This milestone One&Only pipeline development reflects Fiji’s rising prominence as a destination for international investment, made possible through a strategic alliance between Kerzner and BSP Life. The collaboration unites Kerzner’s global expertise in creating world-class destinations with the BSP Group’s strong commitment to fostering economic growth across the South Pacific.

“Fiji has long been a coveted addition to our global portfolio, and we’re thrilled to introduce this remarkable location to One&Only’s discerning guests,” said Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer of Kerzner. “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.”

The resort is set on the shores of a stunning beach on Nacula Island, within the Yasawa Islands archipelago. The 127-acre site orchestrates the most beautiful sunsets framed by lush tropical flora, pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. A secluded island sanctuary, the resort will offer a blend of unparalleled natural beauty and vibrant culture paired with One&Only’s renowned ultra-luxury hospitality.

“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 Juan Aguilar, President of Real Estate at Kerzner. “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.”

The architectural design of the resort will integrate seamlessly with its natural surroundings, prioritising ecological sensitivity and minimising environmental impact throughout its development. The resort will embody the essence of traditional Fijian craftsmanship converged in perfect harmony with contemporary aesthetics through timeless design, breathtaking vistas and al fresco living.

One&Only’s arrival brings a new tier of luxury to the Pacific, further strengthening Fiji’s position as a destination for high-value travellers. The property will include 40 guest rooms, suites and villas, six exceptional culinary experiences, and the brand’s Club One wellness centre. In addition, the resort will introduce a community of One&Only Private Homes in Fiji. An exclusive collection of 20 residences will combine the elevated comforts of home with the brand’s unrivalled amenities and service.

The upcoming project in Fiji joins several highly-anticipated openings for One&Only, including One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, United States (opening November 2025), along with resorts and Private Homes in Half Moon Bay (Antigua) and Hudson Valley, New York (USA).
