History
Namale Resort & Spa sits on 525 acres of rainforest and coastline on the island of Vanua Levu near Savusavu, Fiji, on land that was originally a coconut plantation. It was acquired by the motivational speaker and author Tony Robbins — reportedly in the late 1980s or early 1990s (accounts cite 1989 and 1991) — initially as a private retreat and 'think tank' before it transitioned into a public resort.
The resort was largely built and rebuilt through the 1990s (commonly cited as completed around 1996-97), designed by Aspen, Colorado architect Robert Trown in traditional Fijian bure style, with construction reaching its full vision around 2007. Today the adults-only, all-inclusive five-star property comprises 22 private bures and villas serving a small number of guests.
