After nearly 40 years and at the age of 85, David Gilmour has finally agreed to entrust the ownership of his beloved Fiji island, Wakaya, to new ownership.

Jillian and David Gilmour bought Wakaya in 1976, developing an island with an already impressive place in Fiji's history into a boutique resort retreat. Over the years the Wakaya Club & Spa has won recognition at the highest levels in the hospitality industry. As well as the Wakaya Club & Spa, Wakaya is host to a dozen exclusive homes and other private ownership interests, and to Mr Gilmour's 2009 start-up, Wakaya Perfection, sourcing a range of organic wellness products from Wakaya, which he will continue to own and operate.

We are thrilled to announce that Clare Bronfman and her Ack Group of Companies have taken over operations at Wakaya as of Friday, August 11th, 2016. As an existing homeowner on Wakaya Ms Bronfman shares Jillian and David Gilmour's love and enthusiasm for Wakaya, a critical factor in his decision to transfer the property into younger and capable hands.

Jillian and David Gilmour's association with Wakaya will continue. Wakaya Perfection continues to thrive and generous arrangements with the new owners will allow him to continue to spend time on the island and in Fiji, a country with which he has had a life-long association as an investor and friend.

Please join me in congratulating Ms. Bronfman on her acquisition of Wakaya and we encourage you to return to Wakaya soon and often!!
