Taveuni Island Resort

This superb resort is located on the northern island of Taveuni, (The Garden Island), an easy 90 minute flight from Nadi. Nestled in 7 acres of beautifully landscaped flower gardens, bordered by white sandy beaches, Taveuni Island Resort offers spectacular panoramic views of the Ocean - Somosomo Straits.

This Fiji accommodation has 12 beautifully appointed bures plus 1 luxury oceanfront villa accommodating just 28 guests at the resort at one given time. All accommodation types are incredibly romantic and perfect for honeymooners or couples wishing to celebrate a special occasion or enjoy a romantic interlude.

The diving on Taveuni is exceptional. Wake in the morning and stroll down to the pure, crystalline water for the first snorkel of the day or take a rainforest or waterfall walk before breakfast and a morning massage.

Taveuni Resort is not a 'disco-wild-night-life' island. It's a large, tropical island with lush rainforests and 140 waterfalls and streams. (It's where the second Blue Lagoon movie was made and you can walk there to swim and play in two waterfalls). There are around 25 staff members at the resort to care for guests, and they are part of the island 'family'.

Please note that Taveuni Island Resort and Spa operates exclusively for guests over the age of 15.
