Marriott Golf, the Global Golf Division of Marriott International, Inc., has added two new resort golf facilities in the South Pacific region to its “premier collection” of worldwide managed properties.

The Denarau Fiji Golf and Racquet Club, near Nadi, Fiji, and the Sheraton New Caledonia Deva Resort & Spa, in Bourail, New Caledonia, have joined Marriott Golf’s managed property portfolio.This expansion comes on the heels of Marriott International, Inc.’s acquisition and integration of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., according to the company.

The Denarau Golf & Racquet Club features an 18-hole Championship golf course, which offers views of the South Pacific Ocean. The 7,150 yard design offers water hazards in play on 15 of its 18 holes. The Sheraton New Caledonia Deva Resort & Spa is home to the first Dye Design golf course in the Oceania region, a 7,302 yard championship layout.

“Fiji and New Caledonia are truly unique island environments, worthy of a special trip to experience an amazing region of the planet. With high quality golf, resort amenities, and the incredible hospitality in these locations, it’s a real change of pace for today’s traveler,” says Jim Keane, senior director, Golf Operations & Development Planning, Marriott International, Inc.

To fall in line with Marriott’s commitment to environmental stewardship, the Company plans to pursue certification through the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program, and any future eco-friendly programs adopted by Marriott Golf, according to a press release.
