About Six Senses Fiji
- The jungle behind the spa shelters about forty critically endangered Fijian crested iguanas; the annual census records hatchlings, confirming active breeding.
- The largest Tesla Powerpack microgrid in Fiji runs the resort; staff sheltered in place during a cyclone because independent power and water made it one of the safest structures on the island.
- Richard Priest's brief was to cut as few trees as possible, so the 24 villas read from the sea as a Fijian village rather than a development.
- The smallest published suite or villa start at 1,200 sq ft (111 m²).
History
Six Senses Fiji opened in 2018 on 120-acre Malolo Island in the Mamanuca archipelago, a conservation-minded house of 24 villas whose jungle still shelters critically endangered Fijian crested iguanas. New Zealand architect Richard Priest designed the buildings to read as a village from the sea, and the resort runs on the largest Tesla-battery microgrid in Fiji.
The setting
Six Senses Fiji occupies a white-sand beach on Malolo Island in the Mamanucas, reached by speedboat from Denarau Marina or helicopter from Nadi International Airport. The house looks over a lagoon and reef, with the protected iguana habitat behind the spa.
