Wakaya is a privately owned island in Fiji’s Lomaiviti Archipelago. It covers an area of 8 km² (3 sq mi). The island was bought in 1973 by David Gilmour, a gold-mining entrepreneur who has developed the island, building 22 kilometres of roads, a freshwater reservoir, an airstrip, a marina, jetty, village, church, gym and school. Gilmour also developed the Wakaya Club, an exclusive resort in northwest of island.
