International developer Kerzner is set to introduce Fiji’s first One and Only Resort and Private Homes through a strategic alliance with leading institutional investor, BSP Life.

Located on a 127-acre site in the Yasawa Islands, an archipelago in Western Fiji, the resort is slated to open in 2029 with Private Homes going on sale this November. “Fiji has long been a coveted addition to our global portfolio, and we’re thrilled to introduce this remarkable location to One and Only’s discerning guests,” said Kerzner Chief Executive Officer, Philippe Zuber. “Unlocking this destination aligns perfectly with our strategic growth in the Asia-Pacific region and reinforces our distinctive approach, continually elevating our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences, all while showcasing the warmth and hospitality of the Fijian spirit on a global stage.” Set on the shores of Nacula Island, 30 minutes from the international airport by sea plane, the resort will feature 40 guest rooms, suites and villas, six exceptional culinary experiences, and the brand’s Club One wellness centre, alongside an exclusive collection of 20 residences. The property is set to embody traditional Fijian craftsmanship alongside contemporary aesthetics and is intended to integrate seamlessly with its natural surroundings, prioritising ecological sensitivity and minimising environmental impact throughout construction. “Guided by shared principles of respectful development and a deep commitment to preserving Fiji’s ancestral legacy, we are thrilled to partner with BSP Life on this landmark project,” said Kerzner President of Real Estate, Juan Aguilar. “Inspired by the spirit of Fiji, the design, character, and experiences of the resort and Private Homes will be infused with the soul of the islands.” BSP Life Fiji Managing Director, Michael Nacola, described it as a “pivotal moment”. “Our investment portfolio has evolved significantly in the last decade, driven by disciplined, strategic partnerships, and partnering with Kerzner on this exciting venture ushers in a new era of collaboration between a renowned leading global hospitality brand and a prominent South Pacific institution,” Nacola said. “The benefits from this catalytic investment including job creation, skills development and growth in the tourism industry underscores our commitment to championing prosperity for the South Pacific. Kerzner’s arrival also elevates Fiji’s posture as a prime investment destination on the global stage. We thank them for choosing to invest in Fiji, and partner with BSP Life, and look forward to a rewarding partnership.” Kerzner and BSP Life expressed their appreciation to the traditional landowners of Nacula in Yasawa, and to the Fijian Government, for their trust and partnership.
