Denarau Island, Fiji (31 December 2024) – Club Wyndham Denarau Island, in collaboration with Fiji’s Ministry of Forestry, has planted 2,500 mangroves at Wailoaloa Beach in Nadi to help enhance coastal resilience and the region’s ecosystems.

The planting activity, held on the shoreline near Nadi International Airport, supports an ongoing government program and the mangrove propagules were sourced from Nakavika in Ba, ensuring the activity aligns with Fiji’s native flora and biodiversity.

A total of 28 resort staff members and 15 Club Wyndham members and guests, one as young as eight years old, participated in the initiative and contributed to this cause.

“This year, we planted 5,000 mangroves in collaboration with the Ministry of Forestry. These initiatives not only strengthen our coastlines but also bring our community together in protecting the environment for future generations,” said William Work, General Manager of Club Wyndham Denarau Island.

Mangroves play a critical role in maintaining the health of coastal ecosystems. They act as natural barriers against storm surges, prevent erosion, and provide habitats for a variety of marine and terrestrial species. According to the Fiji Meteorological Service, the country experiences an average of one to three tropical cyclones annually during cyclone season. Over a decade, Fiji typically faces 10 to 15 cyclones, with two to four causing severe damage.

Earlier this year, Club Wyndham Denarau Island also partnered with the Nadi Town Council to conduct a Wailoaloa Beach cleanup and the resort continues to actively support the preservation of the region’s natural environment.

Club Wyndham Denarau Island is a family-friendly beachside resort offering spacious self-contained accommodations, including one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments. The resort boasts outstanding facilities such as on-site restaurants, a gym, a large lagoon-style swimming pool, an outdoor spa, a swim-up pool bar, a kids’ club, and direct beach access. It is part of the Club Wyndham South Pacific collection, the region’s leading vacation club with close to 60,000 members and remains a favourite among its guests.
