History
Yasawa Island Resort & Spa opened in 1991 on the remote northern island of Yasawa (Yasawa-i-Rara) in Fiji, following a land lease signed in 1987 and the arrival of its first light aircraft in 1989. Founded by Norman Bor, the all-inclusive resort was conceived as an intimate barefoot-luxury escape.
The resort comprises traditional Fijian bures — originally 18, expanding to around 20–22 following renovation and development in 2025/26 — set along a private stretch of beach reachable only by small plane.
