Picolo recommends · Hotel in Pacific Harbour, Fiji
Nanuku Resort Fiji
A villa between the beach and the rainforest, with sharks in the lagoon offshore and river gorges in the hills behind.
Mornings here can go two ways: out to Beqa Lagoon, where divers go down to meet the sharks, or up into the highlands for rafting on the rivers. Either way, you come back to a spacious villa or bure by the sand or under the rainforest canopy.
A bure is the traditional Fijian bungalow with a high, peaked roof. Pacific Harbour lies on the south coast of Viti Levu, the main island, nearer the capital Suva than the airport at Nadi.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Nanuku Resort Fiji
This is our pick on Viti Levu for travellers who want luxury and adventure in the same stay. Few resorts in Fiji put shark diving and river trips this close to your door.
The drive from Nadi takes about two hours, which is a long transfer after a long-haul flight. If you want a quiet island and white sand with nothing on the schedule, the outer islands suit you better.
