Entire Fiji island with unique royal connection for sale

A breathtaking tropical island in Fiji’s Lau archipelago is for sale – but you’ll need $120 million. 

Kaibu Island in Fiji is as close as it gets to paradise on earth. 

White-sand beaches, swaying palms, azure lagoons, and 800 acres of sun-soaked land – there’s nothing Kaibu Island doesn’t have. 

Now this island resort could be yours for the eye-watering price of $121,677,000. 

In 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were reported to have stayed on the island overnight while on their royal tour of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. 

The couple stayed at Vatuvara Private Islands resort on Kaibu, which has three luxury villas and a golf course.

Kaibu Island is being sold by Vladi Private Islands. According to the listing, the island comes with its very own concrete airstrip. 

“The villas include an infinity edge heated pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and an abundance of aromatic flowers,” the listing says. 

Each of the three villas comes with a bedroom, lounge room and kitchenette, private EV cars, and a traditional Fijian spa massage house, called a bure. 

All land operations are run on solar power and follow organic standards, the listing states. 

Wealthy Australians looking to buy Kaibu Island would have company. 

Just 40 kilometres over the water is Mago Island, a private island owned by Mel Gibson. He bought the island in 2005 for $US15 million ($AU19 million at the time). 

At the time, Gibson’s purchase was met with protests from 500 local iTaukei people, who stated that their ancestors were forcibly removed from the island in the 19th century and they want it back. 

“Our island was sold for 2000 coconut plants, and stories told by our forefathers are that they were forced to leave at gunpoint,” local chieftain Timoci Waqalevu told the Fiji Times in 2005.
