Tie Your Own Sulu!

Not quite sure what to do with your 'sulu' - your Fijian sarong?

No problem! Join Kini for a quick lesson in the art of tying sulus and become an expert in modelling all sorts of different styles. From the very simple 'wraparound' to the more elaborate dresses, Kini can show you how to master them all.

Whether by the pool or relaxing around the kava bowl at Fiji Night - your sulu is your essential accessory!

Southern Taveuni

Take some time during your stay to explore the unique local area with a Guided Tour of Southern Taveuni and experience the amazing friendliness and charm of the Fijian people.

Start off in nearby Vuna Village, where many of our staff live, and learn how the traditional woven mats and Tapa cloths are produced. Visit the famous 'Southern Blowhole' - the only one in Taveuni - and watch the ocean tide shoot up to 50m into the sky.

See the 'Tatanoa' - the sacred Fijian site where legend says that a Warrior Chief formed stone kava bowls after his daughter was kidnapped. And marvel at the 6 fingered hand prints of the giant ancestor warriors that once lived in the village.

Balmy days in Paradise

Paradise is enjoying idyllic weather at the moment with endless days of balmy sunshine and evening skies filled with stars.

The pool has been a popular place to while away the sunny hours, sipping cocktails or diving in for a refreshing swim. And the warm nights have been filled with dinners by lantern-light, accompanied by the voices of the seranaders.

We're looking forward to enjoying many more great sunny days!

Honeymoon Moments

Love is in the air at the moment with several Honeymoon couples chosing to spend their very special holiday in Paradise.

We've been delighted to meet Tim & Audrey, Chad & Jen, Cristy & Russell and Anna & Kyle and to share in creating some lifetime memories for them from romantic sunset meals to adventures exploring Taveuni.

Paradise offers a Fiji honeymoon that is magical and memorable. Our Fiji Honeymoon Vacation Package will ensure your trip is unforgettable.

Fishing Fever!

Paradise played host to its first ever Fishing Competition this week! Australia took on New Zealand in the form of guests John & Anna and Martin & Heather.

Each team had a boat and 2 crew at their disposal and tactics were kept top secret before they took to the water.

90 minutes of fishing time was strictly monitored and a cat and mouse game soon developed between the 2 boats.

As the sun started to set neither team could break the deadlock and a draw was the final result.

Congratulations to all the hardy competitors and we're looking forward to the next tournament!

Cocktails Treats

If you’re feeling indulgent, why not treat yourself to a Paradise cocktail?

Tomasi's speciality, a “Taveuni Dream”, is perfect for lazing away the afternoons with. While Kini

makes a mean “Pina Colada” to accompany our sunset seranaders.

And if you’re feeling truly decadent.... a “Paradise Daiquiri” is just the thing to enjoy in the spa!

Learn to Speak Fijian

Ni sa bula vinaka! Want to learn a bit more of the local Fijian language? Sega na lega – no problem!

Perina and Kata, our 2 Tour Desk Operators, will guide you through the basics of Fijian and explain the important pronunciations. They’re always happy to translate any special requests.

Taking in some history and story-telling, this is a fantastic insight into the culture and lifestyle on Taveuni.
