Sau Bay Fiji Retreat

Taveuni


This gorgeous, private place is in a sheltered bay on Vanua Levu (best accessed from Taveuni; contact them in advance for transfers) and offers easy access to exceptional diving spots, including the famous Great White Wall. There are four light wooden cottages (one with two bedrooms) with private decks and outdoor showers, and a highly covetable luxury safari 'glamping' tent.

There’s no actual beach, but there is excellent hiking (it's surrounded by rainforest), good snorkelling at the house reef and you can take the kayaks to paddle in the mangroves up a small river.

Food is fresh and local; compulsory meal plans $127.
