Location

Taveuni Dive Resort is strategically located adjacent to the marina, allowing guests easy access to boat services with only a 15-minute commute to Rainbow Reef. Situated close to Taveuni Estates, the resort provides an authentic Taveuni experience while offering more privacy compared to developed areas such as Waiyevo or Matei. Surrounding attractions include a scenic nine-hole golf course and accessible recreational activities.

Diving Experience

The resort specializes in scuba diving, serving groups of divers looking for organized dive charters and experiences. With a gold palm 5-star facility designation, Taveuni Dive Resort offers a full set of dive courses, from Discover Scuba to Divemaster training. The custom-built dive boats deliver guests to some of the world's best soft coral diving spots in the Somosomo Strait.

Accommodations

Taveuni Dive Resort features eight comfortable bures, each named after a favorite dive site in Rainbow Reef. These accommodations provide privacy balanced with easy access to social areas like the Salty Fox Bar & Grill and the resort gardens. Each bure includes a lounge area, king-sized bed, converted lounge/couch bed, and separate bathroom facilities, accommodating two to three guests comfortably.

Dining Options

The Salty Fox Bar & Grill offers a diverse menu featuring local Fijian dishes alongside western favorites. Guests can enjoy cooked-to-order breakfasts and daily dinner options, with attention to dietary requirements. Positioned next to an infinity pool, the restaurant allows for a scenic dining experience after diving or during relaxation.

Sustainable Practices

The resort prides itself on being the first sustainable hotel on Taveuni Island, utilizing solar power and rainwater harvesting systems. Responsibility extends to local community efforts, providing employment opportunities within walking distance for village residents. A commitment to using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible reflects the resort's dedication to sustainability.
