NATADOLA: Gerard Saliot's Vision for Fiji

The Natadola Marine Resort project is one of the most ambitious and creative tourism developments ever undertaken in Fiji, and is an integral part of the country’s overall strategy to dramatically improve the sector.

Located on the Coral Coast, about a 40-minute drive east of Nadi Airport, once completed, the Natadola Marine Resort will be one of the best integrated resorts in the Asia Pacific, made successful through the support of the indigenous community. It will become a model community for the rest of the Pacific.

Sprawled over 638 hectares (1576 acres) of awe-inspiring landscape, the integrated resort will have a wide range of facilities. Natadola will function as both a theme destination resort in itself, because of its variety of attractions and activities, and also as a staging area for excursions to other parts of the country.

Not only will it act as a stimulus to tourism, Natadola will also set the trend towards high quality integrated resort development and relieve the pressure on less well-located and planned developments elsewhere.

The Natadola resort will not compete with other resort properties such as those in Nadi and on the Coral Coast - instead it will contribute another major attraction to Fiji.

The project offers economic, social and environmental benefits through careful and well-thought-out planning and research and close consultation with the indigenous landowners.
