The Namena Barrier Reef abounds with hundreds of varieties
of reef fishes, nudibranchs, sea cucumbers (beche-de-mer),
barracuda, sharks, trevally, clownfish, trigger fish, wrasse,
an occasional manta, turtles and a multitude more sea creatures.
After your dive, make use of our vast library of the underwater
creatures you will have seen.
The Fiji Islands are known as the Soft Coral capital of
the Pacific and the various colours and hues boggle the
mind. Snorkelers have the same advantage as divers in enjoyment
of the underwater world with the exception that snorkelers
cannot remain for long periods of time beneath the surface
as do our scuba diving companions.
Accommodations
Our resort bures are hexagonal and built of native woods,
bamboo and cane to blend with the environment. As each  bure is perched along the ridge, all are oceanfront
and each has its own unique view out to sea, overlooking
either the beach or the reefs at the base of the cliffs.
Four of the six bures face northwesterly towards the southern
coast of Vanua Levu. 'Lawendua' is named after the elegant
long-tailed tropicbirds which nest in crevices of the cliff-face
below the bure. Several walls have floor-to-ceiling sliding
louvered doors so by fully opening the doors, one has a
180 degree view out to sea. Various tropical bushes, plants
and fruit trees lend color and provide privacy between each
bure.
One of the six sections of the hexagon is the bathroom area
with his/her toilets & sinks joined by an over-size
shower. The bedroom is dominated by a king-size canopy bed
with mosquito netting draped around the base of the canopy.
You'll find coffee/tea making facilities in the beautiful
hardwood cabinet tucked in a corner of your bedroom. Romantic
gas lamps, reminiscent of lighting at the turn of the century,
provides 24 hour lighting. There are solar lamps for reading
in bed along with a fan for our hot humid summers when the
tradewinds are light. Piped-in gas runs your lights, hot
water for showers and your tea kettle.
Dining
The large hexagonal bure, 'vale ni kana' - or clubhouse,
is our central gathering place consisting of lounge area,
dining, self-serve bar and houses a large paperback library.
Here you will find books on fish and coral identification,
birds, local culture & traditions. Dining is usually
communal and a time to share the day's experiences with
fellow guests. However, for our romantics or honeymoon couples
who prefer to dine alone, our staff are happy to set up
a table on the patio. Meals are included in the daily tariff.
Our kitchen staff bake breads, pastries, cakes daily and
can cater to your dietary requirements.
Complimentary Activities
Includes use of snorkeling equipment, snorkel excursions
to the Namena Barrier Reef, canoeing, ocean kayaking, hiking
trails across the 110 acre island, private beaches for romantic
picnics, birdwatching, beach volleyball, fishing (either
trolling or handline fishing the Fijian way). We do not
take day tourists so the island is yours.
