Welcome Home esort R d n a l s I Vomo
Tiffany Carroll goes ‘home’ to Vomo where nothing is too much trouble and the word ‘no’ is not in their vocabularly. Blissful!
Understated luxury “When we arrive, our staff will be waiting to greet you with a traditional welcome song,” the boat captain tells me. “They will finish with a loud ‘BULA!” You must say “BULA!” even louder back, or we won’t let you in,” he winks. The boat transfer arrives at Vomo’s watersports hut, there’s a young family playing on the water’s edge, the beach is pure white sand and the water is a gorgeous aquamarine. But there’s no grand entry, no foyer and not many people around. “Welcome home,” someone says and I look up to see a big friendly Fijian man waiting to greet us. “Just leave your things here – you’re home. We’ll take care of the rest.” After washing the sand from our feet we’re guided along some stepping stones to a mini bus hidden behind the lush green garden.
