Travel Guide Wakaya Island

It is certainly the most "jet-set" island in Fiji. To stay there, you have to show your credentials and above all have the means. In the small Fijian world, Wakaya is known to be the place where Bill Gates, Nicole Kidman, etc. stay. However, the island located 18 km from Ovalau has an interesting history with the story of its wars against the island of Ovalau, the passage of Captain William Bligh in 1789 after the mutiny on board the "Bounty", and the attempt to produce sugar in 1862 which ended in financial failure. It was entrepreneur David Gilmour who developed this island in the 1970s, which was uninhabited at the time of its purchase.
