Proposed Naisoso Marina Boosts Tourism

Fiji Sun, April 4th – Plans to build a marina in Naisoso are currently underway with construction due to start soon and the project completed by late 2019.

Naisoso is approximately 70 kilometres from Port Denarau in Nadi which was recently declared a port of entry. Naisoso Island managing director Bob Lowre said the marina was designed to provide a worl-class commercial hub unlike any other currently available in Fiji.

While Lowre did not reveal the number of boats and yachts that can embalk at the proposed naisoso Marina, he was confident that it would boost tourist and economic activities in the area. The marina will become a vibrant destination for residents and visitors; offering high quality, resort-style retail and hospitality experience as well as accessibility, Mr Lowre said.

“Apart from the Naisoso marina the project will feature a 338 meter restaraunt, bar and entertainment precinct which is designed to serve as a key focal point, along with approximately 5300 meters of commercial and retail space spread over three levels, he said.

This will be an opportunity to be part of the new integrated international luxury resort, residential and commercial development on Naisoso Island just five minutes from Nadi International Airport.

A limited number of retail office and hospitality spaces will be available for lease, he said. He said expressions of interest were invited to secure tenancies. Marina Naisoso architecturally designed buildings will provide views both west aross Nadi Bay and the Pacific Ocean, and east over the marina and to Sleeping Giant Mountain beyond, he said.
