Turtle Island :: A Look At Mystery Island No. One

Last week, we began our Mystery Island series. Congratulations to Tannie who was the first to most accurately solve the mystery to Mystery Island Number One!

Turtle Island…

When you think of a luxury honeymoon or getaway, you may think of a five star resort that offers state of the art spa services, a private butler and beautifully plated cuisines on modern developed land. Turtle Island offers luxury in a very natural Fijian way.

This naturally beautiful destination sits off the beaten path in Fiji. Purchased by Richard Evanson in 1972, one would imagine that Mr. Evanson knew he a diamond in the rough. Coming from the Americas hustle and bustle, this brilliant cable television business man and Harvard Engineering graduate, arrived with a tent, refrigerator and a generator. His hard work and dedication has revamped this gorgeous 500 acre once deserted island into a dream location.

After allowing the 1980’s filming of The Blue Lagoon, Richard enjoyed seeing others appreciate the beauty of this island and allowed private access for up to fourteen couples. This limited access promotes the preservation of the island’s natural beauty.
