FIJI ISLANDS
The Fiji Islands boast some of the most delightful 4 and 5 Star resorts. The culinary talents of their chefs is well know. Some of these resorts offer eclectic and enticing wine lists for the most discriminating palate. Suprisingly, several other lesser known resorts are getting in on the act and starting to make a name for themselves with their incredibly delicious menus and ever expanding wine offerings. It's good to know that mouth watering epicurian delights are not only reserved for 4 and 5 Star resorts. Stay a week in Fiji and you're sure to come across a lovo followed by a meke, our colourful evening of traditional Fijian song and dance by nearby villages or resort island staff members. Everyone deserves a lovo and meke, and it's a reward you'll only get in Fiji!

Maravu Plantation Resort
From fine dining, excellent wines, and Fijian cultural entertainment, to our gift boutique, and guest library, ... we aim to make your stay enjoyable. Have a candle light dinner alongside other guests laughing and conversing in the quiet open restaurant, or choose a spot by the pool, on the beach or in the garden to have a private moment with one another under the stars of the Southern skies. And look for the famous 'Southern Cross' formation which has guided travellers in times gone by.

Each evening, enjoy the enchanting harmony of the Maravu Serenades as they play Fijian songs. Every week we have a Fijian meke, and lovo feast, so that you may enjoy watching traditional dances and taste delicious food which is cooked 'Fijian style' in an underground oven.

We cater for any diet requests and the Resort has its own organic vegetable and herb garden. There are also banana trees, papaya, pineapples and other exotic fruits which grow throughout the 56-acre plantation.
