Wailagilala Island
In a world of incredible private islands, yours should still stand out. Fiji's Wailagilala Island does just that, on several exceptional levels. As one of only two true atolls in Fiji, this stunning 114-acre island boasts an abundance of white-sand beachfront protected by a barrier reef, and faces a beautiful, safe, wide-entry deep-water lagoon.

In a world of incredible private islands, yours should still stand out. Fiji's Wailagilala Island does just that, on several exceptional levels. As one of only two true atolls in Fiji, this stunning 114-acre island boasts an abundance of white-sand beachfront protected by a barrier reef, and faces a beautiful, safe, wide-entry deep-water lagoon. Its precious wildlife also gives it tremendous value—and national significance—from a conservation perspective.
The northernmost outpost of Fiji's Lau Island group, Wailagilala is located about 165 miles northeast of Fiji's main island of Viti Levu, in an area cherished for its immaculate waters, stunning marine environment, exclusive resorts, and high-profile, high-net-worth island owners. The island's crystal-clear surrounding waters are credited to its remote location and lack of terrestrial water runoff. Relatively level and elevated above the mean high water mark, Wailagilala has been developed progressively since 2007 with five one-bedroom bures, a pair of two-bedroom villas built as the owner's accommodation, and ancillary buildings. Cyclone Winston caused minor damage in 2016, but the existing core infrastructure means a short turnaround time to adapt the property to your own vision and begin basking in the gorgeous setting.
These days, any footsteps you see on the sandbar between the island's southern and northern sections are likely to belong to turtles. Wailagilala is home to nesting green turtles and several breeding seabird populations—brown boobies are plentiful, and Wailagilala is one of just five documented sites in Fiji of the nesting white tern. As one of Fiji's most attractive and unique islands, Wailagilala is ready for the next chapter in its development, offering the foundation for a tropical private island compound or an exclusive conservation-focused eco resort that will not require a lengthy permitting and planning process. There is even the possibility of adding a landing strip for fixed-wing aircraft.
