We are able to share our first-hand experience of what makes Nanuku Resort Fiji an exceptional destination.

As part of Luxury Adventures ‘Featured Accommodation‘ in Fiji we hand pick premium resorts & share our experiences with our prospective clients.

The key criteria we focus on: Luxury, exclusivity, service levels, activities & location.

Location: The Coral Coast, Pacific Harbour

Nanuku Resort is situated in Pacific Harbour, (roughly 2 and a half hours from Nadi or 50 mins from Suva in a vehicle or 30 mins from Nadi via helicopter or light plane) on the Coral coast of Viti Levu, Fiji’s largest island. The region is known as ‘The Adventure capital of Fiji’ with lots of activities, lush landscapes and a vibrant marine life. Nanuku Resort boasts a prime location.

The resort’s beachfront position offers sweeping views of the clear turquoise waters and direct access to pristine sandy beaches. Nanuku Resort is spread across 500 acres, with its own airstrip, its own private island and a stretch of beach front, expanding over 3Kms in length, giving its guest supreme privacy but with much to be able to explore. This stunning setting is enhanced by beautifully landscaped gardens & pathways, providing an unparalleled sense of seclusion and tranquillity.

The architecture of the resort blends traditional Fijian design with modern luxury. Thatched roofs, wooden beams, and intricate carvings are seamlessly integrated with contemporary amenities, creating an immersive experience that is both culturally authentic and seamlessly comfortable.

Luxurious Accommodation: A Haven of Comfort and Elegance

Nanuku Resort offers a range of luxurious accommodation choices. The expansive villas, spacious suites & incredible residences, all showcase the resorts’ premium nature. Each room comes with its own outdoor shower, private pool, outdoor table and sun lounges, designed with the utmost comfort and privacy in mind. The villa we stayed in was adorned with a kitchenette, king sized bed, bespoke furnishings, plush bedding, and state-of-the-art amenities, ensuring that every moment spent indoors was as delightful as the outdoor experiences. Concierge is available 24/7 if you need anything, and its fun taking the ‘old school’ designed push bikes to make your way around the place too!

The villas, suites and residences’ ooze quality and are perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway or families looking for a private retreat. Each have a number of room & size configurations to suit, with the Hilltop Oceanview residence being a standout with 6 bedrooms, 300 degree ocean views, full kitchen, dedicated living & dining areas, entertaining deck, 3 plunge pools and a complimentary nanny service ensuring a seamless and stress-free stay for you and your family.

Personalized Service: Attention to Detail

One of the hallmarks of Nanuku Resort is its commitment to providing personalised service that caters to the unique preferences and needs of each guest. From the moment we arrived, we were treated to a warm Fijian welcome with traditional songs and ceremonies, setting the tone for an unforgettable stay.

The resort’s staff, majority of whom are local Fijians, are renowned for their genuine hospitality and attentiveness. Whether it is arranging a bespoke dining experience on a secluded beach, organizing a private snorkelling excursion, or setting up an impromptu village visit, the staff will go above and beyond to ensure that your desires are met. We really felt an extra effort was put in to make us feel at home.

Culinary Excellence: A Feast for the Senses

When we arrived for our dinner reservation at the Kanavata Restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly staff and taken to our seats while a couple of the Fijian lads played songs on the guitar and sung in the background. There was a nice vibe and a relaxed atmosphere when dining. The resort’s executive chefs use fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are both flavourful and nutritious. The menu had something for everyone and each meal had a suggested wine to accompany it. I had the prawns (which were delicious) and Dee had the chicken. You can dine inside or out and the restaurant has views heading out to the ocean. You will not eat anything more fresh and delicious if you enjoy seafood. The fresh fish and seafood which is caught daily is phenomenal, and I would urge you to try as much as possible. 

The resort also offers unique dining experiences such as the ‘Sunset Tapas,’ where you have a selection of tapas and cocktails while watching the sun set over the lagoon. Additionally, the weekly ‘Fijian Lovo’ night provides an opportunity to taste traditional Fijian dishes cooked in an earth oven, accompanied by cultural performances that offer further insight into the local heritage.  You can opt for a more intimate dining experience in your villa, on the beach or even with a private chef, high up in the branches of a 70 year old Fijian Dilo tree!

Adventure and Relaxation: Tailored Experiences

Nanuku Resort excels in offering a diverse array of activities that cater to both adventure seekers and those looking to relax. The surrounding Beqa Lagoon is renowned for its vibrant coral reefs and marine life, making it a paradise for underwater enthusiasts. The resort’s Adventure Club provides its guests with access to a variety of water sports such as snorkelling, diving, kayaking, catamaran sailing, jet-skis and paddleboarding. Why not charter a boat and go fishing, or take a sunset cruise?…take a helicopter to play the Natadola championship golf course? These are only a few of the many options available. 

For those who prefer to stay on land, the resort offers guided hikes through the lush rainforests, visits to local villages, and cultural workshops where guests can learn traditional crafts and dances. The resort’s spa, Lomana Spa and Wellness Centre, offers a range of treatments that incorporate indigenous Fijian techniques and ingredients, providing a rejuvenating experience that soothes both body and mind.

Exclusive Experiences: Creating Lasting Memories

What truly sets Nanuku Resort apart is its access to bespoke experiences that we can help tailor to the personal preferences of each guest. Whether it’s a private island picnic, a helicopter tour of the archipelago, or a custom-tailored wellness retreat, all the experiences available will create a memorable holiday.

One standout experience is the resort’s ‘Nanuku Private Island Experience,’ where you can spend time on a secluded island complete with a gourmet picnic, water activities, and the option to stay overnight in a luxury tent. This exclusive offering allows you to see the beauty and tranquillity of the Fijian archipelago in complete privacy.

Sustainability and Community: A Responsible Luxury

Nanuku Resort is deeply committed to sustainability and supporting the local community. The resort’s environmental initiatives include coral planting, beach clean-ups, and efforts to reduce plastic usage. Guests are encouraged to participate in these activities, fostering a sense of connection and responsibility towards the natural surroundings.

The resort also supports local artisans and producers by sourcing ingredients and products locally. This not only ensures the freshest ingredients for the food offerings but also provides economic support to the surrounding communities. I visited many local markets and villages in my time at Pacific Harbour and along the Coral coast. I would encourage as many of our clients to make the most of the hospitality on offer from the beautiful Fijian people when experiencing their country.
