One of the most exciting private islands on the market right now is the 5,187-acre
Vatuvara Private Islands Resort which, at the time of publication, is available for a cool $155m, earmarking it as one of the most expensive private islands to ever reach the market. However, for that price you will get not one but
four islands in Fiji’s pristine Northern Lau Group – as well as an Otter aircraft and responsibility for the Vetuvara Foundation, the resort’s charitable arm that is dedicated to protecting the Fijian oceans.
The beauty of this private island purchase opportunity is that it is being sold as a whole resort, including everything from organic farms and a Tesla solar farm, to an organic golf course and luxurious accommodations, rather than an undeveloped piece of ocean-locked land.
