Vuda Point
Vuda Point is a location in Fiji's Ba Province, between Nadi and Lautoka. By tradition, it was the landing site of the canoes that brought the Melanesian ancestors of the Fijian people to the country.
Vuda Point features a yacht marina. It is the home of the famous "Vuda Boys."
The first expatriate families to settle in the Vuda were the Kumars, Mishras, Watinghams, McElraths and Goundars. They currently reside in the area except the Mishras, along with other old families in the area, such as the Vakubuas, and the Babas.
In the 1970s an Italian man and his Japanese wife and family Marty and Taro settled the hilltop of Vuda lookout and reside there today. Their two sons are established engineers with offices in Germany, the United States and Korea. It was a dream to them that one day Vuda lookout would be developed into the most prestigious and luxurious estate in Fiji. In 2009 they established Sapphire Bay Fiji Limited to make this dream a reality. The Sapphire Bay Fiji development commenced in early 2013 with the construction of three luxury villas.
