Wakaya Island

The 2,200-acre Wakaya Island is privately owned and home to the all-inclusive luxury Wakaya Club & Spa, a sumptuous, secluded getaway in pristine settings, and is part of the Lomaiviti Group of islands, due east of Viti Levu.

Celebrities such as Keith Richards frequent these beaches, where they stay in big air-conditioned villas strung along a strip of white sand beach surrounded by turquoise waters and coral reefs. Natural materials like woven bamboo, tropical hardwoods, and lava rock are used everywhere, along with opulent Italian linens, Tibetan rugs, high-speed Internet, enormous soaking tubs, and private gardens.

Scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking are among the water sports available, while land-based activities include anything from nature walks and nine-hole golf to tennis, croquet, private picnics, and tours of the organic gardens and orchidarium.
