Luxury Freehold Property Ownership in Fiji
Due to it’s unique beauty and relative seclusion, Fiji is one of the most sought after locations for freehold land in the world.
Fiji is an archipelago with over 330 islands of which 110 are inhabited. The two largest islands are Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, which account for about three-quarters of the total land area of the country.
Fiji draws thousands of travelers and tourists annually. Many of them never want to leave; most return, captivated by all that Fiji has to offer.
These islands have enormous appeal for those seeking a serene and beautiful environment either as a second home or as a place to spend their retirement years.
Property values in Fiji have increased in the past four years, attracting buyers interested in homes as investment opportunities. The most desirable property type for purchase is “freehold” because it is the only real estate that can be wholly owned.
Other types of land in Fiji are native trust land, which can only be leased but never owned, and crown land, which is government-owned and in certain areas can be leased directly from the government of Fiji.

What does freehold mean?
Freehold property, sometimes called fee simple, can be bought and sold freely and owned forever. Freehold ownership means you have absolute title to your property in perpetuity, and can sell, transfer, or bequeath it as you wish.
In all of Fiji, only nine percent of available land is freehold, and only a fraction of that is beachfront (which of course is in highest demand).
How to buy a freehold property.
The best way to purchase freehold property is with the assistance of a reputable real estate agency or development company to ensure all relevant legalities are in place.
Non–citizens of Fiji can purchase freehold property as long as it is outside urban areas as outlined in Fiji’s 2014 Land Sales (Amendment) Act.
Typically, within two years of buying freehold land in Fiji, the new owner is legally required to build a home valued at FJD $250,000 or more on the lot. However Nanuku Resort Fiji is a tourism integrated project, and thus this rule does not apply to purchasers of Nanuku’s freehold land for sale. In other words, there is no build requirement when you purchase property at Nanuku.
For tax purposes, owners must register with the Fiji Revenue and Customs Authority.
Freehold or land tenure in Fiji is via the Torrens title land-registration system, with the title guaranteed constitutionally by the State.
The Beach Villas at Nanuku
At Nanuku you can purchase freehold three ways: land, home-lot packages, or a newly built villa.
Nanuku Resort Fiji on Viti Levu offers you a rare opportunity to own a piece of freehold land in Fiji. A personal, private beachfront retreat with sophisticated and luxurious amenities can now be yours.
Nanuku Resort Fiji encompasses 500 acres of land surrounded by lush tropical mountains and includes a significantly large area of oceanfront (3 km). The Nanuku Resort Fiji land is outside city and town boundaries and therefore any vacant freehold property it owns is open to purchase by non-citizens of Fiji.
Nanuku is one of Fiji’s biggest property developments and the freehold lots on offer range in size from around 1452sqm (14520sqft) to 3035sqm (30350sqft) and start in the mid-$200‘s [USD].
Nanuku offers this one-of-a-kind investment opportunity to build your island home from the ground up, with custom designs by the world-renowned Grounds Kent Architects, winners of the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler “Best Hotel” Award, or an approved builder of your choice.
You can also purchase one of our brand new beachfront and beach access villas. These Nanuku Beach Villas are beautifully appointed combining masterful design and modern luxury to provide the discerning owner with a living experience like no other. While Phase 2 is almost sold out, there are a handful left starting in the mid-$700’s [USD].
The living is easy in these villas, the ultimate retreat. Perfect for those who seek a tranquil backdrop to an extraordinary life. These magnificent beachfront homes, graced by soaring ceilings and wall-to-wall windows, reflect a magical merging of inspiration and architecture.
Fijian decor, handicrafts, and thatched roof bures embrace the culture and heritage of Fiji, giving each villa an authentic tropical ambiance.
Entertainment areas flow seamlessly to the courtyard which is essentially an outdoor living room – and onto the sparkling plunge pool, fragrant tropical garden, and tranquil sea beyond. Residences face south capturing the sunshine throughout the day and benefitting from sweet, gentle ocean breezes.
Sleek light-filled en-suite baths and stylish gourmet kitchens ensure modern comfort and convenience in every way. Take a look inside with one of our 360-degree virtual tours.
