Overview

A private island refuge in the South Pacific, Laucala unites dramatic rainforest-laced landscapes and white sandy beaches with unparalleled levels of luxury and privacy.

No expense has been spared at the exclusive tropical hideaway, where 25 Fijian-styled villas are set amid coconut plantations, beside deserted beaches and atop the island's volcanic mountains, overlooking fertile coral reefs and endless jungle.

Style and sustainability go hand in hand throughout, from the natural fibres and woods used in design to the wild orchids harvested in gardens and organic produce grown on island farms.
Set over 1,400 hectares, Laucala epitomises the seclusion and graceful hospitality for which the Fijian archipelago is famed.

Accommodation

A private island resort, Laucala Island is set midst coconut plantations, sandy beaches, turquoise lagoons, rich green mountains and breathtaking natural beauty, often drawing comparisons as a veritable paradise on earth. True luxury is appreciated in the privacy of the resort's 25 villas as well as the freedom to experience a variety of activities, ranging from golf to water sports, beachside horseback riding to tennis and more.

The resort prides itself on an integral self-sustaining philosophy; incorporating elements of the entire island into each guest's experience and offering products and ingredients raised and grown on the island.

The resort's 25 villas are comprised of one, two and three bedroom configurations, and each features its own pool, lush tropical garden and spacious indoor and outdoor areas. Each villa comes with all food & beverage services included, chauffeur, nanny, housekeeping, laundry & dry cleaning and both welcome and farewell gifts.

Villas come with a buggy, so guests are free to explore the resort at their leisure.

Peninsula Villa
Is a luxurious mansion that resembles an "island on an island" surrounded by opulent green hills, a white beach, the dazzling waters of the South Pacific and plenty of space for privacy. The villa's spacious living areas are connected by wooden bridges that offer spectacular views from every angle. The private pool, concealed beach and jetty guarantee undisturbed privacy, the marker of the genuine luxury of Iaucala Island.

Overwater Villas
As the epitome of paradise, elevating the resort to a work of marine art. This two-bedroom villa appears to float above the emerald-green lagoon, allowing guests to reside in luxury over an omnipresent ocean whether relaxing on the spacious terrace, bathing in the hot tub, or swimming in the only private saltwater pool which is carved directly into the rocks of the shore.

Hilltop Villa
Is likened to a "resort within a resort," situated atop the high green hills of the island, shining as the crowning gem of Laucala. The captivating views, unique atmosphere, and unusually designed main villa with its own panoramic view, landscaped garden and two spacious guest villas all work together to form one oversized private "estate" on the hilltop. The main villa features a master bedroom, lounge, dining room, library, outdoor pavilions and lap pool, and two one-bedroom guest villas feature one separate pool and private kitchen area.

Pool

The Epic Pool
The massive lagoon-style pool that sits at the heart of the resort is a masterpiece. Divided into three areas, the pool includes tropical manmade islands as well as Laucala's iconic 25-metre-long glass cube. The swim-up-bar serves all day cocktails, my favourite being freshly made chili Margaritas!

Location

Spanning 12 square kilometres, Laucala is one of three small islands off the northeast coast of Taveuni in Fiji. Hemmed by lagoons and coral reefs in the South Pacific, Laucala offers all the exclusivity of a private island resort but is within easy reach of international hubs thanks to regular flights to Fiji from Australia, Hong Kong, Korea, New-Zealand and the United States.

Activities

Laucala's diversions range from relaxing to adventurous. A wide variety of watersports introduce guests to Fiji's azure oceans, while rainforest walking tours, golf, farm visits and horseback riding are exhilarating ways to explore the island.

The island's Water Sports Centre is home to a fleet of 14 boats, including the Riviera Open Flybridge for game fishing as well as Dragon sailboats and traditional Fijian outriggers, ideal for sunset cruises or archipelago discovery.

From here, windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking and jet-skis are also available. Arguably the best way to explore Fiji's marine offerings is by taking the plunge, and Laucala offers snorkelling equipment and PADI certified Dive Centre to get guests up close and personal with hawksbill turtles and angelfish.

When it comes to experiencing Laucala's beaches, plantations and hinterland, guests have access to eight immaculately groomed Fijian horses. Guided walking tours also lead guests to far-flung corners of the island, with arranged visits to a Cultural Village detailing Fijian arts, crafts and traditions, as well as Laucala's organic farms and gardens.

Golf
Scotsman David McLay Kidd was called in to design Laucala's championship golf course, a stunning 18-hole layout backdropped by volcanic mountains and clinging to a sheer cliff dropping into the Pacific Ocean.

Kidd's par-72 layout has been thoughtfully integrated into the environment, with minimal impact on the island's old coconut plantation area. Undulating fairways, challenging greens and strategic bunkers will appeal to both experienced and novice golfers, while signature holes include the par-five 12th with a green extending to the beach, which means wet feet at high tide.

A golfing professional is on hand should guests need tips to improve their swing, and caddies, buggies and clubs are all available in the Club House.

Additional Notes

Dining

A collection of five restaurants and bars offers everything from beachside barbeques to fine dining, with many of the buildings inspired by nature.

Plantation House occupies an airy replica colonial mansion, the fine-dining and a bar complemented by a thoughtfully-selected premium wine list; alfresco meals are available at Seagrass Lounge and Restaurant, specialising in Asian and Fijian favourites.

The Beach Bar is all about casual barbeques beside the water; share plates of Mediterranean-style fare are served at the Pool Bar, beside Laucala's 2.000-square- meter lagoon-style swimming pool.

The Rock Lounge features open-air dining above Seagrass Bay, with finger food and cocktails the order of the day.

Laucala also offers dining by design, which means customised menus in private dining locations amid the jungle, along a jetty, in your villa.

Spa & Wellness

Few spa experiences rival that at Laucala, where traditional Fijian therapies, organic amenities and serene settings go hand in hand. Four treatment villas each with an outdoor tub, relaxation room and changing room and two wet rooms with Vichy showers and steam facilities sit amid water features and tall palm trees, complemented by a beauty salon, pedicure and manicure rooms and the Spa Garden.

It's here that herbs, spices, flowers and fruits are picked to create Laucala's four signature scents: Molikaro (native citrus), Wainimate (medicinal herbs), Senikau (tropical blooms) and Qele (indigenous roots, woods and spices). Each scent is incorporated into the spa's organic, amenities, including lotions and the massage oils used in spa rituals.

Treatments begin in a relaxation lounge fitted with day beds and an open fireplace, followed by a footbath incorporating a hibiscus, honey and sugar-crystal polish and a gentle massage. Signature experiences range from Fijian hot-and-cold stone therapy to body scrubs using volcanic soil from the island and mineral crystal therapy.

Guests are encouraged to become involved in the spa experience through the Spa Garden, where an interactive display informs about Fiji's tropical bounty. Guests can pick their own spices, herbs flowers and fruits vanilla, lemongrass, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee, ylang ylang, pepper, ginger and create a signature essential oil, soap or lotion in the Spa.

Private Airstrip

If traveling by private charter or jet, the island has the added convenience of its own runway, avoiding any necessity for transfers from the mainland. Another upside is that the island has its own air and maritime exclusion zones, meaning the island is truly off limits to prying paparazzi.
