Island Private Fijian island with ranching history

Main image

Mago Island is a privately owned island in Fiji’s Eastern Division, known for agricultural use and limited habitation. The island has been used for cattle grazing and plantations rather than as a public tourist destination.

As a private property it is not generally open to the public and access is by prior arrangement only. The island’s infrastructure and use have been oriented toward farming and private management rather than visitor services.

Historically the island has hosted plantation agriculture and pastoral activities; ownership changed in the early 21st century when it entered private hands. Exact ownership and operational details are managed privately.

Mago lies among Fiji’s island groups in the South Pacific and is administered within Fiji’s Eastern Division; it is separate from the main populated islands and reached by private boat.

  • Private ownership: Privately owned since the mid 2000s, with restricted public access; visits require permission from the owner or authorized managers.
