Yanuya is ideally located just 40 km from Port Denarau, with arrival options by luxury boat (45 minutes), helicopter (10 minutes), or seaplane (12 minutes). Perfectly positioned at the heart of a culturally rich and ecologically vibrant island cluster, Yanuya connects guests to a tapestry of experiences. Just across the turquoise channel lies Monuriki Island, an uninhabited jewel made famous by Cast Away and more recently featured in Survivor. Both islands are under the custodianship of the Yanuya villagers. Within minutes, guests can island-hop to secluded beaches, participate in marine conservation, or engage in authentic Fijian traditions. This proximity to iconic destinations like Malolo, Monu, and Monuriki elevates Yanuya beyond a resort—transforming it into a gateway to the Mamanucas’ most exclusive and meaningful adventures.
Geography
The development site benefits from natural elevation and reef protection, providing resilience and sweeping ocean views. The island’s orientation harnesses prevailing breezes, while its surrounding reef system supports rich marine biodiversity—ideal for snorkelling, diving, and water-based recreation. The designated development site was previously used as traditional farming land before being rezoned for tourism. This agricultural history, combined with the island’s fertile volcanic foundation, supports Yanuya’s regenerative design principles, enabling the future integration of organic farming, edible landscaping, and immersive guest experiences that are deeply rooted in the land.
