Vatulele Island Resort
{short description of image}
The development of a perfect tropical escape was the vision of Emmy-award winning Australian television producer Henry Crawford, and his creative partner, Martin Livingston, a fifth generation European Fijian. The result is Vatulele (pronounced ‘Vah-too-lay-lay’), on one of the southern islands of the Fijian group.

The Fiji group consists of more than 300 islands, spread over 1.3 million square kms (502,000 square miles) of ocean in the heart of the South Pacific.

There are 18 villas (bures) of equal standard. Some are further away from the central bure (located between 3 & 4) than others. The bures are around 50 metres apart and are set in natural jungle, allowing privacy.

The largest island in the Fiji group of islands is Viti Levu, and on the Western side of this island lies Nadi (pronounced ‘Nandy’) International Airport, just six hours’ flying time south-west of Hawaii or four hours north-east of Sydney, Australia.

Vatulele is the only five star island resort in Fiji with a PADI (“Golden Palm” status) dive facility and resident instructors. Vatulele offers a variety of courses: ‘Resort’ courses, full ‘Open Water’ certification courses, and various specialty courses. The resort can offer a cross-section of diving possibilities: soft coral, hard coral and pelagics.

Vatulele is well recognized for its food, ranging from Californian to Thai, Japanese, Austral/Asian and Indian. Fresh ingredients are flown in daily from Australia and New Zealand. Naturally there is an emphasis on seafood.

For many career-minded couples, organizing a wedding takes such enormous effort that the idea of ‘eloping’ can be very attractive, especially when the wedding can take place in the romantic setting of Vatulele.

It took two years to find the ideal South Seas location, and three more to enhance the natural beauty of the site with man-made luxury where stressed-out guests could escape the pressures of Western society.

Twelve doors open to an expansive terrace, and from the living room you walk up three steps to the bedroom, with a king size bed and a dressing area.

The villas or bures (pronounced ‘boo-rays’) are spacious and identical, enjoying easy access to the water, each with its stretch of white sand.
{short description of image}
Underwater visibility ranges from above average to excellent and there are few currents. The island is surrounded by deep water with large ‘drop-offs’, offering twenty-two dive sites within fifteen minutes’ travel.

The quality of the scuba diving sites at Vatulele has been one of the South Pacific’s well-kept secrets for many years, and only recently has it been revealed as one of the premier dive destinations in the region.

By night, tables are set under the stars and lit by lanterns and candlelight. At full moon, the ‘dining room’ is usually set by the water’s edge. Dining is usually communal, and hosted by the management - in the style of the Captain’s table on a ship.

Dress on the island is informal. Evening is smart casual, and footwear is optional at all times. Definitely no jackets or ties. The resort supplies hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, beach towels, snorkeling, tennis and scuba diving equipment. The gift shop stocks a limited variety of suntan creams, film and cigarettes. A pair of rubber soled shoes plus some reef walkers or waterproof sandals are recommended. Although the year-round temperature is warm, you may experience some cool evenings in the winter months (June, July, August). Pack some warmer clothes if your stay falls in this period, as guests dine outside year round.
