 "A window on the sea's wonder."
Toberua Island Resort is an emerald set in a lapis lazuli sea. This two-hectare paradise is lush with palm trees, frangipani and hibiscus blooms. As a guest, you'll stay in one of 15 distinctive bures, all with en-suite bathrooms, huge beds and spacious lounge areas, and each one distinctively appointed with traditional Fijian furnishings and weavings.
Toberua (pronounced "Tomberua") is the good life — this is your own island with no day trippers to interrupt the reverie. Fishing, excursions to uninhabited islands, snorkelling through the coral or observing reef life from a glass-bottomed boat, windsurfing, sailing or just swimming in the pool can fill your day. Scuba diving on the kaleidoscopic reefs is exceptional. Sample a cocktail or two and see why Toberua's bar is one of the finest in Fiji; there's a good range of imported wines, too. Dine under the stars and delight in seafood brought in by local fishermen and the island's tropical fruits. The result is a delicious mixture of international and local dishes.
In keeping with the mood of Toberua Resort, there's little need for cash here — most of the activities are complimentary. Children are welcome, and baby-sitters are provided to ensure kids and parents alike have a perfect stay. After all, relaxation is what Toberua is about.
"Serenade under the stars."
Naturally seafood features heavily, with specialities including fish, crab, lobster and prawns direct from local fishermen who bring their catches to the beach.
At night guests love to eat outside under the stars, candles on linen tablecloths and the murmur of the ocean to accompany the meal. To signal mealtimes, the beating of the lali (Fijian drum) is heard. Guests can eat anywhere they chose on the island, even in the bure! Each night, a live band (unplugged) serenades guests who are then invited to dance the night away.
Complimentary morning and afternoon tea is also served outside the bar and there is always an array of mouth watering tropical fruits available throughout the day from the dining room.
It is preferred that young children eat early.
