Laucala Island has welcomed Chef Anthony Healy as its new executive chef. Healy joins the luxury resort in Fiji after leading a team of 13 chefs at Australia’s Lizard Island, bringing extensive experience in high-end, island-focused cuisine.
At Laucala, Healy will design menus that highlight the island’s native produce and seasonal bounty. He will work closely with the property’s farm manager to expand vegetable, fruit and herb production and to manage sustainable livestock practices, ensuring the kitchen’s needs align with on-island cultivation.
As an 80 percent sustainable resort, Laucala Island grows the majority of the ingredients used in its restaurants. Vegetables are started in hydroponic systems and transplanted into fertile Fijian soil, where they mature before being harvested and delivered straight to the kitchen, minimizing transport and preserving freshness.
“I am thrilled to join the expert team on Laucala Island,” said Healy. “I look forward to developing and executing plans for the resort’s restaurants and leading a successful culinary program. Laucala’s location is ideal with its abundant selection of locally grown fresh produce.”
Located on a private 3,200-acre island in the Fijian archipelago, Laucala offers 25 guest villas that deliver a five-star experience in an idyllic tropical setting. The resort’s commitment to sustainability and farm-to-table dining helps create an authentic, high-quality stay for guests seeking both luxury and local flavor.
