Not a resort. A private estate right on the sand.
Five suites for fourteen guests at Pacific Harbour, Fiji. A resident chef and staff, and the whole place to yourselves.
Together for a reason
Ages one to ninety.
That is the real span of guests who have stayed here, usually all at once. Villa Takali is taken by one party at a time, and most of them are a family with a reason to be in the same place: a milestone birthday, a reunion, Christmas, or simply the first time everyone has been free in the same fortnight.
Five suites mean grandparents, adult children and teenagers each have somewhere to retreat to. One estate means they still eat at the same table. Half the party can dive Beqa Lagoon in the morning while the other half never leaves the pool, and everyone is back for dinner. Nobody has to want the same holiday.
“For such a large group there was so much room, that allowed all of us to have space when needed but to be able to all come together at other times.”

Two and a half acres, and everything on them
Villa Takali is a private beachfront estate on Loloma Beach, minutes from Pacific Harbour. Two and a half acres of staffed grounds: wall, fence and mature planting on three sides, 65 metres of open sand on the fourth. Yours alone: a twenty-five metre infinity pool, a floodlit tennis court, a cinema and a resident chef.

From our guests
Five-star reviews.
“I celebrated my 80th birthday there with our three daughters, two sons-in-law and seven grandchildren. It was perfect. Tukini and his staff treated us like royalty.”
David Higgins · Google · August 2026
“Wonderful staff, incredible cooking, contemporary high end materials and architecture placed on a gorgeous empty beach.”
George H · TripAdvisor · July 2018
“Pure luxury and beauty everywhere you look… Seriously if you are looking to book a villa in Fiji, this is the villa to book.”
Lewis Raines · Google · August 2025
Iva
Head housekeeper. The reason the place is immaculate every time you walk back into a room.
Tukini
Villa manager. Meets you at the door, arranges everything beyond the gate, and makes the cocktails guests keep writing about.
The people here
‘Bula’ means hello
A team of six looks after the house. Iva and Tukini look after everyone staying in it.
In the reviews they are what guests write about first: the welcome at the gate, meals at the long round table, a troupe of Fijian dancers and a kava ceremony arranged for an eightieth birthday, a river trip someone set up without being asked.
“Tukini went out of his way to make our stay special. Worth every penny!”

The owner
Welcome to my home
I am Jonathan Mitchell, a New Zealander, now living in Singapore. I spent decades in finance working around the world. Villa Takali was a labour of love and took six years to finish.
It began as a selfish idea. Rather than spend every holiday travelling to see everyone with little children in tow, I wanted one place my family would come to see me instead: grandparents, siblings, nieces and nephews, all under the same roof at the same time. Takali was built around that.
Grounds Kent Architects drew it. Much of the rest came from the resorts I have stayed in over the years, and keen observers will spot furniture and details borrowed from some of the best hotels in the world.
Something else came from those stays. I have never understood paying a great deal to stay somewhere excellent and then being charged again, at a markup, for the transfers, the minibar, the wifi and the food and drink. At Takali most of that is included. Drinks are at cost, and the kitchen is charged per person at a flat daily rate that I will tell you before you book.
Takali was never meant to be a rental. It is my extended home, and it is run by Tukini and Iva, who have been with me since before day one and are family.
Plan your stay
US$3,500 a night for the whole estate and up to fourteen guests, with all taxes, return transfers, staff and non-alcoholic drinks included. Three nights minimum, and meals charged per person per day. Smaller parties, longer stays and quieter months cost less.
A resident chef and a stocked bar. Shark diving, rafting, golf and island days beyond the gate. We answer every enquiry personally, usually the same day.
