ukubati Private Island is rooted in the genuine traditions of Fijian hospitality, just as it was when it opened 30 years ago. With their vision in developing Nukubati, local owners Jenny and Peter Bourke have become trendsetters in environmental sustainability, providing a top-class retreat in a location that remains natural and unspoiled. Situated on the Great Sea Reef, off the north coast of Vanua Levu, the second largest island in Fiji, Nukubati is a small luxurious, private island, circled by white sand, lush rainforests and sparkling coral reefs. Locally known as Cakaulevu, the Great Sea Reef is the world’s third longest continuous barrier reef system. Nukubati Private Island is one of only 16 hotels worldwide, and the only hotel in Fiji, the Pacific and Australasia to be inducted into the Trip Advisor Hall of Fame. While notably an adults-only resort, the entire property can be chartered by a large group or extended family; children of all ages are then allowed.

Low-rise and environmentally discrete, Nukubati produces its own electricity from the sun with one of the first and largest solar power plants in the Fiji Islands.
