Turtle Island

Turtle Island is a pioneer in eco-tourism and sustainable luxury, owned by the Evans family since the 1970s. Spanning 500 acres of lush tropical forest and 14 pristine beaches, it is designed as a sanctuary for couples. In 2026, the island continues its "One-to-One" conservation model, where every guest stay contributes to the reforestation of the island (over 500,000 trees planted to date) and local community health programs. It is a place where "luxury" is defined by the depth of human connection and the raw beauty of the South Pacific.

Accommodations & Design The 14 Bures are built in the traditional Fijian style with soaring thatched roofs, woven coconut husk (sinnet) joinery, and local hardwoods. Each Bure is tucked into the shoreline, providing a "private estate" feel. The 2026 interior refresh has integrated modern comforts like walk-in rain showers and handcrafted furniture while maintaining the iconic "Old Fiji" aesthetic. There are no televisions or phones; instead, guests are assigned a "Bure Mama" or "Bure Papa"—a dedicated personal concierge who anticipates every need from laundry to private beach picnics.

Amenities & Inclusions Turtle Island offers a blend of high-energy adventure and deep relaxation.

Private Beaches: The island’s "crown jewel." With 14 beaches for 14 couples, you can reserve a beach for the entire day, where a gourmet picnic and champagne are delivered by boat.

Gastronomy: Communal dining is a hallmark here, featuring "table-to-farm" menus where 80% of the ingredients are grown in the island's 5-acre organic garden.

Marine & Sport: Includes unlimited scuba diving, horseback riding on the beach at sunrise, mountain biking through the interior trails, and world-class fly-fishing.

Wellness: The Lali Spa offers traditional Fijian massages using local oils, often performed to the rhythmic sound of the Pacific waves.

How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Turtle Island is profound but flexible. Because there are 14 beaches for 14 couples, it is entirely possible to go an entire day without seeing another guest. The "Vonu Point" Bure offers the highest level of sovereignty, located at the far end of the island with its own private path. While the evenings often feature social communal dinners, guests can opt for private "lantern-lit" dining on the jetty or in their Bure. For those seeking absolute control, the "Island Buyout" transforms the 500-acre estate into a completely private, 100-person staffed kingdom for friends and family.
