It’s time to go to Fiji and Likuliku Lagoon Resort stands out as a sanctuary of refined luxury and serenity, designed exclusively for adults. This remarkable retreat, situated on a wilderness island, is renowned for being the first and only resort in Fiji to offer authentic over-water bures. Surrounded by a pristine ocean lagoon and a protected marine sanctuary, Likuliku Lagoon Resort is a haven where nature and culture harmoniously intertwine.

From the moment you approach Likuliku Lagoon Resort by water, its traditional Fijian village aesthetic captivates the senses. The resort’s architecture pays homage to Fiji’s rich cultural heritage, with its central building designed in the form of a Fijian canoe house. This magnificent structure, featuring sprawling ceilings, hand-woven thatch, and a blend of natural and modern materials, serves as the beating heart of the resort.

The warm and welcoming spirit of the Fijian people is evident throughout the resort, creating an atmosphere of genuine hospitality and comfort.

The resort boasts 45 traditionally designed and styled bures, each offering stunning views of Likuliku Lagoon and the vast ocean. These bures are authentic Fijian architecture, crafted with natural materials and traditional features. Local Vesi hardwood floors, hand-carved wooden window pelmets, and hand-woven “magi magi” (woven coconut husk) art adorn each bure, along with Soga (palm) internal thatching created by artisans from the remote Lau Group of Islands.

Along the beachfront, 35 bures provide direct access to the beach and lagoon. Among these, 18 bures feature private plunge pools, while all beachfront bures include personal daybed retreats and private courtyards with secluded outdoor showers. These intimate spaces offer the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.

For a truly unique experience, the 10 over-water bures sit majestically above the coral reef, offering unparalleled access to the ocean. From their private balconies, guests can step directly into the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon. These spacious and luxurious accommodations provide a sense of tranquility and connection with the natural environment that is simply unmatched.
