A luxury we’d all like to afford...
Fiji, an island nation in Melanesia in the South Pacific Ocean, also known as the ‘soft coral capital of the world’ is renowned as a tropical island paradise, with an archipelago of more than 332 islands formed through volcanic activity started around 150 million years ago. Though the political turmoil in Fiji had a severe impact on the economy, but the tourism sector has recovered quickly, and Fiji has not only become a popular host for private island resort development, but also a vacation spot for the rich and famous like James Bond star Pierce Brosnan, RedBull co-owner Dietrich Mateschitz who owns the Laucala Island in Fiji, and actor Mel Gisbon who owns Fiji’s luxurious Mago Island. Now, any of the high-net-worth individual who’s looking forward to own an exotic island should note that Nananu-i-cake ‘Nananu-e-thake’, an exclusive freehold private island with smaller satellite isle, and all facilities in place for immediate occupation is up for grabs for $10 million.

Nananu-i-cake is located approximately 1 km off the Northern Coast Fiji’s largest Island, the Viti Levu. The island can be accessed with ease from Nadi International airport or from Fijian capital of Suva.
The island boasts a lavish residence designed by noted architect Murray Cockburn, which comprises of 4 bedrooms, 2 additional guest room suites, large open plan living and dining room, a spacious library, dining room and a beautiful swimming pool.
