Spread across 72 acres, it features champagne-coloured beaches, palm trees and glistening seas with tropical marine life and vibrant reefs.
The Malibu-style home was built by a Danish architect with the aim to withstand category five hurricanes.
The property spans 5,500 sq ft, with big open plan living spaces designed for residents to enjoy the glorious views and weather.
There are four bedroom suites, all with outdoor bathrooms.
But should your party be bigger than the house will fit, there are also two contemporary container cabins nearby.
Vawa, which is part of the Yasawa Islands archipelago in Fiji, is currently under the stewardship of an experienced manager who lives onsite.
They are supported by a small team who ensure the paradise runs smoothly.
Vladi, the listing agents, told Luxury Property News: “Vawa Island is one of the most fascinating new entrants on the private island landscape.
“A wildly beautiful emerald drop that is the northern most island of the celebrated Yasawa group, where one clever, visionary, passionate Californian family has created the very embodiment of paradise.
“There is nothing quite like Vawa anywhere in Fiji, the South Pacific or, as far as we know, the world.
“And the opportunity to acquire it, and become the custodian of the kind place most people can only dream about, is an intoxicating prospect.”
Prospective buyers can view the island on request.

Four islands off the coast of the UK you can visit without needing your passport
The Isle of Erraid, Scotland
The tiny Inner Hebridean Isle of Erraid is a tidal island, just off the tip of the Ross of Mull.
For an hour or two either side of low tide, the Isle of Erraid is linked to the mainland by a broad expanse of sand that you can cross.
Erraid is one of the driest and sunniest places in Scotland, with less than 1,000 millimetres of rain and 1,350 hours of sunshine annually, so you’re virtually guaranteed great days out on the beach.
Brownsea island, Dorset
After glimpsing Brownsea Island, Enid Blyton wrote about Whispering Island in the Famous Five book, Five Have a Mystery to Solve.
Nowadays, the island is owned by the National Trust and said to be a wildlife haven, home to red squirrels, a variety of exotic birds, bats, and deer.
Accessible from Poole Harbour, passengers will need to board a small foot ferry to reach Brownsea which takes around 20 minutes and costs £13, and holidaymakers will also need to pay an admission fee to visit the island which is £.950 for adults and £4.75 for kids (although it’s free for National Trust holders).
Anglesey, Wales
With over 125 miles of unspoilt coastline, in Anglesey you’ll find rugged cliffs, uncrowded sandy beaches and clear water.
The calm and shallow waters are ideal for a gentle swim, or for little ones to enjoy a paddle.
The whole island has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so you can also explore the lush countryside.
Unst, Scotland
Unst is roughly 178 miles away from the Scottish mainland.
There are thought to be just 600 people living on the tiny island, making it the most northerly inhabited place in the UK.
Unst has just one pub, one hotel, one school, three shops and a lone bus route.
