Taveuni Island Resort & Spa

Tavenui Island Resort and Spa is a special place that we will hold dear to our heart. All of the team is exceptional and makes you feel at home and cared for. The location is beautiful with great views of the sea from most of the bures and all of the common areas with lots of pretty tropical vegetation adorning the hillsides. Our Bure was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a lovely patio and 2 lounge chairs in the front. Storm, the manager, is very responsive to all emails prior to our trip and to all our requests while we were there. Millie took care of us during meals most of the time and she was like a gentle ray of sunshine. There are 2 choices for each meal fish or a meat and I believe they also prepare vegetarian meals upon request. We really enjoyed their various vegetable soups. There is a house reef for snorkeling. The area is very shallow and had little current when we were there. We found it best to go out by the rocks to the right of the kayaks. The reef itself is quite a distance from the shore and you must swim through a shallow area of sea grass first. The best reef is to the right of the resort at about 10 feet of depth. If you plan to do a lot of snorkeling in that area I would recommend bringing your own equipment (especially mask and snorkel) as the resort has limited selections. We dove the Rainbow Reef every day but the last day and did not experience a lot of the other tours offered in Tavenui nor did we use the kayaks. We highly recommend Tavenui Ocean Sports for diving and they do send a van to pick up divers at 730am every morning. Please remember that this is a remote island and things move on Fiji time. It is not like the 4 Seasons in a big city nor would we want it to be. There may be minor inconveniences. We loved it and plan to return again. L and D

This resort is amazing! Beautiful views of the ocean. The staff were fantastic - very friendly, efficient, and accommodating. Our room was very large and laid out in a great, functional way. The food was fantastic! We loved the entire stay! Airport transport was included as well.

We had the most incredible stay at Taveuni Island Resort. You have never met more friendly people at the resort and on the island in general. We were upgraded to a gorgeous ocean view villa. Beautiful and comfortable. The food was excellent and the island had so many activities to offer-scuba, snorkeling, sea kayaking, hiking to waterfalls. The front desk arranged everything and on our excursions made us top notch picnics with silverware and napkins. Raymond, June, Millie and Rick made our time at the resort unforgettable. We could not have asked for better accommodations, activities or relaxation. This gorgeous place had it all. Thank you!! We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful hotel ..... We had a great six nights at this hotel - the staff was great!!!

We had a lovely time staying at this resort, so perfect, relaxing and beautiful. The staff were all exceptional, kind and accommodating. We will definitely be coming back to this lovely resort and beautiful island.

I’ve never written a review for anything in my life, but I want everyone to know how exceptional and touching Taveuni Island Resort & Spa is. If you’re looking for intimate, private luxury, please consider this island and resort. Ric and Dorthy, the owners, are beautiful loving people for whom I’ll hold in my heart for the rest of my life. Please let me explain. My family arrived in Taveuni in March 2024. Ric and Dorthy immediately made us feel like family by sharing stories between mowing the lawn or working the front office. My son (10) got open water certified and Ric was so happy that he gave my son a patch from his diving company. We felt welcomed like no other resort we’ve been to. Being American, my son ordered a hamburger and fries for every meal (rolls eyes). The resort accommodated every request with grace, while us parents apologized for the ketchup consumption :). On our eighth day we got a call from home that a death in the family was imminent. As usual, the resort supported us with grace beyond expectations. Challenges like this is when the true nature of an organization comes out. I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much Taveuni Island Resort. Our trip was cut short but we will be back. You are deserve all of the accolades you get!
