Macuata Island is the last available freehold island near Viti Levu and is ideal for anyone wishing to invest in a paradisiacal private island for sale in Fiji. Most freehold islands in this region have either been sold and are now inhabited or they have been subdivided and lots have been sold off. This private island, however, presents an almost unique opportunity to own an undeveloped freehold island in Fiji.
Macuata Island is the perfect island for those who seek the harmony of a close proximity to civilization and the seclusion so famously enjoyed by private island owners around the world. Located approximately 1.5 kilometres from the northern coast of Viti Levu, Macuata private island is listed as a fee simple estate (freehold) and is approximately 100 acres in size. It is cone shaped and rises to approximately 330 ft. It is accessible by boat and helicopter with a flying time of only 15 minutes from the Nadi International Airport.
This Fijian private island is volcanic in origin and sits on a coral reef, the edge of the reef being located approximately 400 meters from the shore, and is surrounded by clear blue protected water up to 20 meters deep. Climatically, this region has consistently the best weather of all of the many islands in Fiji. The winter months bring blue skies and warm waters, whereas the summer months bring soaring temperatures. Furthermore, unlike many other Fijian destinations, this private island is free of the overwhelming humidity which sometimes typifies this beautiful Pacific island kingdom. Two more great aspects: high sunshine hours on the dry side of Vatu Levu and elevated property safe from tsunamis and the rising ocean levels.
This Island is truly unique and has the second largest colony of the critically endangered Crested Iguana. In 1996, the IUCN listed the Crested Iguana as a critically endangered species, and it is the only endangered Fijian reptile listed in the Fiji Biodoversity Strategy and Action Plan (Watling and Zug, 1998).
