Accor, the largest hospitality group in the Pacific, and Yavu Collective, a Fijian-owned investment group, have announced a landmark agreement to introduce three new hotels in Fiji. This partnership will see Sofitel, The Sebel, and TRIBE join Accor’s global network, marking a significant milestone for the region.

The development will feature Sofitel Fiji Vatu Talei, set to open in early 2027 on Denarau Island. This resort will span 10 acres and offer 176 rooms, blending French elegance with Fijian culture. David Fraser, Vice President Operations at Accor Pacific, highlighted the strategic importance of the Pacific market, noting that Sofitel Vatu Talei aligns with their vision for luxury resort experiences.

In August 2026, The Sebel Nuku Loaloa Living will debut in Wailoaloa, Nadi, offering 76 self-contained apartments and villas. The property will include a restaurant, bar, and extensive wellness facilities. TRIBE Na Tomba, opening in late 2026 on Denarau Island, will provide 118 rooms and vibrant communal spaces, embodying a socially driven brand ethos.

Adrian Williams, Chief Operating Officer of Accor in the Pacific, emphasised the partnership's role in strengthening Fiji as a premier destination. Vincent Macquet, CEO of Yavu Collective, expressed pride in developing culturally grounded hospitality experiences.

By 2027, Yavu Collective aims to operate five resorts across Viti Levu, employing over 1,300 locals. The collaboration with Accor is set to enhance Fiji’s tourism landscape, fostering cultural and community connections
