Following its recent acquisition by Vision Hotels Australia, Fiji’s Beachcomber Island Resort will be elevated into a premier 4-star resort destination for both local and international travelers.

Brothers Mark and Brendon Deeley, renowned for their successful management of 20 hotel businesses over the past 15 years, including Vanuatu’s largest property, Iririki Island Resort and Spa, is leading this project.

This development will include a complete renovation of all existing rooms, upgrades to common areas, and the construction of new rooms.

The renovation process is already underway, as last year a brand-new kitchen was completed, and a new 4-star menu was introduced.

By late March 2025, a total of 38 rooms is expected to be fully renovated, with significant upgrades made to the bar and restaurant with the remaining 12 rooms to be renovated by late June, 2025.

The final phase will include the construction of 40 additional rooms, that is scheduled for completion by March 2026, expanding the resort’s capacity to 90 rooms.

The FJD $10million investment in Beachcomber Island Resort includes $4 million allocated for initial renovations and $6 million for new bure construction.

With this project, a total of 50 jobs will be created during the renovation phase and an additional 50 permanent positions once the resort becomes fully operational.

Through its partnership with the Mataqali and local landowners, Vision Hotels aims to create long-term benefits as the resort develops.

With these improvements, it is anticipated that the resort will achieve 32,000 room night sand host 9,000 guests annually upon completion.
