Fiji Resort Development land for sale- Saweni Resort

The World's greatest resort requires the best location

Located in the centre of the South Pacific between latitude 15 degrees and 22 degrees south, Fiji is situated just west of the international date line and midway between Hawaii and Australia.

Fiji consists of 332 islands with the country's capital city of Suva located on the South Eastern coast of Viti Levu. The north western coast is the preferred climatic area and the main entry point for tourists to Fiji, via Nadi International Airport. The area is also the favoured location for major tourism developments, of which the Saweni Resort site is the most prized.

Originally a mixture of Melanesians and Polynesians, Fiji has diverse multi-cultural population of around 790,000 people, with English being the official language. Fiji is the most advanced economy in the Pacific Island region and is politically stable being a democratic republic based largely on the British parliamentary system. Major foreign earnings come from the tourism and sugar industries. The Fiji Government is committed to accelerate the growth of the country's tourism industry to cater for increasing world-wide demand.

As the regional centre of the South pacific, Fiji is the most accessible and progressive country and the crossroad for air and shipping transport between North America, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Fiji is serviced by international airlines operating on Trans Pacific air routes with connections readily available to any of the worlds major centres. Scheduled international services are provided by Fiji's national airline, Air Pacific, with other carriers; Qantas, Air New Zealand, Canadian Pacific, Korean Airlines, Royal Tongan Airlines, Solomon Airlines, Air Caledonia International, Air Marshall Islands, Air Anuria, Air Vanuatu, Polynesian Airlines and Ansett International.

A mountain range divides the main island of Viti Levu into distinct wet and dry zones. The Saweni Resort development site is located on the drier, western side of the island, which enjoys lower humidity, less rainfall and cooling sea breezes in summer. The area also boasts the highest sunshine rates of all the islands of the South Pacific with a year round average in excess of 7.5 hours per day.

The growth of tourism in Fiji has been impressive. However, the demand outstrips supply. The lack of high class (4 and 5 star) accommodation is now a real restriction. Official reports dictate the need for an additional 2,667 hotel rooms, by the year 2,000, of which 76% of new rooms required fall into the 'high' or 'premium' rate tariff group. The Saweni Resort Development site with its prime location features, size and scope of approved planning for immediate development, represents a major opportunity.

An idyllic tropical island paradise, a pristine and unpolluted environment, free from all exotic diseases, with clean air and water, uncrowded sun drenched beaches, unspoilt virgin coral reefs, and rain forests and above all, the legendary and genuine friendliness of the Fijian people.
