Fijian beachfront estate
Fijian beachfront estate
The 500-acre estate holds just 37 residences along Beqa Lagoon, giving guests miles of private coastline to themselves.

What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Although this 500-acre estate sits on the southern coast of Fiji's largest island of Viti Levu, it feels like a secluded private world of its own.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Pacific Harbour Village is a three-minute drive away, with white-water rafting along the Navua River and diving in Beqa Lagoon.
The rooms
Suites have vaulted thatched ceilings, and standalone villas open onto private plunge pools facing the sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The freshwater infinity pool looks out over the ocean, complete with an adjacent hot tub and swim-up bar.
The spa and gym
Open-air spa decks sit in the branches of a dilo tree over the water, and the gym rests beneath timber rafters.
At the table
Kanavata serves daily catches from the lagoon, and cocktails are poured beneath a long chandelier of oyster shells.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
