Fiji's iconic Beachcomber Island Resort is set to undergo a significant transformation costing $10 million following its recent acquisition by Mark and Brendon Deeley of Vision Hotels.

Known for their successful management of 20 hotel businesses over the last 15 years, including Vanuatu's largest and most iconic resort, Iririki Island Resort and Spa, the Deeley brothers are committed to elevating Beachcomber into a premier tourism destination for both local and international visitors.

The renovation process is already underway, with several key upgrades already scheduled by 25th November 2024, a brand-new kitchen will be completed, along with the introduction of a refreshed 4-star menu led by a newly appointed and high end, head chef.

By 31st March 2025, 38 rooms will be fully renovated, with significant upgrades made to the bar and restaurant.

The remaining 12 rooms are set to be renovated by 30th June 2025.
