LOCATION: Fiji contains more than 300 islands, spread over 1.3 million square kms (502,000 square miles) of ocean in the heart of the South Pacific. The largest is Viti Levu, and on the Western side of this island lies Nadi (pronounced 'Nandy'), just six hours' flying time south-west of Hawaii or four hours north-east of Sydney, Australia. Vatulele is 25 minutes by light aircraft from Nadi International Airport.

ACCOMMODATION: There are 18 villas (bures) of equal standard. Some are further away from the central bure (located between 3 & 4) than others. Please let us know your distance preference when you are booking and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. Sometimes guests (particularly past ones) request specific bures. On all occasions we do our best to accommodate these requests, but you should know that we NEVER guarantee a special will be available at the time. The villas or bures (pronounced 'boo-rays') are spacious and identical, enjoying easy access to the water, each with its stretch of white sand. Twelve doors open to an expansive terrace, and from the living room you walk up three steps to the bedroom, with a king size bed and a dressing area. The bures are around 50 metres apart and are set in natural jungle, allowing privacy. The Point— This two-level bure enjoys a commanding view of the beach and lagoon. It is designed for a couple (King bed cannot be split) and is the only villa to have a bathtub, air conditioning and fresh water pool. Ideally suited to high profile guests wanting privacy, wedding celebrants and honeymooners.

HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES: Vatulele is well recognised for its food, ranging from Californian to Thai, Japanese, Austral/Asian and Indian - in fact, any style that suits our glorious tropical climate and laid back lifestyle. Fresh ingredients are flown in daily from Australia and New Zealand. Naturally there is an emphasis on seafood. Because of our all inclusive tariff, there are ample opportunities to sample the contents of our first class cellar, including unlimited French champagne! In the welcoming warm weather, meals are taken on a terrace outside our large central pavilion overlooking the lagoon. By night, tables are set under the stars and lit by lanterns and candlelight. At full moon, the 'dining room' is usually set by the water's edge. Dining is usually communal, and hosted by the management - in the style of the Captain's table on a ship. However, don't imagine that we ignore that special occasion or the chance to have a romantic dinner for two. There are many options for private dinners, our wine cellar, in 'The Folly', or on the beach with moon and lantern light.
