Vatulele Island Resort is the essence of laidback ‘barefoot chic.’ On the west side of Viti Levu, the largest of the fantasy Fijian islands, it is home to an exclusive small set of thatched roof villas or bures (native style cottages), tucked into the lush jungle. Identical, all have easy access to the exceptionally heavenly beach. Vale Viqi, the most remote of the bures, is a 1,960 square feet honeymoon mini palace with two indoor and outdoor showers surrounded by beautiful tropical garden. The Point is a similarly premium villa, overlooking the entire lagoon. Best of all, the all inclusive resort welcomes a maximum of just 38 guests, each cosseted by wonderful staff who seem genuinely to delight in their roles.
Vatulele Island Resort is recognized for providing guests the opportunity to experience the best food and beverages in the region. The range of dining options includes private dining in the wine cellar or on the terrace of the large central pavilion overlooking the lagoon, where the emphasis is on seafood from the Fijian waters and fresh ingredients sourced from the resort’s own organic gardens.
Soul-soothing service and solitude are supported by an absence of televisions, newspapers, telephones and shoes. Simplicity pervades.

The resort has a total of 18 generous villas and one Premium Bure. Their architectural design is inspired by three wonderful and well-known resort destinations in the world; Fiji, New Mexico, and the Mediterranean.
The villas or bures (pronounced 'boo-rays') 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 you 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.
The most remote of the bures, this mini-palace is noted for its extreme privacy, and architectural detailing. Vale Viqi gives you 182 square metres of exclusive space plus private courtyard/deck. Air conditioned, sound system, two indoor showers, two outdoor showers, bidet, bathtub, cosy dining area, and plunge pool, all surrounded by beautiful tropical foliage. All this plus easy beach access.
Just as Vatulele's architecture is inspired by a variety of global destinations, so is its food. For lunch, guests dine on the shady, central pavilion overlooking the lagoon. In the evening under bright stars and soft lantern light 'al fresco' is the theme. Sink your toes in the sand and delight in a five star beach dinner party hosted by a Vatulele staff member.
If you are looking to dine in romantic intimacy with your partner, there are options available for private dining. Locations include a cave in the jungle, the wine cellar or on an island in the lagoon.
Pacific Rim - The main influence comes of course from Fiji and India, however countries such as Australia and Asia are also represented, producing a variety of tastes that make Vatulele's meals absolutely delicious. The menu is both contemporary and exotic, with local tropical delights such as mango and coconut adding flavour to the dishes. Succulent fruits, fresh local seafood and fresh produce all make for a fantastically delicious and diverse menu.
Specialising in diving, Vatulele is the only island resort in Fiji that boasts world-class diving, a PADI diving facility and resident instructors.
Vatulele has been designed to ensure that your stay is carefree from the moment you arrive on the island. You don't need to tip, you don't need formal dress and even footwear is optional at times.
Rising magically out of the ocean in a neat explosion of lush vegetation and surrounded by a wide shallow lagoon, Moorea is all that you might imagine a South Seas island to be.
