Blue Lagoon Resort
Three-time winner of an international award for excellence, this property overlooks Likuliku Bay, which has been voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world – 1.5 kilometres long, with sands like silk and unbelievably blue water. Octopus is very special indeed, with accommodation for every type of traveller: from lovers of luxe to the thriftiest of backpackers. There are spotless, air-conditioned Dorm Rooms and luxurious Beachfront Bures, with plenty of other choices in between.
The resort has strong ties to the local village, and provides a huge range of activities, including yoga, island – hopping, a kava welcome ceremony, village visits and, of course, watersports. Some of Fiji’ s best snorkelling and diving is literally on the doorstep: the reef is just a few metres out.
This relaxed and very popular resort lies on the shores of the fabulous Blue Lagoon. Still fairly new, it has earned numerous accolades and rave reviews. With prices to meet all budgets, it offers fresh, contemporary accommodation with a Fijian twist. It’ s location is hard to beat at Nalova Bay on the island of Nacula, by a long, soft, sandy beach – just wait till you see the sunsets! The entire resort was designed to reflect local culture and traditions and its range of facilities and activities are excellent. It also offers access to superb walking trails over Nacula’ s rolling, grassy hills.
You can beat the budget by staying in an award-winning, air-conditioned Dorm or Lodge room here, but for the perfect South Sea Island dream, there are classy Beachfront Villas.
