Wakaya Club, Exclusive Resort, Fiji Islands

The famous and very exclusive Wakaya is your ultimate tropical hideaway. This breathtakingly beautiful five-square-mile Fijian, has tropical forests, soaring cliffs with glistening waterfalls, and bleached, powder-soft beaches.

The Wakaya Club is an exclusive resort and assures confidentiality and privacy. The stress and urgency of modern life fades away as you lounge in one of only nine beach-front Bures - authentic Fijian thatched roof cottages. 

Stroll in the surf at sunset, take a tranquil walk through the forest, alive with deer, wild horses and all manner of colorful, exotic flora and fauna. Or take in a challenging round of golf, tennis or scuba diving before an elegant gourmet dinner prepared by one of our four chefs.

There are just nine traditional Fijian cottages called Bures. Under the thatched roof you’ll find airy, high-pitched ceilings, handwoven bamboo wallcovering and gleaming yaka plank floors. Stretch out on a four-poster king-size bamboo bed in an elegantly appointed bedroom.

Vale O is a three-bedroom island estate divided into three pavilions. It houses from one to three couples and includes a personal kitchen and laundry staff, your own personal chef and an on-call driver.

The bures interconnecting living room features inviting island-style furnishings, including a full wet-bar stocked daily with spirits, soft drinks, delicious world-famous FIJI water and fresh local fruits and juices. 

Soak luxuriantly in an oversized tub in the modern bathroom, which also features a separate shower and bidet. 

The bures are embraced by wide verandas and lush gardens, where you may wish to take in an intimate meal or stretch out in a hammock for a short siesta. You are never more than a few steps from your own secluded beach!

“Vale O” literally means “House in the Clouds.” Set on a promontory above Homestead Bay, Vale O offers the ultimate Wakaya experience.

Wakaya Island is steeped in history, myth and legend. First sighted by the infamous Captain Bligh in 1789 - who fled quickly that day from Fiji warriors - the island was invaded by warriors from a neighboring island in 1838. Wakayan Chief Tui Wakaya fled with about 100 of his men to a high, fortified cliff area of the island and held off the siege bravely for six days and nights. All the other inhabitants of Wakaya, including women and children, perished.

Rather than surrender, Chief Wakaya leapt to his death - and his warriors dutifully followed. To this day the rocky cliff is known as “Chieftain’s Leap.
