A hidden gem. Busy working in partnership with their local villagers, Viwa Resort is continuing sustainable tourism and eco-friendly development (this really does mean no more buildings, cash-catching schemes or stressing wildlife). Probably even more peaceful than it describes in its promotional efforts. Go to be in peace, beauty and nature with fabulous staff - now all great friends.
If looking for glitz, excess, western abuses of everything, please stay away. Do take presents for the village school. Fijian culture abounds with its beautiful goodwill, fun and relentless helpfulness. Great scubering, snorkelling and clear water. Great reefs, beaches, cabins and food. It is isolated, so enjoy it as such, with an occasional shortage - always minor. Aircon, fans, beds, flowers, facilities are great, but the stars are the amazing staff...ceremonies, singing, fun, care. Expect to cry when leaving after their morning songs, dinners on beach under stars and out-of-season great weather.
