The Mamanuca Islands are about to welcome a fresh chapter in luxury island living. Mana Island Resort & Spa, long cherished as one of the region’s iconic destinations, will join Radisson Hotel Group’s Radisson Individuals collection, set for a 2027 reopening after a full refurbishment. This partnership marks Radisson’s third resort in the country, alongside Radisson Blu Resort, Fiji Denarau Island, and the Radisson Blu Mirage Resort, Fiji Naisoso Island, currently under construction.
Set on 120 hectares of lush tropical land, Mana Island Resort & Spa boasts the largest resort footprint in Fiji. It offers a rare combination of accessibility and seclusion, with a 90-minute boat ride from Port Denarau Marina or a scenic 20-minute seaplane journey from Nadi International Airport. Once on the island, guests are greeted by crystal-clear turquoise waters, vibrant coral reefs, and powdery white beaches, capturing the essence of the South Pacific.
The 160-room resort will undergo a full transformation, reimagining guest rooms, suites, and beachfront villas while preserving the warmth and charm that has made Mana Island a beloved destination. Guests can look forward to enhanced dining across multiple venues, relaxing by new swimming pools, unwinding at the spa and wellness centre, keeping active at the fitness facility, and enjoying time at the kids’ club or versatile event spaces. The resort is designed to appeal to a wide range of travellers, from couples seeking a romantic escape to families and groups looking for an unforgettable island retreat.
“Fiji continues to be one of the South Pacific’s most desirable destinations, and Mana Island is one of its most iconic island locations,” said Danilo Curcuruto, Radisson Hotel Group Director of Development Australasia. “Welcoming Mana Island Resort & Spa into our Radisson Individuals portfolio reflects our commitment to expanding in high-potential leisure destinations. Our approach allows owners to preserve the property’s unique identity while unlocking the power of Radisson’s global reach.”
Hiro Osuka, owner of Mana Island Resort & Spa, shared his excitement for the future. “Partnering with Radisson Hotel Group will help us elevate Mana Island into a leading upscale island resort. Their global distribution and expertise in lifestyle and resort hospitality will support our mission to deliver a compelling and memorable experience for guests from around the world.”
The Mana Island partnership follows Radisson Hotel Group’s recent expansion into Samoa, highlighting the company’s broader strategy to grow across Australasia and the Pacific. For travellers, it promises a destination where untouched landscapes meet thoughtful, world-class amenities – a place where every sunrise over the Mamanuca horizon invites adventure, relaxation, and a true sense of escape.
By 2027, Mana Island Resort & Spa will emerge renewed yet familiar, preserving the magic that has long drawn visitors while introducing a fresh wave of luxury and experiences. For those dreaming of a South Pacific retreat where natural beauty and refined hospitality meet, the island’s next chapter will be well worth the wait.
