ITINERARY
Vatulele (pronounced ‘Vah-too-lay-lay’), is located on a spectacular island in the Fiji group. The resort is all inclusive and accommodates just 19 couples who are pampered by 110 staff.In keeping with the owner’s philosophy, there are no TV’s, newspapers, telephones, money transactions or shoes. Vatulele is generally acknowledged as one of the most outstanding ‘bare-foot’ luxury resorts in the world, and is well known for its amazing weddings as well as scuba diving.
Vatulele has been designed to ensure that your stay is carefree from the moment you arrive on the island. Vatulele particularly suits those who want to escape from the pressures of the Western world, yet still be able to enjoy five star standards. Each luxuriously appointed bure enjoys easy access to the water with its stretch of white sand.
Vatulele is well recognized for its food, ranging from American to Thai, Japanese, Austral/Asian and Indian—in fact, any style that suits the glorious tropical climate and laid back lifestyle. Fresh ingredients are flown in daily from Australia and New Zealand. Naturally there is an emphasis on seafood. Because of the all inclusive rate, there are ample opportunities to sample the contents of the first class cellar, including unlimited French champagne!
In the welcoming warm weather, meals are taken on a terrace outside the large central pavilion overlooking the lagoon. 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. There are also many private dining options for special occasions, or just a quiet night together. There is the wine cellar, in The Folly, or on the beach with moon and lantern light.
In addition to simple luxury, great food and fantastic wine, activities are ample at Vatulele. Snorkel in the crystal clear water and discover a whole new world beneath the waves, or you can enjoy hikes, picnics and visits to local villages.
