Traveling to a Beach Resort in Fiji

Anyone who travels to Fiji for a luxury vacation is undoubtedly planning to spend some time lounging on the sand. After all, on islands across the Fijian archipelago, you can find some nice beaches. However, if you are traveling to a beach resort in Fiji or private resort property in Fiji, be prepared to be wowed by more than the beaches. When you explore the crystal clear water around Fiji, you’ll experience fantastic colors and corals, incredible marine life, and an entirely different world than what’s seen from the shore.

Certain Fijian islands, such as Taveuni located in Fiji’s Vanua Levu Group, offer both sandy beaches for all day relaxation and incredible adventure through a multitude of water sports and activities. You might find that your beach bum holiday becomes a trip filled with exploration and new experiences.

Kicking Back on the Beaches in Taveuni

There is no shortage of sand on Taveuni and the surrounding islands. On the island’s eastern coast is a beach called Lavena. It was an idyllic spot that was featured in the full-length film Return to the Blue Lagoon back in 1991. As well, Matei is the primary beach destination for vacationers on Taveuni. It is a gorgeous beach, but your best bet is to admire the water from this location, as swimming isn’t always possible. Other incredible beaches are found on the small islands and islets dotted around Taveuni.

You can even have access to the ocean all to yourself when you stay at Raiwasa Private Resort. The stunning property sits on a cliffside overlooking stunning, tropical water, but at the base of this coastline is a piece of sand that is exclusively yours during a stay at our luxury resort. It is not only a gorgeous location but in a secluded location, provides all the privacy you need for a restful day near the water.

Visiting for the View

For a number of visitors to Taveuni, the goal is to see the ocean without actually sitting on the sand. Private resorts on Taveuni offer this opportunity through bure’s and Bali day beds placed right along the water, and we think one of the best is found on Raiwasa’s exclusive property. Yet, Taveuni is famous for its hilly coastline and incredible views of the Somosomo Strait, and private resorts on the island capitalize on the locations overlooking this beautiful body of water. The unbelievable view from the Raiwasa infinity pool makes it understandable that many guests prefer floating here to anywhere else on the island.

Embracing Adventure Out on the Sea

While beaches and infinity pools provide the ultimate relaxation while at a beach resort in Fiji, the most impressive aspect of a trip to Taveuni is discovered out on the water. The Somosomo Strait is considered one of the most impressive coral reefs in the world. It offers an outstanding look at soft corals, some of which are nearly extinct in other parts of the world, and provides up-close encounters with a diverse array of marine life. Whether you want to see dolphins, reef sharks, or turtles, they are all found here.

These attributes make the Somosomo Strait one of the premier scuba dive locations in the world. However, you don’t have to be a diver to appreciate this underwater world. The water of the Somosomo Strait is very clear, and the reef can be seen by kayak or paddleboard, both of which are available at Raiwasa. Other experiences include snorkeling and boating excursions further out on the water to see the Rainbow Reef and other famous dive sites.

Experience Taveuni for Yourself

While descriptions and photographs provide a peek at the beautiful water world that surrounds Taveuni, it is impossible to truly capture the location in words or pictures. This is a destination that must be experienced in-person to be fully appreciated.
