Development

North Fiji Group Limited is undertaking a unique integrated resort development project, Narewa Club and Resort located on Vanua Levu, the second largest island in Fiji. The club will consist of 28 private villas on freehold half acre lots situated on the hill above the resort that the company currently holds individual title to.  Club Members who purchase a villa and half acre lot will have access to the resort amenities including uniquely being able to surf world class waves in several resort managed locations offshore.  In the Club Member’s absence these villas will be used as hotel accommodations with upkeep being taken care of by the resort and owners receiving a portion of the rental returns from their villa.

The Resort aspect will be located on the water and will feature access to the Great Sea Reef from Narewa’s private marina already underway.  A channel and small boat basin has been completed and the company-owned Islander 28 boat is docked there for day trips out to the reef.  Currently, construction has also been completed on a traditional Fijian-style coconut lodge with a central bar/dining area and four dormitory style sleeping rooms.  This is a temporary structure to facilitate land sales by allowing interested parties to stay over and experience the surfing/fishing aspect of the opportunity.  It will also serve as the sales office for the development.  The preliminary resort approvals are for 20 double occupancy individual Fijian bures with 10 being partially set over the marina lagoon.  The approvals also include ancillary resort facilities including a restaurant/bar building and watersports centre with docking facilities.
