Fiji Island Auction!
Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleDavid Gilmour, Canadian entrepreneur, rediscovered the Fijian island of Wakaya about 200 years after Captain Cook, and purchased it in 1973. It had been uninhabited for over 140 years when he arrived and he set about creating a luxurious tropical resort, Wakaya Club & Resort and a village and homes for islanders employed by the resort. For himself and his New Zealand born wife, Jill, he built the Rai Ki Wai (view over the sea) estate on a hilltop overlooking the island and ocean. Rai Ki Wai is going to auction on October 3rd.
Designed in colonial pavilion style, the home is a series of three pavilions connected by walkways, providing the ultimate in privacy when entertaining stay-over guests. The main living pavilion is 4,200 square feet with an open living room and bar area. The master bedroom pavilion is an impressive 5,000 square feet and there is a third double pavilion for guests. By way of a winding jungle path, owners and guests can access Homestead Bay Beach with amenities solely for the use of the owner such as BBQs, 12-seater tables, sun lounges, toilets and showers. It’s the ideal spot to serve a feast cooked in a traditional Fijian Lovo.
In the owner’s absence the estate can be rented as a turnkey vacation property through the Wakaya Club and Resort. The resort can provide bookings, transportation, food, housekeeping and all amenities expected of luxury accommodations, while providing additional income for the owner.
Due to the remoteness of the island and the highly secured dock, airstrip and helipad, the location is attractive to royalty, celebrities and business leaders. Visitors to the Wakaya Club and Resort have included Prince Felipe of Spain, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Rupert Murdoch, George Lucas, Michelle Pfeiffer, Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise and the Rolling Stones. Bill Gates and his wife chose the resort as the location for their honeymoon. For more information.
