Nanuku Resort, Fiji

What Nanuku Resort, Fiji does

Nanuku Resort is a privately-held luxury beachfront resort operated by Storey Hospitality Group and owned by Auberge Resorts, situated on a private 500-acre coastal estate with a two-mile stretch of sandy beach on Viti Levu in Pacific Harbour, Fiji. The property offers 37 keys across three newly refreshed tiers — suites (650 sq ft), beachfront villas (900–1,850 sq ft), and multi-bedroom residences up to 5,380 sq ft with private pools — alongside the Kanavata Restaurant and Lounge, Wai Pool Bar, and multiple signature dining experiences (treetop, cliffside, cinematic sunset, destination, in-residence).

The resort's commercial stack combines accommodation revenue, food and beverage, the Lomana Spa and Wellness Centre with treetop massage platforms, more than 40 paid experiences spanning adventure (Beqa Lagoon diving, game fishing), cultural (Meke dance, kava ceremony, fire walking), culinary, and nature-based activities (coral planting, stargazing via NASA-donated telescope), as well as wedding and corporate events (capacity 6–120 guests). A parallel real estate vertical sells freehold Nanuku Beach Villas and Nanuku Ocean Estates through a dedicated sales channel.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct booking via proprietary engine and phone/email, distribution through Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Preferred Hotels & Resorts collections, luxury travel advisors, and an integrated Fiji Airways partnership for North American inbound demand. Pricing is quote-based across packages including "Wellness – Naturally," "Island Time for Two," "Linger Longer," and a perpetual free-anniversary-night program for wedding couples, with target segments spanning luxury travelers, multi-generational families, couples/romance, corporate events, real estate buyers, and remote workers.
