The exquisite island nation of Fiji is a Melanesian country in the South Pacific Ocean comprising approximately 330 islands famously endowed with towering volcanic mountains, warm, crystal-clear tropical waters, spectacular coral reefs, tropical rainforests, coconut plantations, breathtaking waterfalls and, ofcourse, some of the world’s most pristine beaches. With its abundance of fascinating attractions, jaw-dropping scenery, warm and welcoming locals and cultural and sporting activities aplenty, Fiji is a paradise for nature lovers, culture vultures and sports enthusiasts alike. With over three hundred islands to choose from, Fiji is an amazingly versatile destination. Whether you are seeking a secluded romantic honeymoon retreat, a vibrant and boisterous backpacker island or a family-friendly resort, Fiji never disappoints.
Formerly known as ‘Sandalwood Island’, Vanua Levu is the second largest of Fiji’s 333 magical islands. Only a short flight away from the main island of Viti Levu, it is home to some of the country's finest luxury facilities, but it still manages to retain its atmosphere of wild, untouched remoteness. Hilly Vanua Levu is mainly comprised of dense rainforest, small coastal villages, and two disparate coastal towns on its north and south sides. Labasa, the island’s largest ‘city’, consists of little more than a single street lined with shops, while Savusavu, to the south, attracts yachties, divers, and holidaymakers looking for a quiet tropical getaway. Inland, visitors will find a verdant mountainous environment that provides a haven for some rare, exotic animals; while the heavily indented coast is fringed by an extensive system of coral reefs.
