Passion, exclusivity, service and privacy is something that we constantly guarantee, says Ivonka Kirov, spokeswoman for Property4East (http://www.property4east.com), catering perfectly for the needs of our Eastern European clientele. Laucala Island is one the most beautiful and exclusive destinations that we are now letting. Laucala is one of three small islands lying to the east of Thurston Point on the island of Taveuni in Fiji.
In 1972, publishing magnate Malcolm Forbes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Forbes) bought Laucala Island and upgraded the living quarters of its inhabitants - who worked on his estate - at his own expense. He also provided free primary education and paid up to half of a student's secondary and tertiary education expenses. Forbes died in 1990 and is buried on Laucala. Since 2003, Austrian tycoon Dietrich Mateschitz, who owns company selling the wildly profitable energy drink Red Bull (http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Red-Bull.com/001242745950125), has lorded over this isolated paradise; now he's opened it up to people who want a taste of a billionaire's life.
Mateschitz built 25 sprawling guest-connected villas (encircling private pools facing the beach) in traditional Fijian style, with timber beams tied together to support sea grass roofs. The island has a dozen beaches and 38 pools that blend into the tropical surroundings while offering distinctive wow factors: a transparent glass cube discreetly jutting above the beachfront like an aerial aquatic sculpture. Serving the privileged few - it must have the world's highest staff-to-guest ratio - are an astounding 350 uniformed attendants with an arsenal of high-powered toys from Jet Skis to shotguns. There's a fully-stocked golf pro shop and an immaculate 18-hole Scottish carpet carved through Laucala's dense jungles.
Breakfast encompasses what is Laucala's greatest luxury: spontaneity. Like tropical genies, the staff are virtually invisible until you give voice to your whims. Then things happen very quickly and perfectly. There are also two bakers from Germany who get up early every morning, just in case someone drops by.
