Vatuvara Private Islands Resort measures 800 acres and has three luxury seaside villas that range from 4,000 sq ft to 7,000 sq ft, according to Vladi Private Islands, an international real estate agency that holds the property sales listing. Each villa features one bedroom and all the usual suspects you’d find in a luxury property, including a heated infinity pool, private beach access, indoor and outdoor showers and a bure, or Fijian traditional cabin, which functions as a spa.
Amenities include an all-weather airstrip and a golf course and features that come with the sale include a twin otter aircraft, a plane that is designed for remote environments. The resort is powered by solar energy and follows organic standards.
