Nadilo Bay Resort

Taveuni


This surf resort bills itself as sustainable, and it really does walk the walk. Power is via water turbine, all fruits and veggies are from its garden, and local fishermen provide their daily catches for the menu. Bures are super-traditional, and cut from the island's rainforest: they have not only thatched roofs, but the walls are thatched as well.

The bay has top-notch right- and left-hand surf breaks; the resort rents long and short boards.

Kids are welcome and are encouraged to play with local village children.
