Resort Buyouts for Corporate Groups in Fiji

Six Fiji properties publish a price for taking over the whole place. Another eleven publish that a buyout exists without saying what it costs. And not a single one publishes a lead time — which is the number a corporate planner most needs, because a buyout is the one booking you cannot shoehorn into a quarter.

Here is the full picture: who sells exclusivity, what it costs where a figure exists, how many people it holds, and the meeting space you get with it.

Which Fiji resorts publish a buyout price?

All figures are each property's own published rate, observed 3 October 2026. Note the currencies — three different ones across six properties.

Two of those need reading carefully before you put them in a budget. Malamala Beach Club is a day venue with no accommodation — a very good one for a 350-person welcome function or awards afternoon, but your delegates sleep elsewhere. And Kokomo's published product covers up to 12 guests, not the resort's full 26 keys, so it is a premium incentive for a small leadership group rather than a conference buyout.

Sau Bay is the most corporate-legible of the six, because it publishes two distinct products: a non-dive book-out from USD 3,150 per day based on 12 people with a five-night minimum, and a dive-group book-out from USD 2,800 per person with a seven-night minimum and a minimum of 12 guests. Both include all meals and return airport transfers.

Which resorts offer a buyout without publishing a price?

Eleven, and several are the obvious candidates for a corporate programme.

Vomo is the standout for scale: it is the only property in Fiji that both publishes evidence of being the sole resort on its island and advertises hire for 100-plus guests. Namale publishes the most complete inclusion list of any unpriced buyout — all meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, snorkelling, golf, bowling, kayaking, paddleboarding, village tours, nightly cultural entertainment, happy hours, private dining, resort-wide wi-fi, room service and a dedicated concierge.

Serenity's numbers do not reconcile. The same page says "book all 33 bures" for "groups of up to 70 people" and also "lodging for groups of up to 46 people" with 23 units. Get the room count in writing.

What meeting space comes with a buyout?

This is where most Fiji buyouts disappoint a conference planner, and it is better to know now. Exclusivity and meeting infrastructure rarely sit in the same property.

So the only buyout property in Fiji with genuine plenary capacity is InterContinental Fiji, whose ballroom seats 600 theatre and which will sell you either the whole 266-room resort or all 50 Club suites. Everything else above is an incentive or a retreat venue, not a conference venue. If you need both a buyout and a 300-seat plenary, you are looking at Fiji's conference venues and negotiating exclusivity of the function space rather than the property.

Nanuku's own figures conflict: its meetings page says the largest event space is Kanavata at 100, its events page says the Club House Lawn at 120. Its room inventory is published two ways as well — "15 suites and 22 villas & residences" on one page, "15 suites, 20 residences and 8 villas" on another. Ask for a rooming list.

What lead time should a corporate buyout assume?

Nobody publishes one, so this is the honest gap in the market. What the properties do publish gives you the shape of the commitment:

• Minimum nights, where stated: three at Yasawa Island Resort and Wadigi, five at Sau Bay for a non-dive group, seven for a dive group, twelve at Kokomo, one week at Turtle Island.
• Minimum spend, where stated: FJ$30,000 of food and beverage at Malamala Beach Club for up to eight hours.
• Minimum group size, where stated: 12 at Sau Bay. No other property publishes a floor.

Work backwards from that. A property with 14 to 46 rooms has one of your dates available, not several, and a three to seven night minimum means you are buying a week of its inventory. Treat it like a venue with a single room — because that is effectively what it is. Booking lead times for Fiji venues covers the wider picture.

How should a planner shortlist a buyout?

• Incentive for 10 to 40 people, premium: Yasawa Island Resort at 38, Toberua at 36, Namale at 46, Royal Davui at 32. All publish a capacity; two publish a rate.
• Incentive for 100 or more on one island: Vomo, which is effectively alone in this bracket.
• Buyout plus a real plenary: InterContinental Fiji. The only property offering both.
• Leadership retreat for 8 to 16: Wadigi, Dolphin Island, Sau Bay, Nukubati or Kokomo. Priced per night rather than per head in most cases.
• A single large function rather than a stay: Malamala Beach Club at up to 350, on a published charter fee plus minimum spend.
• Dive or activity-led programme: Sau Bay's dive book-out, which publishes 13 boat dives and a night dive in the rate.

What to ask for in writing

Because so little is published, four questions do most of the work: the lead time the property will hold a buyout date for; whether the rate is per night or per person and what taxes sit on top; the exact room count included, since three properties publish contradictory inventories; and whether any day-trip operation, second resort or village shares the island — nine Fiji resorts can confirm sole occupancy from their own material, and the rest need asking.

Then brief it properly. How to brief a Fiji DMC and get comparable quotes sets out the format, designing a Fiji incentive covers the programme itself, and the wedding-side equivalents are in whole-resort buyouts. For production on a remote island, Encore Event Technologies Fiji, Tents & Awnings and Viti Events are the kind of suppliers who will need shipping time factored in.
