Island Type resorts really started in this part of Fiji in the late 1960's and 1970's with the likes of Castaway, Plantation, Musket Cove, Beachcomber and many more. The climate, reefs and close proximity to Nadi Airport have seen these types of developments spread into the outer Yasawa islands. This is truly the home to Fiji's tourism sector and Yadua Island offers a rare chance to join the many successful resorts in the area for the astute developer. It also could be someone's exclusive home in Fiji's tourism playground.
