The Fiji government has welcomed plans by Kerzner International to develop a luxury One&Only resort and private residences on Nacula Island in the Yasawa Islands. The project, announced on September 11, 2025, is being developed in partnership with Fijian health insurer and institutional investor BSP Life.
Set across 127 acres of untouched land, the new property will feature a 40-key luxury hotel, 20 private residences, six dining venues, and the brand’s signature ClubOne wellness centre, offering immersive wellness and lifestyle experiences. The resort is scheduled to open in 2029 as part of Kerzner’s strategic expansion across the Asia-Pacific region.
Government Endorsement
Fiji’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Cooperatives, SMEs and Communications, Manoa Kamikamica, described the development as a “transformational moment” for the country’s tourism sector.
“This is a big win for Fiji,” Kamikamica said. “Having a global brand like Kerzner International choose to invest here shows clear trust in our economy and our future. The One&Only resort represents a major leap forward for tourism, creates jobs, builds investor confidence, and positions Fiji as a premier destination for luxury travel.”
A Vision of Wellness and Connection
Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner International, highlighted the emotional and wellness-driven vision behind the project:
“The One&Only Resort and private homes in Fiji will be a destination that restores, uplifts, and connects — a place where the rhythms of the land and sea inspire everything from al fresco living to immersive wellness experiences at our ClubOne. Fiji offers that rarest of gifts: space to breathe, to reflect, and to heal.”
Part of a Global Expansion
The Fiji development joins a strong pipeline of upcoming One&Only openings, including:
One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, US (opening 18 November 2025)
One&Only Half Moon Bay in Antigua, Caribbean (opening 2027)
One&Only Hudson Valley in New York, US (opening 2028)
With the Yasawa Islands resort, Fiji is set to become a new focal point for luxury travel and wellness tourism, blending natural beauty with world-class hospitality.
