By Private Islands Magazine • Sep 26th, 2011 • Category: Islands for Sale

People looking for the ultimate exclusivity and privacy in Fiji don’t even have to leave Wakaya Island. Following a sales trend seen in other high-end private island resorts like Kamalame Cay in the Bahamas, it’s now possible to purchase your own private estate on Wakaya. Rai Ki Wai (aptly translating to “View Over the Sea”) is a private 47-acre estate of freehold land on Wakaya Island. It is one of the most beautiful homes in the South Pacific with 20,000 square feet of living space and 200-degree views of the ocean. This unique and spectacular estate property comes with seven suites and nine baths spread among the Main House Pavilion, the Master Bedroom Pavilion, Guest Pavilion with two guest suites, and three detached bures. The home’s burnished wood glistens against a backdrop of banyan trees and tropical flowers, with running and walking trails meandering their way through the property’s lush grassy hills and ancient rainforest. A lighted tennis court, volleyball court, helipad, and infinity pool with waterfall overlooking the ocean complement the luxurious residence. Whether you’re looking for a quiet sanctuary or a place to entertain, Rai Ki Wai fits the bill.

The totally self-sufficient, fully furnished property — offered at just $8,950,000 — not only has its own utilities, but also comes with an entire assortment of aquatic toys, grounds-keeping equipment and vehicles, including a 26-foot Boston Whaler fishing boat, two SUVs, two ATVs, four kayaks and a 10-passenger van. Permanent year-round staff accentuates daily life with topnotch service, creating the perfect marriage between a resort stay and the comforts of home. Nearby Wakaya Village has a store, church and a variety of tradesmen who can assist with any maintenance issues that the resident staff can’t handle themselves.

As if that weren’t enough to make Rai Ki Wai a dream come true, all of the amenities of the Wakaya Club and Spa — from fine dining to scuba diving to exquisite private beaches — are at your disposal anytime you should choose to venture away from home. The magic of Fiji has been preserved on this private sun-kissed island, now it’s yours to simply fly in and savor.
