He reforested the land, planting over half a million trees, and established a sustainable, community-centered resort. Today, the island operates on solar power, grows much of its own food, and supports local Fijian villages through education, healthcare, and employment initiatives, setting a model for responsible tourism in the Pacific.

Guests can enjoy private picnics on any of the 12 secluded beaches or explore the surrounding waters by kayak or sailboat. The island’s serene environment also makes it a popular destination for honeymoons and intimate weddings.
