Luxury Resorts in Fiji: What to Look For

Fiji enjoys an incredible tropical climate in the South Pacific. Here the temperature tends to hover between 75°F and 85°F, days are filled with sunshine, and nights lit by the stars. Warm seawater provides the perfect accompaniment to this beautiful weather. In Fiji, visitors find a constant summer that encourages outdoor exploration and relaxation. And it is easy to see why Fiji’s weather is a top reason to choose the archipelago as a holiday destination.

So, why would anyone visit Fiji and not spend the majority of their time outdoors?

Selection of the wrong luxury resort in Fiji can hamper the availability and desirability of spending a vacation outside. Most hotels lack privacy and peace in their communal spaces, while other resorts focus all their creature comforts on indoor spaces and guestrooms. When looking at resorts in Fiji, a property that provides ample, secluded outdoor space, like Raiwasa, should quickly make its way to the top of your list.

Plenty of Space to Kick Back

Raiwasa was designed to provide the height of luxury and comfort to every guest, but we believe Fiji’s natural elements are very much a part of the luxury found on these islands. With this in mind, some of the best spots to kick back and relax at Raiwasa are found outdoors.

There is no shortage of places to unwind near the water. The property features a comfortable bure and reclining deck chairs alongside the mirror-edged infinity pool, and not far away is a secluded hammock for reading or napping. Likewise, at the ocean’s edge guests can find another covered bure, ideal for resting after a morning of paddle boarding or kayaking across Fiji’s gorgeous water. Likewise, the Raiwasa staff is happy to arrange a beach bonfire or late night drink at this quite and calm beach spot.

A highlight among Raiwasa’s outdoor spaces is the spacious veranda and wrap-around deck that capitalize on the view from the property. A slight breeze keeps you comfortable whether you catch up on conversation, read a good book, or simply enjoy the view from one of the many seating areas and outdoor couches. The veranda also features one of Raiwasa’s unique outdoor options; the egg chair is simply the best place to welcome a new day in Fiji.

Move Your Daily Routine Outside

The layout of Raiwasa is certainly ideal for doing nothing at all. However, the resort was designed to be functional for any number of activities and experiences. For example, the veranda provides the perfect open space to practice yoga or meditate in the morning. Alternatively, have an afternoon snack arranged in the pool bure or a spa treatment overlooking the ocean. The three-acre property is filled with garden paths to explore before the sun starts its slow descent.

Even a shower or bubble bath can be experienced outside, as the bedrooms feature entirely private and lavish, outdoor honeymoon showers and baths.

Unexpected Beauty on a Stunning Island

Perched high above Taveuni’s coastline and the colorful Somosomo Strait, it is hardly a wonder that Raiwasa’s location affords incredible views. Within these 180° views, visitors can feast their eyes on the clearest water, catch sight of favorite marine life, marvel at Fiji’s tropical jungle, and even spot some of Fiji’s outer islands. Sunset is, as expected, a real treat. However, what few guests anticipate is the awe-inspiring show that Mother Nature performs overnight at Raiwasa.

Tavenui sits on the 180th parallel in the middle of the South Pacific, an ideal location to witness incredible night skies. Raiwasa’s secluded location, away from the bright lights of any city or town, does the rest. The clarity and ambiance of the stars from Raiwasa is show-stopping, and star gazing has become a favorite activity at the resort.

All of Raiwasa’s outdoor spaces make for peaceful places to simply look at the stars, although the recliners are especially recommended.

Book Your Fiji Vacation

When it comes to Raiwasa’s outdoor spaces and natural surroundings, words and photographs only paint part of the picture. This is a place that must be experienced to be fully appreciated, and now is your chance to see it for yourself. To book, contact Raiwasa through our website or by email at [email protected].
