Taveuni Dive Resort

Taveuni

LoginSave

If you're a diver, this spanking new resort may well prove impossible to beat. Built by the well-respected Taveuni Dive outfit, it's the closest digs on Taveuni to Rainbow Reef: from bure to bubbling takes just 15 minutes. There are eight luxury bures available, but don't be fooled by the opulence: this is an ecoresort, running on solar power and constructed out of sustainable materials.

Its super-sociable Salty Fox Bar & Grill (mains $14-40; 7am-10pm) is proving popular with guests and visitors, who congregate over burgers and beers to swap diving notes and tall tales.
