Own products
-
Essence of Fiji is another sister company, and it is under this label that we produce skin-care products under the brands, Essence of Fiji and Nama Fiji, and these products are stocked in all Senikai Spas. Base products for these brands are obtained from the Yasawa & Mamanuca groups.
-
Virgin coconut oil, ground coconut shells, and plant extracts generate the products under the ‘Essence of Fiji’ range of skincare products.
-
Marine extracts, in the form of seaweed, emerge from the tranquil oceans of Fiji. Called ‘Nama’, this seaweed is the iron source highly sought after as a new tide arises in skin rejuvenation under the ‘Nama of Fiji’ brand.
-
Most importantly, we manage the stocks for the Spa, and as they are manufactured locally, they are readily available.

About Debra Sadranu
About Debra Sadranu
Debra Sadranu is undoubtedly one of the pioneers of the Fiji & Beauty Spa Industry. Her investment in founding the Spa Academy 20 years ago, and having the vision to expand her business through Senikai Spas, and now the Essence of Fiji Rejuvenation Centre, warrants recognition for the immense contribution she has made to the Fiji Tourism Industry.
Winning the Visionary Aon Excellence in Tourism Award in 2011, and the 2015 Business Woman of the Year, recognises Debra’s efforts in providing the Spa Tourism Industry with expertise and recruitment. Debra prides herself in providing training and employment, and creating career paths for thousands of local women.
As the Director/Principal of Spa Academy Fiji she introduced a loan scheme to assist students from lower income families for their tuition. Her desire for empowering women and giving back to the community includes on-going sponsorship with training for 30 women from Sabeto for Tifajek mud pools, scholarships for women who have not had the means to pursue a career in the spa industry, training for disabled women, an annual visit to the Lautoka old aged care home for a day of spa treatments, proceeds to Apimeleki Vakarau a disabled artist, commissioned through Tokani Arts for the artwork on the company’s product packaging, and a pet spa range giving royalties to the animal shelter.After creating a spa product range formulated and produced in Fiji containing local natural plant and marine extracts, and designed for their Academy and local spas, the company has now commenced with exporting internationally. Debra has established village enterprise through harvesting of local extracts for her product manufacturing. The beneficial seaweeds used for her skin care range are harvested from the Mamanuca region, combatting the problem of seaweed overgrowth and related environmental issues.
With her latest company expansion, Essence of Fiji - Rejuvenation Centre, which provides Fiji's tourism Industry with a unique spa tourism experience and transit lounge, also housing their Spa Academy and product manufacturing, Debra has taken Spa Tourism to a whole new level. Debra’s continuous focus to improve on the products and services her company offers within Fiji and the Pacific, with particular emphasis on promoting Fijian made items, will help to put Fiji on the map globally.
