RAIWASA PRIVATE RESORT

Whether its floating in your private infinity pool- scuba diving with sea turtles or journeying to tropical waterfalls- a lifetime on Taveuni would barely scratch the surface of this breathtaking Fijian island. This tropical paradise is the home of Raiwasa- a private residence that takes barefoot luxury to a new level. Expect to arrive by chauffeur driven transport- eat Fijian feasts crafted by your personal chefs as the sun sets over the ocean- and watch humpback whales in the ocean that fringes the Grand Villa you can call home. Set in three acres of palms- papaya and pineapple trees- this is the place to sky gaze through the open ceilings of your suite- soak up the view from the alfresco honeymoon bath and step straight into the sea. As well as private chefs- a dedicated team of spa therapists are on hand for massage treatments in the cooling breeze- while specialist guides can craft itineraries for island adventures. It could be snorkelling across the kaleidoscopic reef- spotting manta rays and leopard sharks. Fishing trips in the Somosomo Straights. Hikes through the rainforest to Bouma Waterfalls and Vidawa Forest- its villages giving insights into Fijian culture. Or journeying along the river on an authentic Bilibili to Waitabu Marine Park for a traditional kava ceremony. For those seeking true hidden gems- a tour of the Wailoa Lagoon Pearl Farm will uncover the shimmering gold and blue pearls native to this beautiful part of the world. Raiwasa Private Resort is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
