Fiji is going through an investment boom with a number of key popular areas. The offshore islands of the Mamanucas and Yasawas, with their perfect white sand beaches, are highly sought after for their idyllic getaway qualities. However, the high purchase prices and the increased development costs due to the remote access can make such property prohibitively expensive. Also they are mostly available only for commercial tourist developments.

Other popular areas are found in Fiji's friendly "north", such as Savusavu and Matei. These towns are located on the islands of Vanua Levu (2nd largest island) and Taveuni (3rd largest island) respectively. Much of the property is available under freehold title, which is a drawcard to many. Access is easier than the smaller islands, but nevertheless the main hospitals, business centres and shopping centres are located on Fiji's main island of Viti Levu.

With prices increasing in regions such as the Coral Coast and Pacific Harbour, investors are looking at hitherto unresourced areas, such as the Sunshine Coast in the northern part of Viti Levu - so called due to its higher than average sunshine hours per year. An excellent reason to invest in this area!
