Plan Your Taveuni Vacation in Style

When planning a trip to Fiji, you want it to be the best possible experience. Whether your Taveuni vacation is a celebration or a getaway, you are going to find a top-notch experience and noticeable difference when you choose a private resort for your accommodation.

Of course, these exceptional properties and villas, such as Raiwasa, offer a lot more privacy than found at other hotels and resorts, but the level of guest services and hospitality are elevated as well. Even the small, thoughtful differences you find at a private resort can lead to exponential improvements over the course of a Taveuni holiday. Keep reading to learn four ways private properties are a step above other types of accommodation.

#1: Experiences Are the Top Priority

A private resort can be invested in luxury and opulence. These properties often provide upscale amenities such as personal staff and included transportation, but these indulgent amenities are part of a much larger focus. Private resorts understand that experiences will be the features that guests remember when they walk away. And experiences are entirely personal.

To this end, the best private resorts are motivated to offer a set of amenities, experiences, adventures, and excursions that can be altered or arranged around a guest’s preferences. There are no set schedules or meeting times, and nothing is required. However, when a guest does decide to explore the reef or adventure through the jungle, a top private resort ensures the best guides and safest companies handle these experiences.

#2: Staff Is Focused on Personalization

Many resorts want to provide the best. This means taking care of details, such as providing the best towels for their showers and the best sheets on their beds. It means specialty bars of soap and craft coffee on the minibar. At Raiwasa, we no doubt go to great lengths to ensure our property has the best of everything, but we understand that accompanying these lovely touches should be an emphasis on personalizing the guest experience right down to the most granular detail.

For instance, at Raiwasa our private chef is a culinary wizard. He carefully plans each meal at Raiwasa based on the likes, dislikes and desires of that week’s guests. Whether it is a dietary restriction or preference, he considers every request before putting together a dish. Whether you want to sample a specific local dish or have breakfast food for dinner – you only need to ask.

Further, these meals are served where and when a guest desires. Raiwasa has six separate dining locations that range from cozy couch settings to stunning evening spaces that overlook the South Pacific. And feel free to linger over these incredible culinary creations, because at Raiwasa, no one waiting for your table.

#3: Activities Are at Your Doorstep

While on a Taveuni vacation, you don’t want to work hard to find something to occupy an afternoon. Whether you want to spend it in relaxation or rejuvenation, working out or hardly working at all – a private resort will have an ideal activity on the property. Kayaks, yoga mats, walking paths, and hammocks, they can all be found here, and unlike at crowded hotels, the only demand for the equipment is from you!

#4: You Are More Than a Room Number

Have you ever stayed at a large hotel or resort and before you sit down to breakfast the staff clarifies, “What’s your room number?” Later, you are ordering drinks on the beach, and again the question, “And what’s your room number?” Stopping by the resort restaurant for a relaxed dinner, and someone will want to know, “What’s your room number?”

Soon 425 is certain to feel more like your name and credit card number, than simply a room number. More troubling is that this number becomes the only way staff sees and interacts with guests. It becomes acceptable, maybe even necessary, for the people providing hospitality to learn nothing more about their guests than that single number – and there is always another number that will follow in three or five minutes.

A private resort is just the opposite. The staff at Raiwasa are magicians of service, and able to seamlessly provide exceptional service the exact minute you need it, but allow immense privacy when you don’t. Also, from the first day, we promise to address you by name and never need to ask for a room number.
