I discovered the Likuliku Lagoon resort by accident. We have been travelling around the world and wanted to stay a week in Fiji to break up our long trip home. I found the Likuliku resort on the internet. It has only been open for 9 months and caters for adults only. It has over water burres (pronounced boorays) and deluxe beachfront and beachfront burres. We opted for an 8 night stay in a deluxe beachfront. It was awesome. Built using local products, it is all polished wood and palm tree beams lashed together using materials from the coconut trees. Huge square footage makes for a very comfortable stay. Outside you have your own plunge pool, which has spa bubbles and a day bed. Pure bliss.
We arrived by seaplane, transferred to a small boat from the hotel that was waiting and alighted on to the pontoon to a welcome song from the staff. We felt really special. From that day to the last, nothing was too much trouble. You are greeted by your first names by all the staff and they take time to find out about you. Their smiles lift your heart every day.
The hotel has a fantastic chef, who at the moment comes from Australia. Each mealtime was a delight of 3 well thought out courses. Delicious. It is a very quiet place with free non motorised activities but waterskiing and jet boating is available for a charge. You can do interesting walks, the medicine walk, the sacred sites walk etc, but do that in the morning as there are some steep climbs.
We spent the days lazing around the infinity pool. Sunbeds are set out at a discrete distance from other guests. Although, due to the fact that the hotel has a maximum of 90 guests, (35 - 50 when we were there), you are never on top of anyone else.
We had the most wonderful time and made some great friends. We can highly recommend it to couples, whether you are first/second honeymooners or a couple just needing to rewind and have some first class r&r.
On the day we left, we walked down the pontoon to get the seaplane and several members of staff ran down to wave us off and sing songs. They were still waving as the seaplane took off. I had tears streaming down my face. Definitely a hard place to leave, especially as we are from the UK and it is so far away. However, we are planning another trip to NZ in 4 - 5 years time and will definitely go back to Likuliku again.
Vinaka Vaka Velu to all the staff at Likuliku and Morce for now.
