3 Best Hotels in Kadavu Group, Fiji

The only property actually located on the Great Astrolabe Reef, Mai only a maximum of 16 guests, assuring you of a completely personal and unique dive experience. Each individual gets to set his or her own itinerary, and most destinations are appropriate for both divers and snorkelers. Once back from your dive, the comforts of the resort await you: a warm shower, free Wi-Fi, and a hammock on your private deck. There are kayak trips or snorkel safaris to join around the resort, and all meals are included and made from produce grown organically on-site. Pickup from Vunisea airport is included in the rate.

Adventure-meets-intimacy-meets-science at Kadavu's latest resort, opened on Ono Island. Practically surrounded by the Astrolabe Reef, the six-bure all-inclusive resort includes honeymoon bure with king-size beds, dual sinks, outdoor showers; one also has an indoor shower, and a TV with VCR. The cuisine is a fusion of traditional Fijian fare and Italian classics made with ingredients including organic vegetables and homegrown chicken and pork.

Kadavu's most stylish bure and a carefully crafted ambience set this extremely ecofriendly resort apart as the island's finest. Its generous white-sand beach is dotted with hammocks and edged by the five Ocean Bure designed for families with teenagers. There are bure for everyone—including a 12-capacity Royal Bure for corporate retreats and a "Kinder House" with a kitchen for very young families—and four Garden Rooms sharing a deck, each with a double and two single beds. All bure are furnished with beautiful Pacific Green–brand leather furniture, lavish bed spreads, and pretty bathrooms. Among the most popular activities are a day trip to Mt. Nabukelevu including fishing and diving at the volcano's base, and a picnic. A village tour with a kava ceremony and a day-cruise around the northern Astrolabe Reef are also guest-favorites. Meals in the comfortable main bure are designed for guests' preferences; lunch and dinner are communal.
