The Where to Buy Fiji Property contents:

Fiji Land

Stretching back to the colonial era in Fiji's history, most of the land in Fiji, 83% in fact, is owned by indigenous communities and can never be sold. However, there is a portion of freehold land, 8.3% of the total land, available for purchase.

And this is the focus of the section, freehold land. Because, you can own it forever!

Land Lease

Most resorts in Fiji lease their lands from local communities and generates income for the villages. There are leasing opportunities available which, over time, will come to light on Amazing Fiji Vacations dot com.

Freehold Areas

Fiji freehold land is located in certain locations around Fiji. And various sections offers different positions and lifestyles. Most freehold land is located in the north of Fiji on Vanua Levu and Taveuni. This came about from the colonial period when the British allocated land to 'Europeans' to farm and help colonise Fiji. There is also pockets along the southern coast of the main island, Viti Levu.

Size and Price

Typical plots are beachfront to ocean views and are between half an acre and 1 acre. The price starts from around US$20,000-85,000 depending on the location.

Benefits

All areas offer all year round tropical weather, friendly Fijian locals, natural food, and warm water for water activities.

What varies is the quality of the beaches, convenience (international airport, shopping, health care, quality schoolling), and of course price.

Here are the areas, refer to the map at the top.

A Place to Start

Apart from browsing the above sites, if you'd like a place to begin your Fiji property search, non-freehold as well, housingparadise.com is a good start.

Housingparadise.com uses registered real estate agents from around the South Pacific, who post their properties on the site in a 'one stop shop' format (similar to amazing-fiji-vacations.com as a one stop shop for Fiji getaways).

I find the site user-friendly and you can do searches using criteria such as: price, location, property type, and the number
of bedrooms/bathrooms. It has photos, a map view, currency conversions, a mortgage calculator while also enabling you to contact the real estate agent directly with your enquiry.
