Savasi Island Resort

Highlighted for successive years as Fiji’s No. 1 Small Hotel, the Savasi Island Resort in Savusavu offers travellers what Lonely Planet appropriately called ‘seclusion, scenery and getting spoiled senseless’.

Set on its own 52-acre island, the resort boasts of lush forests, gardens, hills and swathes of crystal-clear seas. Of course, to enjoy it all the resort pampers its guests with just 10 luxuriously-appointed villas. The island of Vanua Levu is less highlighted than its mainland cousin Viti Levu, leaving the natural beauty pristine and what Fiji’s beauty was 50 years ago before mass-market tourism stepped in. Besides the famed Rainbow Reef, the private island boasts of turquoise waters, numerous sandy beaches and fantastic flora and fauna that begs for hours of exploring.

Despite the hype and the glamour, getting here is easy. After landing at Fiji’s Nadi International Airport, travellers have to go to the domestic terminal and fly to Savusavu. After disembarking, it’s a ten-minute cab ride across the island and a short boat-ride to reach the resort’s private island.

The Savasi Island Resort offers 10 villas and a unique floating accommodation for its guests. Each of the villas are unique where it comes to views – some are perched on the island’s clifftops, some are facing the lagoon and some, like the Coral Villa and the Beach House have simply jaw-dropping visuals of the island and the Pacific Ocean. All are constructed using locally-sourced hardwood, limestone, volcanic rock and plaited palm fronds. In each of the villas, guests are pampered with king-size beds, ensuite bathrooms, split-level villa design with open-plan bedroom and living space. Outside, all villas have a covered porch, outdoor furniture and a private pool.

Besides the above, the resort also has a ‘wow’ factor up its sleeve. The decommissioned Tui Tai cruise ship has been permanently moored at the island marina and converted into a luxurious ‘floating’ accommodation called the Serenity. It offers five luxury split-king staterooms across the schooner’s two levels. Guests can also enjoy the onboard jacuzzi, cinema room, conference facilities, lounge bar and stateroom.

The activities on tap at the Savasi Resort are myriad and a short list can be checked at the Things to Do. To decide how long you’ll be staying here is dependent on how many activities and experiences you want to indulge in – and there are so many! Also, there are bespoke experiences which you can have anywhere else. So there’s that. Just saying.

The dining at Savasi Island is as bespoke as its activities. Your personal chef will cook up a daily-changing menu or just whip up whatever you feel like having. In a choice of venues, too. Want to have a beachfront dining experience on Tuesday? Should Wednesday be celebrated with a candle-lit dinner in a secluded cavern? And if Thursday feels like lazing around, then in-villa it is. Of course, the resort does have the Reef Dining Room & bar, which is fantastic in its own right. Choices, choices…
