Matanivusi Surf Resort

Matanivusi Surf Resort Review

Gorgeous, modern bures, great cuisine, and an infinitely relaxing atmosphere make this secluded, Australian couple-owned boutique resort a choice escape. The airy, unconnected and ecofriendly units, designed by Australian architect Paul Uhlmann, have plantation mahogany floorboards, a king-size bed, and stylish, spacious bathrooms; each has a porch leading down to the sand. An elevated boardwalk winds past untouched rain forest to the dining room and bar, fronted by a pool, hot tub, and leather-covered lounge chairs. A boat and crew take surfers to two right-hand breaks with up to six-foot waves (a 10-minute boat ride away) or to renowned Frigates Pass, 20 km (12 mi) distant. Diving and day tours can be arranged. The all-inclusive meal plan features entrées such as chicken fillets stuffed with banana, excellent curries, and you won't see a menu repeated during your stay. Rates include round-trip two-hour transfers from Nadi. Three-night minimum.
