The architecture utilizes sustainable materials and traditional Fijian design elements, such as large thatched roofs and timber detailing, integrated with contemporary luxury finishes.

Location & Access Logistics

Access: Primarily via a private bridge connecting the island to the mainland near the Savusavu market, or by a 2-minute boat shuttle from the Copra Shed Marina.

Transit: Savusavu Airport (SVU) is 4km away. The island is accessible to residents, marina guests, and visitors to its commercial outlets.

Navigation: The island’s harbor is naturally deep and exceptionally well-sheltered, providing one of the few "hurricane holes" in the South Pacific for superyachts.
