Vatuvara
A tropical retreat that hits all the right notes






Inspired by the pristine Wakaya Island, Oakley founder James Jannard has built Vatuvara, his own version of the perfect Pacific island retreat on the 324 ha of Kaibu in Fiji’s Northern Lau group.

What awaits there is a welcoming staff, sumptuous accommodation, plus food garnered from the bounteous sea and the resort’s own organic garden.
