Laucala Island is reached only by private aircraft: it is a privately owned island off the northeastern tip of Taveuni in Fiji, home to a single ultra-exclusive resort, and guests fly in on a private charter of about 45 to 50 minutes from Nadi International Airport, arranged by the resort. The island has its own airstrip, and arrival is handled through a dedicated lounge at Nadi. Spread over a large expanse of coconut plantation, rainforest and beach, Laucala is known for its seclusion, privacy and a very small number of villas, set among a working farm, reefs and lagoons in Fiji's remote north. It is one of the most private high-end island retreats in the South Pacific. Being tropical, Fiji is warm year-round, with a drier season from around May to October and a wetter, warmer spell the rest of the year.

Frequently asked questions
How do you get to Laucala Island?

Guests arrive at Nadi International Airport, are met at a dedicated lounge, and then fly about 45 to 50 minutes on a private charter, typically the resort's own aircraft, to the island's private airstrip. The resort arranges these transfers as part of a stay, so there is no scheduled public service.
Where is Laucala Island?
Laucala Island lies off the northeastern tip of Taveuni, in the remote northern part of Fiji, well away from the main tourist areas near Nadi. It is a privately owned island in the Pacific, covering a large area of plantation, forest, beaches and surrounding reef, with only a single resort occupying it.
What is Laucala Island known for?
Laucala is known as one of the most private and exclusive island retreats in the South Pacific. It combines a small number of villas with a working coconut and farm estate, rainforest, beaches and a golf course, all on a single privately held island. Its appeal lies in seclusion, space and a very low number of guests at any time.
When is the best time to visit Laucala Island?
Fiji is warm and tropical all year. The drier, cooler season from about May to October is generally the most comfortable and popular for island stays, with lower humidity and less rain. The wetter season, roughly November to April, is warmer and can bring tropical downpours and occasional storms. The island operates year-round.
