Which Lodges to Stay in Fiji
Forget busy resorts and expensive hotel rooms, the lodges in Fiji provide a much more affordable stay in paradise. The term “lodge” is used rather loosely in Fiji, varying from budget lodges with guest rooms and communal facilities to resort-style lodges with individual bures (bungalows), as well as dorm rooms. Either way, we list some of our favourite lodges in Fiji in this article!
1. Naveria Heights Lodge
A boutique lodge overlooking the tranquil bay of Savusavu in Fiji’s less-visited Vanua Levu, Naveria Heights Lodge provides a special retreat for couples and health junkies. The lodge offers health, wellness and fitness programs, as well as three well-appointed guest rooms decorated in a subtle Fijian style. Guests have access to the lodge’s treetop plunge pool, relaxing guest lounge and tropical bar. Check out more accommodations nearby in the 10 Best Resorts on Vanua Levu.
