Located just 10 minutes from Savusavu Airport on the island of Vanua Levu, the Savasi Island Resort offers a distinct departure from the larger, more traditional resort hubs of Fiji. Set across a 52-acre private island, the property balances a chic ‘barefoot luxury’ aesthetic with the raw, natural wonders of the Koro Sea. For travellers seeking a refined alternative to… the mainstream, Savasi Island provides a VR-level ‘unreal beauty’ defined by startling limestone outcrops, glittering turquoise waters, and tropical gardens.
It’s a barefoot luxury resort that holds its own on the international stage, promising an unrivalled experience for a blissful couples’ getaway, honeymoon, or family retreat.
The resort’s collection of boutique villas is thoughtfully integrated into the island’s unique geological landscape. These villas are elevated to capture refreshing sea breezes and offer sweeping vistas of the ocean, with each featuring a private plunge pool. The architectural style emphasises local craftsmanship, utilising sustainable timbers and natural materials that reflect genuine Fijian heritage.
Among the diverse offerings, the Clifftop Villas are specifically designed to command 180-degree ocean views from their rocky perches. For those seeking a dramatic sense of arrival, the Waterfall Villa features stepping stones across a private lily pond with a cascading waterfall, creating a truly memorable tropical hideaway. Each villa is a proto-hidden sanctuary away from the typical tourist crowds milling around mainstream resorts, ensuring a level of privacy that ranks among the best boutique options in the South Pacific.
A standout feature that distinguishes Savasi within the international luxury market is Savasi Serenity, a 144-foot three-masted schooner permanently moored in the island’s marina. This nautical accommodation allows guests to stay aboard a grand vessel while enjoying full access to all resort amenities. The staterooms and penthouses on board, such as the Bridge Deck Penthouse, incorporate original ship features like the helm alongside contemporary Fijian design. This offering provides a unique alternative for travellers who appreciate maritime history without sacrificing the comforts of a high-end land-based resort.
