HOW IT CAN WORK
The 31 lots can be sold as land or as house and land packages to help fund the hotel build, or held as a land bank. The owner's construction company, with more than 30 years building in Fiji including contracts on Hilton-branded resorts, is available to plan and deliver construction for the incoming owner.

THE MARKET
Fiji now receives more than one million visitors a year. Arrivals for the 12 months to June 2026 reached 1,003,233, the first time the annual figure has passed one million (ANZ Pacific Insight, using Fiji Bureau of Statistics data). Australia is the largest source market, and tourism is estimated at about 40% of Fiji's GDP.

WHY IT IS FOR SALE
Sunny Bay is offered direct by its owner, who is approaching 70 and selling his final development holding to spend more time with family in Australia. He is seeking a clean, timely sale.

GOOD TO KNOW
Tenure is leasehold under a Fijian state lease. The final approach road is currently unsealed. Lease, survey, valuation and costing details are set out in the Information Memorandum. Offshore buyers should take their own advice on Fijian foreign investment and lease transfer consents.
