Fiji has secured a landmark investment with Kerzner International Holdings Ltd announcing plans to develop the country’s first One&Only resort and private residences on Nacula Island in the Yasawa Islands.
The project, undertaken in partnership with BSP Life, was welcomed by the Ministry of Trade, Co-operatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Communications, together with Investment Fiji. Officials hailed the move as a transformational moment for the country’s tourism sector and broader economy.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Co-operatives, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, and Communications Manoa Kamikamica said the decision by Kerzner to enter Fiji underscored growing investor confidence.
“This is a big win for Fiji. Having a global brand like Kerzner International choose to invest here shows clear trust in our economy and our future. It’s a positive sign that Fiji is ready to welcome world-class developments as well as international projects. This development is key for the tourism sector and it also builds investor confidence and creates opportunities for more future investments that will help grow our economy,” Kamikamica said.
“The Ministry congratulates Kerzner International and BSP Life on this landmark announcement. The One&Only resort represents a major leap forward for Fiji’s tourism sector and signals strong investor confidence in our economy. This development will bring lasting benefits to our people, create new jobs, and position Fiji as a premier destination for luxury travel and investment,” he added.
Investment Fiji Chief Executive Officer Kamal Chetty said the project reflected the strength of Fiji’s investment environment.
“Kerzner’s investment in Fiji is a clear reflection of the trust global investors have in our economy, our people, and our future. This project goes beyond luxury tourism; it’s about creating jobs, empowering communities, and building a resilient and inclusive economy. Investment Fiji is proud to have played a key role in facilitating this development, and we remain committed to supporting strategic investments that drive sustainable growth,” Chetty said.
The development will feature 40 guest rooms, suites and villas, six dining concepts, and the Club One wellness centre. It will also introduce a community of One&Only Private Homes, with 20 exclusive residences combining luxury living with world-class amenities and service.
Designed to celebrate Fijian culture and natural beauty, the resort will prioritise sustainability and community engagement. Officials said it is expected to create new employment opportunities, stimulate local supply chains, and further strengthen Fiji’s position as a destination for high-value travellers.
The Ministry reaffirmed that Fiji remains open for investment, with the government committed to building a resilient, inclusive and prosperous future.
