Accommodation: Traditional Fijian Bures with a Modern Touch

The accommodation at Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort is designed to offer the ultimate in comfort while staying true to traditional Fijian architecture. The resort features a variety of bures, or traditional thatched-roof huts, that blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. These bures are crafted from local materials, including timber and palm fronds, and are furnished with elegant yet understated decor that reflects the beauty of Fiji.

Each bure is equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, plush bedding, and spacious bathrooms. Many of the bures are situated directly on the beach, offering stunning views of the ocean, while others are nestled in the lush tropical gardens. With just 25 bure’s the resort has that boutique feel, and personalised service. You feel truly taken care of at JMC.   

The resort’s commitment to sustainability is also reflected in the accommodations. Solar panels power the bures, and natural ventilation systems reduce the need for excessive energy consumption. The use of biodegradable toiletries and eco-friendly cleaning products further highlights the resort’s dedication to preserving the environment.

The Villa is a work of art.  It comprises several Bure pavilions all linked by decks at various levels and features amazing private walled courtyards off both bedrooms and sweeping views from the private horizon swimming pool and lounging areas.
The Master Bedroom, which is breath-taking in its size and layout, is bordered on 2 sides by a walled courtyard which contains a waterfall, an outdoor shower and a private grassed area for private sun-bathing.  The internal bathroom which houses another shower, a spa bath and 2 separate vanities opens directly into the walled courtyard and the bedroom proper is raised 4 steps up from where the bathroom joins the bedroom.  A deck seamlessly joins the bedroom and this deck leads out to the Day Bed Bure on the same level.  The Day Bed Bure, which houses a King Day Bed, is a thatched bure which is open on the 2 sides where it joins the deck and the private swimming pool.
From the deck outside the main bedroom there are 4 steps down to a lower deck where you find a BBQ and an outdoor dining setting for 4.  A separate lounge bure complete with kitchenette and bathroom, runs directly off this lower deck.  The lounge bure converts to a second bedroom if required.
Maximum Occupancy: 5 guests (adults or adults and children)
Existing Bedding: 1 King Four-Poster Bed in the main bedroom and two fold-out Queen-size Sofa Beds in the lounge bure.
