the vision
Yanuya has been master-planned as a place where luxury lives lightly. Every design element is guided by a philosophy of simplicity, sustainability, and soul, striking a balance between refined comfort and raw beauty. The Yanuya concept redefines what it means to build in the South Pacific. Here, architecture doesn’t dominate, it responds. Guest experience doesn’t follow trends, it follows the land.
Accommodation
Yanuya offers 43 luxury residences, each with its own plunge pool, designed to immerse guests in privacy, comfort, and the island’s natural beauty. Along the white-sand beachfront, 30 premium bures feature direct access to turquoise waters, private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and expansive decks. Suspended above the water, 11 overwater bures offer glass floor panels and uninterrupted lagoon views. The Presidential Overwater Bure crowns the experience with generous living spaces and panoramic sunrise-to-sunset vistas. For elevated seclusion, the Presidential Hillside Suite offers commanding ocean views and ultimate privacy within the island’s natural contours.
Concept Masterplan
The central facility anchors the resort with a blend of high-value amenities, including destination dining choices, a bar, lounge, wellness centre, and reception. Timber walkways extend from this hub into the landscape, connecting private guest sanctuaries while maintaining harmony with the island’s natural contours. Thoughtfully zoned, the masterplan balances exclusivity with connection, orchestrating arrival, quiet zones, dining, and leisure to preserve seclusion and effortless movement. Integrated infrastructure; renewable energy, water management, and discreet service routes ensure operational resilience and ESG alignment.

Stewardship
In Fiji, vanua transcends the Western concept of "land." It embodies a living system where environment, ancestry, and community are interwoven across generations. Yanuya Island has deep cultural resonance. Guided by traditional governance and shaped by community voices, it presents something increasingly rare in resort development—authenticity that cannot be manufactured. This is not an outsider vision imposed upon Fijian soil, but rather a shared commitment forged between developer and villagers through years of relationship-building and mutual respect.
