Fiji
Turtle Island in Fiji is a private, luxury resort located in the Yasawa Islands, renowned for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and eco-friendly ethos. Spanning 500 acres, the island offers an exclusive retreat with only 14 bures (traditional Fijian villas), ensuring privacy and a deeply personalized experience for each guest.

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.
Activities on Turtle Island range from snorkeling vibrant coral reefs and scuba diving to horseback riding and guided nature hikes. 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.
Beyond its luxurious amenities, Turtle Island offers a unique cultural immersion. Visitors are encouraged to participate in Fijian customs, such as the traditional kava ceremony or meke dance performances. This blend of natural beauty, sustainability, and rich cultural heritage makes Turtle Island a truly unique and meaningful destination in the South Pacific.
