Travellers chasing the quintessential island experience find their nirvana in Tauveni, the third-largest island in Fiji and yet still a virtually untouched paradise. Adorned in thick, lush rainforest and fringed by coral reef teeming with marine life, the island beckons pleasure seekers keen for the chance to relax while at one with nature. Countless waterfalls, traditional villages and pearl farms mean there is no limit on just how many intriguing experiences this small package can provide.

The Hotel

Set on a privately-owned section of rainforest, Sau Bay is a small collection of cottages and tents centred around tranquillity, luxury and romance.

Duos are greeted with a tropical welcome drink on arrival at the retreat and are shown to their lodgings. The ocean front studios combine beachy chic style with Fijian flavour for an overall boutique experience reflected in amenities like an outdoor shower, granite wet bar and decadent king-sized bed.

Travellers recline in the private hammock or gaze over the sea from the decking, preparing a coffee at the French press or munching on homemade in-room snacks. Each day guests are treated to a tropical breakfast, which fills bellies up and fuels bodies for hours of relaxing or experiencing the very best of Fiji.

Countless experiences on the doorstep of Sau Bay means globetrotters needn’t venture too far to quench their thirst for adventure. Many walking trails and hikes are ready to be conquered, be it through the rainforest, up to heights of more than 600 feet or along white sand bays. The retreat is just 10 minutes from the world-renowned Rainbow Reef, where peeps can scuba or snorkel to their hearts content while meeting local marine life in myriad shapes and colours.

Folks can also choose to stay on top of the water by hiring a kayak or dinghy to chug out into deserted inlets. Further afield, Taveuni itself offers up a wealth of different activities from the natural to the relaxing. Travellers can hop from one waterfall to the next while looking out for birdlife and bright flowers, or take a guided tour around a local pearl farm. Those who would rather just sit back and be pampered can visit one of a number of day spas to indulge in beautifying treatments performed with traditional Fijian flair.

 

Reviews

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing week at the retreat in March, 2013 as part of a scuba diving experience. The staff were very friendly and accomodated our every need. The food was excellent and the service was above and beyond.

The most amazing place to relax. You can do nothing or be busy with snorkeling, swimming, hiking or visiting locals. All is very well organized by Carol and Nigel and their wonderful staff.
