The Wakaya Club & Spa, Fiji

This peaceful retreat offers gracious living, sophisticated cuisine and unparalleled leisure opportunities in one of the most remote and unspoiled corners of the world. Surrounded by a protected coral reef, the island boasts serene lagoons, majestic cliffs and pristine white sand beaches. Welcome to paradise.

There are eight free-standing bures, six Ocean View and two Garden View, just steps from the ocean. Beautifully designed and appointed, they provide exceptional comfort with every conceivable comfort including secluded garden and two covered decks. In addition there are two additional larger and even more luxurious bures, The Governors and The Ambassadors, and a superb three-bedroom villa, Vale O, complete with dedicated staff and Cliffside swimming pool.

At Wakaya, dining is a distinct pleasure with meals prepared by chefs who understand that simplicity underlies sophistication. The Pacific Rim cuisine, created from fresh local produce grown, reared or caught on the island itself, includes wonderful choices, tastes and sensations. Meals are served al fresco overlooking the lagoon, in the Palm Grove Restaurant with its 60-foot cathedral ceiling, or in your bure if preferred.

Other amenities include Breeze Spa, which offers a variety of treatments and pampering in a wonderful setting overlooking the lagoon. There are also a wide array of recreational activities such as hiking and nature walks, golf, tennis, croquet, private beaches visits and picnics. However, the main focus of activities here tends to be the lagoon and reef, a marine reserve teeming with a rich variety of colourful fish and coral. Scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, sea kayaking and glass bottom boat tours are just some of activities on offer.
