Some of the closest luxury private island resorts to Suva can be found in the majestic Lomaiviti Islands, a mix of volcanic islands and reefs scattering the Koro Sea. Those staying on these islands will certainly get a more exclusive ambience than some of the busier tourist districts in Fiji, where there are only three luxury island resorts. We give you more information in this list of luxury accommodation in the Lomaiviti Islands, as well as alternative luxurious places to stay where you’re still bound to feel like royalty.

1. Wakaya Club & Spa
A private island resort located on 2,200acres/810ha of the 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 offers added extras, such as a private plunge pool and Jacuzzi bathtubs. Finally, the two villas are ideal for group gatherings and family reunions, where guests can enjoy their own tennis court and full use of the Wakaya Spa facilities.

The bedroom leads out to a spacious verandah looking out to a bay of the secluded Koro Island in the northeastern reaches of the Lomaiviti Islands. With a maximum of only 12 guests at any one time, Dere Bay Resort is the ultimate retreat for tranquillity. It’s the only resort on Fiji’s fifth-largest island containing wild bush tracks through rainforest, to waterfalls and volcanic peaks.

5. 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.
