Glorious Holiday Rentals on Taveuni
We get it, a secluded island dubbed the “Garden Island” such as Taveuni deserves the tranquillity of a private villa or holiday home. There are two types of villas available at this Fiji destination, those in resorts providing convenient services and activities and those that are more like a private home in your own piece of paradise. Whether you’re looking for a luxury escape or somewhere to enjoy a more independent holiday, we’ll go through some of your best accommodation options in this list of villas and holiday homes on Taveuni.
1. Raiwasa Grand Villa

If you do manage to pull yourself away from this five-star retreat, the staff can organise fishing, scuba diving, a pearl farm tour, bike riding and hiking for you. Needless to say, this villa makes a real treat for a special occasion.
