South of Fiji’s largest island, Viti Levu, and accessible via a 25 minute light aircraft flight from Nadi, this stunning jungle-clad tropical island faces directly on to the South Pacific Ocean but is protected by a magnificent barrier reef which forms an extensive lagoon in front of the resort. There are 18 bures located on the dazzling white sand beach (which is one of the best in Fiji, if not the world) – and each features an array of personal comforts including flat-screen TV’s, DVD players, sound systems, well-stocked wine fridges and airconditioning. Some bures also have a private pool. Aptly named ‘Vale Viqi’ (meaning 'Pink House'), Vatulele’s honeymoon bure revels in its idyllic seclusion at the very far end of the beach. Painted a vibrant pink and yellow, this unique intimate bure provides a very special romantic retreat for newly-weds! It also has its own private plunge pool and dedicated butler service. Perched on a cliff edge overlooking the beach and lagoon, Vatulele’s exclusive premium villa – The Point – is built over two levels and boasts two pools, dedicated staff and commanding views over the beach and the lagoon. If you are seeking the ultimate indulgence with absolute privacy – then The Point is it! All meals, non-alcoholic beverages and all activities except scuba diving and massage are included in the tariff. Apart from the resort, the only other inhabitants of the island live in four villages. Most of the staff come from the villages and their natural gentleness and good humour captivates Vatulele guests. The beauty of Vatulele’s enviable location is coupled with its unique architectural style which includes a wide range of ‘hand-made’ details. Each bure opens on to an expansive terrace and from the living room, you walk up three steps to the bedroom which has a kingsize bed and dressing area. Vatulele’s laid-back style has been described as ‘barefoot chic’ – shoes are not even required for meals although most guests like to ‘dress up’ a little for the starlit dinners. Vatulele is famous for its food – at night, tables are set under the stars and are lit by lanterns and candlelight. The crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkelling, sailing, fishing and diving. There is also a tennis court. Escorted hikes into the jungle – and visits to the local villages can easily be arranged – and you can even play Robinson Crusoe for a day on nearby intimate ‘Nooki Nooki Island’ – so-named by a previous Vatulele guest!
