Laucala Island Resort
A Fijian island with its own airstrip, farms and golf course — closed until 2027.
Laucala is a large island in northern Fiji, near Taveuni, with its own airstrip, working farms, a herd of cattle, a golf course and 25 villas spread across coast, hill and forest. One property occupies the island, and it is large enough that guests move by buggy. The farms supply a substantial part of what the kitchens use, which is unusual at this scale and this remoteness.
The resort closed to guests in January 2026 for a full renovation, and its management agreement with COMO ended at the same time; it is expected to return in 2027 under independent operation. Reports of the reopening month differ. The COMO period is held as a separate entry in this register, because a change of operator creates a new record rather than an edit to the old one.
Self-supplying at resort scale. Farms, gardens and herds on the same island as the kitchen. Most properties in this register import almost everything.
Twenty-five villas on an island this large produces a density closer to a private estate than a resort, and explains why guests rarely encounter each other.
Who it is not for
Laucala is wrong for anyone travelling before the reopening is confirmed, and the register carries no date until the property states one. It is wrong for guests who want a small island they can walk — this one needs a vehicle. And it is wrong for travellers who want an easy journey: Fiji, then a domestic connection, then the island's own strip. Those wanting Fiji now should look at Kokomo or Turtle Island.
