The exclusive Wakaya Club is a privately owned island in the South Pacific Islands of Fiji. The award-winning tropical paradise is the quintessential celebrity hotel. The island caters to wealthy guests seeking to be spoiled and pampered. Providing their clients with all inclusive amenities such as sunbathing free from paparazzi on their own private beaches, deep sea fishing from their glass bottomed yacht, snorkeling in the most beautiful reefs and lagoons in the world, golfing through their 19th century plantation, an open air luxury spa and outstanding cuisine prepared by the island's personal chefs.
Though the Wakaya Club’s guest list is strictly confidential, almost everyone who goes to this extravagant resort is rich and/or famous. Palm Beach Illustrated claims “The Wakaya's guest roster reads like the Who's Who of the entertainment and political industries”. So be prepared to share your table with such guests as Celine Dion, who told People Magazine -- “When you leave, you cry. It's an experience out of the ordinary”; While Travel & Leisure Magazine reports, “Even Bill Gates thought enough of Wayaka's Privacy and 12-1 staff ratio to honeymoon here”.
Exquisite Cuisine:
The magnificent Palm Grove Restaurant is the island answer to a superb dining experience. The structure resembles a Fijian Temple complete with 60 foot cathedral ceilings and eastern décor. The feng shui continues to the deck, where you over-look a secret azure lagoon. Try dining the Fijian way at the communal table, or if you so wish dine in private on a romantic secluded beach where the sounds of the lali drums can be heard from the other side of the island.
The outstanding food has been hailed from around the world with such reviews as “clever and creative” from Australian Gourmet Traveler and InStyle Magazine raves, “the best food you've ever tasted with a tan” and absolutely recommends the sweet and spicy lobster or the lamb which is wrapped in banana leaves and roasted over hot coals.
The Wayaka´s vision on food is to let the island provide the ingredients. Growing organic herbs & vegetables, using the island's own game and letting the ocean offer you the freshest seafood you'll ever experience. The gourmet chefs may even prepare you with vegetarian and vegan options, they accommodate the strictest of diets without compromising flavor or presentation. The simple fact is you will dine like Fijian Royalty.
