"A 500-acre beachfront property celebrated for its striking natural beauty and active conservation program, including an in-house marine biologist and guest opportunities to plant coral and mangroves. The resort offers abundant water activities, swimming, a swim-up bar, a private island, and a robust cultural program that contributed to its inclusion on a recent Where to Go list." - Tim Chester, Judy Koutsky
"Set along a largely undeveloped stretch of Fiji coast, this waterfront property feels intimate and uncrowded thanks to a high acreage-to-accommodation ratio and ownership of extensive coastline; guests often spend more time in, on, or under the water than on land. Snorkeling off the hotel’s private island reveals warm, hot-tub-like water, colorful reefs and tame tropical fish that readily approach snorkelers, while boat excursions commonly include playful dolphins riding the wake. Activities include dawn stand-up paddleboarding among hawksbill turtles, kayaking above glimmering manta rays, and easy reef access just steps from shore; guests also enjoy a beachside hot tub, private villa pools (one with “Bula Tim” spelled in stones), nearby rivers and waterfalls, and intimate entertainment and service from knowledgeable local staff. Fijian culture is woven into the property’s design and programming, with traditional carvings and magimagi bindings, plus curated experiences such as a Fijian food safari, basket weaving, and a formal kava ceremony; an attentive kids’ program offers full-day staffed activities like raft building and traditional cooking." - Tim Chester
"Later, back at the sprawling Nanuku Resort Fiji on Viti Levu's south coast, where I was staying, I would have a private kava ceremony of my own. Organized by the resort's cultural ambassador, an iTaukei man named Josua Cakautini, it was performed by four burly, bare-chested men who sat around a huge wooden bowl, in which they prepared the kava."
"A beachfront suite with a pool costs just $692 a night at the Readers' Choice Award-winning Nanuku, Auberge Resorts Collection during February; in May, prices shoot up to more than $1,000 per night. Plus, the hotel has plenty of activities if it rains, from prawn cooking classes and boxing lessons to spa treatments."
