5 Best Luxury Accommodations in Levuka & the Lomaiviti Islands

1. Wakaya Club & Spa

A private island resort located on 2,200 acres (810 ha) of virtually untouched island, no wonder the Wakaya Club & Spa has earned itself a reputation for attracting the rich and famous. The luxury resort is boutique only holding five bures (Fijian cottages) and two private villas. Bures are constructed from fallen trees around Wakaya Island, blending with the natural environment and easing you into the island’s ambience. Each bure has a rock outdoor shower, living area, outdoor deck and reading garden, while the “Governor’s Bure” and “Ambassador’s Bure” offer added extras, such as a private plunge pool and spa bathtubs. Finally, the two villas are ideal for group gatherings and family reunions, where guests can enjoy a tennis court and full use of the Wakaya Spa facilities.

3. Levuka Homestay

The historical UNESCO-status town of Levuka is a highlight of the Lomaiviti Islands but lacks “luxury” accommodation in favour of authentic guesthouses and hotels. However, the Levuka Homestay offers the most premium homestay of the bunch, based in a colonial-style home among lush tropical gardens. The homestay is ideal for solo travellers and couples with private double and twin rooms available. Breakfast is an event here where your morning is filled with freshly-made smoothies, fresh fruit, homemade muesli, a cooked breakfast, tea or brewed coffee. The staff are highly praised on the island, especially a local tour guide called Nox, offering insightful walking tours around Ovalau.
