mongst Taveuni Island's wild profusion of natural beauty, and tucked away on a gently sloping hill is Maravu Plantation Resort. Taveuni is known as the garden isle of Fiji, with volcanic mountains peaking at 1200 metres and lush rain forests and majestic waterfalls. The island is alive with rare birds and exotic flowers. Maravu Plantation Resort is conveniently close to the Matei Airport which is serviced daily from Nadi and Suva. Guests are welcomed at Maravu and within a few minutes the magic of Taveuni's exquisite tropical garden paradise begins.

Maravu is a 54 acre plantation resort with ten large bures facing the tropical sunsets. There are three honeymoon bures with private outdoor showers, sun deck and verandah and seven deluxe bures which can accommodate up to four persons. Amenities include a large tiled bathroom and a secluded verandah. All bures have a ceiling fan, minibar and tea and coffeee making facilities. The bures are well appointed to ensure privacy. Room service, housekeeping and laundry service are available daily.

Maravu is a Fijian word meaning "calm and tranquil". For its guests Maravu takes on an additional meaning: lush tropical gardens, 12 metre swimming pool, hilltop sunset garden and panoramic views of Matei, Somosomo Straight and neighbouring islands. Horse-back riding, croquet, tennis, mountain bikes, kayaks, motor yacht and plantation tours are all available for you to enjoy. A golf course is located at Soqulu, just a half-hour drive.

Maravu's “Wananavu” Restaurant prepares nouvelle Fijian cuisine, as well as international dishes, that will tempt your taste buds. The service and the selection of international wines is a delight to the most seasoned traveller. Pool-side dining takes on a new meaning under the Southern Cross, enhanced by the house band performing Fijian melodies around the kava bowl. All your favourite exotic cocktails are served in the bar and restaurant.

Adventure treks and island eco-tours are Maravu's speciality. Our tour desk can organise your day with trips to the International Dateline, Lavena Village, Des Voeux Peak, Wainibau and Bouma waterfalls. Maravu's Beverly Beach is just across the road and excellent for snorkeling. Prince Charles Beach is just a short walk from the resort. Some of the best dive spots in the world can be found a few minutes from the beach. Diving is arranged with independent professional operators.

There are so many things to do and explore, but if you wish to relax and do nothing there is plenty of that too. Maravu is for those wanting a private, intimate and relaxing vacation with memories to last a lifetime.
