Diving

The quality of the scuba diving sites around this island paradise has been one of the South Pacific’s well-kept secrets for many years, and only recently has it been revealed as one of the premier dive destinations in the region.

It is the only five star island resort in Fiji with a PADI (“Golden Palm” status) dive facility and resident instructors. The resort offers a variety of courses: ‘Resort’ courses, full ‘Open Water’ certification courses, and various specialty courses. We can offer a cross-section of diving possibilities: soft coral, hard coral and pelagics.

Underwater visibility ranges from above average to excellent and there are few currents. The island is surrounded by deep water with large ‘drop-offs’, offering twenty-two dive sites within fifteen minutes’ travel. There are no better circumstances to take your first steps into the exhilarating world beneath the sea.

Location

The largest Fiji Island is Viti Levu, and on the Western side of this island lies Nadi International Airport, just six hours’ flying time south-west of Hawaii or four hours north-east of Sydney, Australia. This Island paradise is situated 25 minutes by light aircraft from Nadi International Airport.

Temperatures range from 20-30 deg. C (70-90 deg. F). The warmest and most humid months are December to March. Qantas/Air Pacific and Air New Zealand are the main international air service providers, each with non-stop flights between Los Angeles and Fiji.

Weddings

For many career-minded couples, organising a wedding takes such enormous effort that the idea of ‘eloping’ can be very attractive, especially when the wedding can take place in this romantic setting.

The service is usually held on the beach at sunset, in a ‘church’ with doors and windows created from plaited coconut leaves and flowers. Traditionally dressed Fijian warriors accompany the bride on a barge trip across the lagoon, and children toss flower petals in the sand as she is carried ashore to take her vows. The ceremony is accompanied by the mellow voices of a village choir raised in sublime harmony.

Wedding ceremonies on the Island are not merely ‘show business’ however. The vows are solemnised by a Fijian minister, and because of their popularity, we limit them to three a month. All the guests are invited: they participate in champagne toasts, the traditional Kava ceremony, a native feast cooked in pits in the ground, and later enjoy the villagers’ genuine ceremonial dances. For all concerned, a wedding on this stunning Island is the fantasy of a lifetime come true.

Food

The Island is well recognised for its food, ranging from Californian to Thai, Japanese, Austral/Asian and Indian - in fact, any style that suits our glorious tropical climate and laid back lifestyle.

Fresh ingredients are flown in daily from Australia and New Zealand. Because of our all inclusive tariff, there are ample opportunities to sample the contents of our first class cellar, including unlimited French champagne!

In the welcoming warm weather, meals are taken on a terrace outside our large central pavilion overlooking the lagoon. By night, tables are set under the stars and lit by lanterns and candlelight. At full moon, the ‘dining room’ is usually set by the water's edge. Dining is usually communal, and hosted by the management - in the style of the Captain's table on a ship. However, don’t imagine that we ignore that special occasion or the chance to have a romantic dinner for two. There are many options for private dinners, our wine cellar, in 'The Folly', or on the beach with moon and lantern light.
