    Holiday Sustainably

    Nukubati Great Sea Reef is a self-sustaining carbon-negative island resort in the province of Macuata in the northern Fiji Islands, where you can fulfill romantic and adventurous desires. Scuba diving on the pristine Great Sea Reef, the world’s third-largest barrier reef, is a major activity, including excellent snorkelling, fishing, and introductions to Fijian culture and traditions.

    Nukubati’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of island life.

    The owners of eco-chic Nukubati are proud pioneers of sustainable tourism in Fiji. Their resort is powered by the first and largest solar power plant in the country, which generates over 50 Kilowatts of electricity every day from the sun.

    Its fresh water is harvested rainwater, filtered, and UV-treated, ensuring a sustainable and reliable source of water for our guests. Hot water is produced by more than a dozen solar water heaters, reducing our reliance on non-renewable sources of energy.

    The island resort takes pride in its commitment to responsible waste management. All domestic and grey water is recycled, and sewage is treated using natural bio-cycle systems, with the refreshed and UV sterilised wastewater used for gardens. All organic waste is composted and used to grow their very own organic vegetables and fruits using tropical permaculture techniques.

    Don’t look for air conditioners or a swimming pool. The resort owners intentionally left them out to reduce carbon footprint. Instead, the buildings are designed to take advantage of sea breezes, providing natural ventilation and keeping everyone comfortable. Its swimming pool is the South Pacific Ocean, the largest swimming pool in the world!

    At Nukubati, sustainable tourism is not just about reducing its impact on the environment, but also about supporting the local communities and preserving their way of life. They work closely with local organisations in promoting marine conservation and sustainable tourism practices.

    Visit Nukubati for a truly sustainable and unforgettable experience.

  • Leleuvia Island

    Leleuvia Island

    Rising gently up from the Pacific Ocean and a mere 35 minutes fast boat ride away from the Central Eastern coastline of Viti Levu, lies a sparkling emerald green clad island gem, rimmed by golden sand, neatly sandwiched between two of Fiji’s most historically prominent cultural mantels, that of Bau and Ovalau Islands.

    Leleuvia Island Resort provides just the right amount of life’s necessities without spoiling your desert island experience. Here you’re free to indulge yourself in sensory depravation, far from the stimulus of a modern world. An artist’s retreat, a lover’s escape, a journeyman’s destination or as a waterman’s playground, Leleuvia can be many things to many people.

    Trade winds to soothe your soul

    Sway in a hammock to the beat of lapping waves. Meander the island’s jungle pathways to the shrill of bird-life or stroll its tree-clad shoreline. Walk the giant sandbank at low-water or free-dive and snorkel the waters as transparent as air or dive the Davetalevu Passage; do as much or as little as you like.

    Resplendent in history, rich in culture

    The Lomaiviti Island Group represents Fiji’s most prominent and significant in its history, Leleuvia situated between the Chiefly island of Bau, Moturiki and Ovalau islands, is poised as the perfect venue to base yourself to explore these islands steeped in mythology, warfare and ancient tribal rights, where you may discover and walk upon the very tracks made by the indigenous peoples of the land, its tribal warriors, high-chiefs, the first settlers and the missionaries.

    Waisiliva – the silver waters of Leleuvia

    The waters around Leleuvia are called Waisiliva – Silver Waters. Nightfall sees reflections and glimmers dance on the waters surface. With each full moon, we celebrate by lighting a bonfire on the islands beachfront, rekindling ancient urges and a connection with the elements and the power of forces which have served to shape this island gem and all that you see around it.

    Outrigger canoeing and canoe sailing

    As if to reinforce the intense historical significance of the region, outrigger canoeing and canoe sailing are but some of the water sports available as part of your Leleuvia experience, a sport and craft indigenous to the Pacific of deep cultural and historical significance, serving to perpetuate its presence.

    There is daily transfers to and from Bau Landing, using one of two 28’ powerboats: The ‘Leleuvia’, and the ‘Kawakawa’.
