The multi-million dollar Nawi Island Integrated Tourism project has spent almost $100 million so far on development works in Savusavu since 2005.

The project is believed to include the biggest and longest super yacht berth area in the country.

This was made known to Minister for Lands Filimoni Vosarogo when he visited the island with his team last Friday.

The project director, general counsel and head of Real Estate Sales & Hotel Development, Melvin Chand told Mr Vosarogo that the project had been successful so far.

“We’ve had great success already even though it’s not officially opened,” he said.

“The yachting community in Australia and New Zealand are aware of this project and are positive about it as we have a very good working relationship with them as well as with the locals including the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association.

“The project itself includes 132 berth international marina with 21 dedicated for super yachts and the longest one about 85metres long.”

Mr Chand said other facilities would include a yacht club, restaurants, chandlery, spa, a cultural heritage and nautical museum with other amenities.

“This also includes a 11-acre freehold haul out and long-term storage and maintenance boat yard with a 150 yachts capacity,” he said.

“A total of 35 private freehold lots are for sale and up in the market with 21 apartments, 11 villas, 40 condominiums and a 5.3 acres private island.”
