Turtle Island Resort

Turtle Island Resort Review

Take a look at Fiji's original ultraluxury resort by the numbers: 100 staff for a maximum of 14 couples, 14 beaches, 1,000-square-foot bures and 1 personal "Bure Mama" per couple, who tends to all needs and uses a digital camera, with guests' permission, to craft a photo album for them to take home. Everything from scuba diving to champagne-and-lobster picnics on reserved beaches is included, with the exception of spa treatments. The expansive bures feature 21-foot high ceilings, dual showerheads, floor-to-ceiling windows, four-poster king-size beds and private verandas with daybed and fish ponds leading out to the famed Blue Lagoon. Grand bures have jetted hot tubs, and the elevated Vonu Point cottage has even greater privacy and the ultimate view. Á la carte breakfasts are served on the sand, chef's choice three-course lunches are taken around the island (if not ordered from a special picnic lunch menu), and communal dinners are also chef's choice, although guests can make requests or dine alone. There's a six-night minimum stay.
