Taveuni Island Resort & Spa

Tavenui Island Resort and Spa is a special place that we will hold dear to our heart. All of the team is exceptional and makes you feel at home and cared for. The location is beautiful with great views of the sea from most of the bures and all of the common areas with lots of pretty tropical vegetation adorning the hillsides. Our Bure was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a lovely patio and 2 lounge chairs in the front. Storm, the manager, is very responsive to all emails prior to our trip and to all our requests while we were there. Millie took care of us during meals most of the time and she was like a gentle ray of sunshine. There are 2 choices for each meal fish or a meat and I believe they also prepare vegetarian meals upon request. We really enjoyed their various vegetable soups. There is a house reef for snorkeling. The area is very shallow and had little current when we were there. We found it best to go out by the rocks to the right of the kayaks. The reef itself is quite a distance from the shore and you must swim through a shallow area of sea grass first. The best reef is to the right of the resort at about 10 feet of depth. If you plan to do a lot of snorkeling in that area I would recommend bringing your own equipment (especially mask and snorkel) as the resort has limited selections. We dove the Rainbow Reef every day but the last day and did not experience a lot of the other tours offered in Tavenui nor did we use the kayaks. We highly recommend Tavenui Ocean Sports for diving and they do send a van to pick up divers at 730am every morning. Please remember that this is a remote island and things move on Fiji time. It is not like the 4 Seasons in a big city nor would we want it to be. There may be minor inconveniences. We loved it and plan to return again. L and D

My partner and I stayed at the Resort for 1 week and were so impressed. The views are beautiful, the gardens are lush, the food is tasty, and the atmosphere is so peaceful. What makes this 5 stars are the staff. From the moment we booked, Storm took amazing care of us, anticipating our needs in advance. She is absolutely amazing, and could teach courses in Hospitality. Raymond and the team provided incredible service at the restaurant, personalising our experience and ensuring we were as relaxed as possible. We look forward to returning!! Vinaka xo

We had the most incredible stay at Taveuni Island Resort. You have never met more friendly people at the resort and on the island in general. We were upgraded to a gorgeous ocean view villa. Beautiful and comfortable. The food was excellent and the island had so many activities to offer-scuba, snorkeling, sea kayaking, hiking to waterfalls. The front desk arranged everything and on our excursions made us top notch picnics with silverware and napkins. Raymond, June, Millie and Rick made our time at the resort unforgettable. We could not have asked for better accommodations, activities or relaxation. This gorgeous place had it all. Thank you!! We can’t wait to return.

My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Taveuni resort. The food they prepared for all the meals was really good. And they made our anniversary dinner and evening special for us, even serenading us with a traditional fun song. We really liked the staff. They were friendly, warm, very helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They really made the experience very special. A raincoat would have been very handy at times, and the staff loaned us with an umbrella for use when needed. The cottage we stayed in was very nice and the view spectacular. In fact, the view most anywhere we went was beautiful, spectacular. The staff arranged drivers for us when we went places, and the drivers were informative and nice. We were driven to a parking area near Bouma Falls, and we took about a 15-minute walk to the first waterfall, which is lovely, and we waded and swam in it. We also went to a Catholic Church which was built about 170 years ago. The stained-glass windows were beautiful, and the statues were impressive. The shore is close, and we enjoyed seeing fish and sea creatures in the tide pools. There were also interesting sea creatures under the rocks we turned over.

We had a lovely time staying at this resort, so perfect, relaxing and beautiful. The staff were all exceptional, kind and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back to this lovely resort and beautiful island.
