What defines luxury? Different people may have varying interpretations. But rest assured, Maravu Plantation Resort meets (and exceeds) most people's expectations; we're listed in nearly every international guidebook as a recommended Fiji luxury resort.

Now, we're not the kind of stuffy luxury resort you may have read about in other places. No bronze fountains in the middle of a marble lobby here. We don't need extra decoration. Our 56 acres of coconut groves, jungle gardens, and wide, expansive lawns carpeted with soft grass all beneath swaying palm trees would make metal statuary redundant.

Here you bask in tropical luxury. Enjoy fully private and secluded bungalows, with outdoor showers and Jacuzzis. Luxuriate in beautifully appointed tropical interiors, including palm-wood furnishings, fully stocked mini-bars, old-world ceiling fans, and mosquito-netted hardwood four-poster beds.

Maravu has top-drawer amenities, including room service, nightly musical entertainment, exceptionally fine nouvelle Fijian cuisine, and one of the most extensive and impressive wine lists found in all of Fiji. We have a large, beautiful, sparkling pool surrounded by swaying palms, bougainvillea and hibiscus. Open decks and verandas allow for extraordinary views. Plus, we have a library, a bar, a restaurant, a well-equipped gym, and spa services.

Maravu activities are luxe, too, and include chartered deep-sea fishing excursions, guided scuba and snorkeling trips, sunset cruises--complete with wine and live music--island-hopping by boat, and deserted coves to explore in perfect privacy. In short, At Maravu Plantation Resort, you'll spend time in the most leisurely ways possible.
