The essence of Vatulele is romantic, a stark contrast to the pragmatic commercial language of most resorts. In keeping with owners' philosophy of creating a total escape, there are no money transactions on the island, and no telephones, newspapers, radios or television.
The bures 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 guests 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.
Vatulele has become famous for its food, ranging from Californian to Thai, Japanese, Austral/Asian and Indian - in fact, any style that suits the glorious tropical climate and laid back lifestyle. Fresh ingredients are flown in daily from Australia and New Zealand. Because Vatulele offers an all inclusive tarrif, there are ample opportunities to sample the contents of the first class cellar, including unlimited French champagne.
In the welcoming warm weather, meals are taken on a terrace outside the 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.
They too can organise a special occasion or a romantic dinner for two. There are many options for private dinners, such as, the wine cellar, in 'The Folly', on an exclusive island in the lagoon (breakfast & lunch only), on the beach with moon and lantern light and, the library.
The quality of the scuba diving sites at Vatulele has been one of the South Pacific's well-kept secrets for many years, and only recently has it been revealed as one of the premier dive destinations in the region.
Vatulele is the only five star island resort in Fiji with a PADI ("Golden Palm" status) dive facility and resident instructors. We offer a variety of courses: 'Resort' courses, full 'Open Water' certification courses, and various specialty courses.
