First look
One&Only is planning its first Fiji resort on Nacula Island, in the far-flung Yasawa group, across a 127-acre site. The brief is 40 accommodations and 20 residences, built as a joint venture between Kerzner and BSP Life. The name isn’t locked in yet, so for now it’s being referred to simply as One&Only Fiji, and the opening is slated for 2029.
The Yasawas are about as remote as Fiji gets, which is exactly the kind of setting this brand tends to do well, and 40 keys on 127 acres points to a lot of space per guest. We haven’t been, and 2029 is a long runway, so this is anticipation, not a verdict. What we’ll be watching for is how they handle access to an island this far out, and whether the residences crowd the resort or sit cleanly apart from it.
