BRUSSELS, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Radisson Hotel Group is pleased to announce the signing of Mana Island Resort & Spa Fiji, a member of Radisson Individuals, marking a significant milestone in the Group's South Pacific expansion and reinforcing its growing presence in Fiji's resort market.
Set on the idyllic shores of Mana Island in Fiji's celebrated Mamanuca archipelago, the resort enjoys a prime island setting renowned for turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and year-round sunshine. Mana Island is approximately 90 minutes by boat from Port Denarau Marina and around 20 minutes by seaplane from Nadi International Airport, offering convenient access while retaining a true sense of escape.
Danilo Curcuruto, Director, Development, Australasia, Radisson Hotel Group, says: "Fiji remains one of the South Pacific's most desirable resort destinations, and Mana Island is one of its most iconic island locations. We are delighted to welcome Mana Island Resort & Spa Fiji into our Radisson Individuals portfolio. This signing reflects our continued focus on expanding our resort footprint in high-potential leisure destinations while offering owners flexible brand solutions that preserve a property's unique identity and unlock the power of Radisson's global reach."
The 160-key resort will undergo a comprehensive refurbishment and repositioning to create an upscale island resort experience that seamlessly blends contemporary design, authentic Fijian character, and immersive nature-led experiences. The project is expected to open under the Radisson Individuals brand following completion of the remodeling in late 2027.
The resort will feature a diverse mix of guest rooms, suites, and beachfront villas, complemented by multiple dining venues, bars, swimming pools, spa and wellness facilities, a fitness centre, a kids' club, and event spaces. The offering is designed to appeal to leisure travelers, couples, families, and small-scale groups seeking a relaxed yet elevated island lifestyle.
Radisson Individuals is Radisson Hotel Group's collection brand for distinctive hotels that celebrate their individuality while benefiting from Radisson's global distribution, loyalty platform, and operational expertise.
"We are excited to partner with Radisson Hotel Group and align Mana Island Resort & Spa Fiji with the Radisson Individuals brand," adds Hiro Osuka, owner of Mana Island Resort & Spa Fiji, "Radisson's global reach, strong distribution platform, and experience in lifestyle and resort hospitality will support our vision to elevate Mana Island into a leading upscale island resort that delivers a compelling experience for guests from around the world."
This signing represents Radisson Hotel Group's third resort in Fiji, joining Radisson Blu Resort, Fiji Denarau Island and the Radisson Blu Mirage Resort, Fiji Naisoso Island, currently under construction.
The announcement follows Radisson Hotel Group's recent signing of a resort in Samoa, further demonstrating the Group's ongoing commitment to strategic expansion across Australasia and the Pacific, where the Group continues to build a strong pipeline across its core brands.

Radisson Hotel Group Expands its Fiji Portfolio with the Signing of Mana Island Resort & Spa Fiji, a member of Radisson Individuals
TAIPEI, March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- HD Renewable Energy (TPEX: 6873), a leading international smart energy company, announced that its Helios 50MW grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Hokkaido, Japan, has secured project financing of approximately JPY 5.4 billion.
The financing was arranged with the support of Nomura Capital Investment and Nomura Securities, and raised through a green project bond, marking Japan's first green project bond backed by grid-scale battery storage assets. The transaction highlights growing interest from global capital markets in energy storage infrastructure and market-driven power trading models.
The financing adopts a project finance trust beneficiary right structure (ABL), with the HDRE Group serving as the asset manager. The Helios project operates under a merchant model, generating revenue primarily through electricity trading in Japan's wholesale power market (JEPX) and balancing market (EPRX).
Unlike renewable projects that rely on subsidies or long-term fixed-price contracts, merchant battery storage projects have revenue streams directly linked to market prices, making them a more challenging asset class for traditional project finance. Through a structured operational and cash-flow management framework, the project successfully secured long-term financing with a maturity of up to 19 years, representing an important milestone for battery storage financing in Japan.
As renewable energy penetration continues to rise in Japan, demand for flexible dispatch and grid balancing resources is increasing. Grid-scale battery storage is emerging as a critical infrastructure component to support grid stability and enable higher renewable integration. However, project finance markets have historically favored assets with predictable cash flows, such as FIT-supported projects. Battery storage projects, whose revenues depend on electricity market conditions, have therefore seen relatively limited long-term financing. The successful issuance of the Helios green project bond demonstrates growing investor confidence in energy storage assets and market-based electricity trading models.
"The successful financing of the Helios project marks an important step in establishing a viable financial framework for battery storage assets in Japan," said Jason Chou, General Manager of HD Renewable Energy. "It also reflects increasing market confidence in power trading-driven business models. As our storage portfolio continues to expand, we will further integrate asset operations with power trading capabilities to enhance the flexibility and value of energy asset management."
The Helios BESS project, with a capacity of 50MW, is already participating in Japan's electricity markets and conducting power trading operations. The project is expected to gradually participate in the balancing market and capacity market to further enhance asset performance.
The project has received BBB investment-grade credit and green bond ratings from Rating and Investment Information, Inc. (R&I) and has also obtained a Second-Party Opinion (SPO) confirming its alignment with Green Bond Principles. Going forward, HDRE will continue to strengthen cooperation with international financial institutions including the Nomura Group, while advancing integrated operations of battery storage and power assets and expanding its smart energy footprint in Japan.
