Likuliku Lagoon

Tucked away in Fiji's idyllic Mamanuca Islands, on a pristine white sand beach fringed with a crystal clear turquoise lagoon, this heavenly retreat (which opened its doors in May 2007) is Fiji's newest luxury resort - and home to her first Overwater Bures.

This wonderful gem  effortlessly blends stylish design with beautiful Fijian architecture. The ten beautiful thatched roofed Overwater Bures are elegant and stylish in their design, featuring rich fabrics, local artwork, glass panels in the floor to view the underwater world below and spacious decks with steps leading directly into the crystal lagoon. Equally as stylish as their Overwater counterparts, the other 36 bures nestle along the beachfront and in the gardens - these boast outdoor showers and a deck complete with a relaxing daybed. The Deluxe Beachfront Bures have the added advantage of a plunge pool on the deck.

Whether you laze in the spectacular horizon-edge swimming pool taking in the views of the distant islands, indulge in soothing treatments in the Tatadra Spa (which aptly means 'House of Dreams') or simply revel in the luxuriousness of your bure and the beauty of the setting, relaxation comes all too easily at Likuliku. Should you feel like being active, catamarans, kayaks, windsurfers and snorkelling gear are provided for guests's use and there is a dive centre on-site. Visits to the local village can be arranged and there are also bush walks and nature trails on the island which will reward you with spectacular views.

All meals are including in your stay - the menu changes daily in a mini dégustation style for lunch and dinner, with a focus on exquisite Pacific Rim flavours. The Dua Tale bar (which means 'one more' in Fijian) is the perfect place to enjoy a pre or post dinner drink or relax with a good book during the day and the Masima Bar a great spot for a sunset drink whilst taking in the stunning lagoon views.

Likuliku is just a 10 minute seaplane or helicopter transfer from Nadi (on Fiji's main island). Children under 17 years old are not catered for.
