This agent has had the privilege of representing two previous owners of Toberua Island Resort to find new buyers and am delighted to represent the current owners to help them find new custodians for their amazing freehold land boutique island resort.
Toberua Island Resort opened in 1968 as Fiji’s first luxury resort. Over the course of almost 60 years this privately owned five acre, freehold, island resort as had just five owners with the current family purchasing the resort in July 2008
A conscious decision was made to leave much of the 'Traditional Fijian Aesthetics' untouched. The guest bures are some of the oldest and most traditional in Fiji and that is part of what the high returning clientele are attracted to.
The owners are based in New Zealand and have wonderful Resort Managers who are running the resort with an amazing passion and determination to ensure their guests are treated to a world class holiday…..and do they deliver!
The resort has been taken up to a new level.
The owners and the management team focus on the customer experience whilst acknowledging that to maximise this customer experience all aspects of resort infrastructure have to be of the highest quality. In an island location you cannot afford for anything to break down. They have back-up systems for their back-up systems.
There has been heavy investment in the island’s infrastructure to the point that any new owner will only have to attend to normal repairs and maintenance. The net effect is that the resort is 99% self-sustaining - truly remarkable.
Over the last 17 years there have been significant investment in upgrades of infrastructure. Since the beginning of 2023 alone, the installation of solar power, a new water treatment plant and a new state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant have been completed plus a full resurface of the swimming pool and an upgrade of many of the kitchen appliances in 2024.
By the end of March 26 a brand new wharf on the mainland, paid for by the resort, will be ready for use, cutting the travel time out to the resort by half.
There is also a new mainland water supply outlet all ready to go to get continuous treated water to the resort – just needs the pipe to be laid out to the resort. This will alleviate the need to rely on mother nature and the desalination plant.
These improvements have not just substantially reduced the carbon footprint of the island but also improved the profitability.
Tropical Island living requires reliable infrastructure and Toberua Island Resort is equipped with some of the best. Be it power, water, waste water treatment, transport or communications the current owners have covered it all.
The future? – the existing infrastructure can cope with expansion – more bures, maybe 10-12, even overwater bures are a distinct possibility and will increase revenues in a major way.
So, if you’re “looking for adventure” or wanting to add this fine boutique resort to your existing operation you must look into this opportunity.
There is an information pack available along with the financial performance details on the signing of a non-disclosure agreement.
