Description

The flower island Taveuni, third-largest of the Fiji Islands, derives its magical atmosphere from its pristine beauty, the lush garden landscapes, its hidden lakes and waterfalls, its high mountain, its black and white beaches and from the genuine warmth of its people.

This island, a refuge for individualists, has become the home of German lawyer Jochen Kiess and his family who feel a deep love and respect for Fiji. It’s a perfect Hideaway offering adventure and relaxation, culture and the unique experience to meet the people who have been here since ancient times.

Maravu Plantation Resort is tucked amongst 90 acres of coconut groves, lush tropical rainforest and a golden sandy beach simply inviting you to relax and fill your soul with the spirit of an unspoiled live style.

Maravu’s friendly staff will meet you at Taveuni airport just after a 75-minute flight from Nadi over pristine coral reefs and rainforest mountains, and only 5 minutes later the Maravu magic begins. You will be welcomed with a complementary fresh iced coconut drink, beautifully decorated with tropical flowers.

The setting of the Resort is spectacular and you will share it with a maximum of only 40 other guests. Paradise is waiting to comfort you may it be finest dining with one of Fiji’s best wine list, world class diving in the Somosomo strait, tropical beaches with huge rain trees and palm trees swaying in the breeze, spectacular waterfalls, or the famous volcano lake. Indulge yourself listening to the birds singing and the beautiful Fijian language, refresh your senses by smelling the fresh and clean air, taste the pureness of food right from the sea and our organic gardens.

Maravu is rated by AAA Tourism ****(*) [4 1/2 Stars].

Maravu Plantation Resort was again chosen as No. 1 of Top 10 Best Luxury Hotels in the South Pacific and also No. 19 of the Top 100 Best Luxury Hotels of the World by TripAdvisor® in its 2008 Travelers’ Choice™ awards.

Every week we invite our guests for a Fijian meke (traditional dances) and Lovo feast where the speciality food is cooked in an underground oven.

The library offers a good selection of books about the Fijian culture, tropical flowers and also their bird and sea life. Maravu has a well equipped Gym and in the Spa you can enjoy Fijian massages and natural Body-wraps.

Sleep on a king-size bed covered by a white mosquito net canopy. Comfortable bathrooms are standard, as is the minibar. All Bures except the Planters Bures have air-conditioning.

In the Honeymoon Bures, Honeymoon Deluxe Suites and Oceanview Spa Villas, there is an outdoor shower in a secluded setting next to the private sun deck and a Jacuzzi.

Each of the 20 Bures is well-appointed, and beautifully decorated with Fijian artwork and paintings. And, wherever you look, flowers are spread out in their full bloom, liberally adorning your tropical home.

The bures are spaced apart on our 90 acre resort, so feel the privacy around you as you relax in the hammock on the verandah. And, lest you forget time, the gentle beat of the lali drum will remind you when delicious meals are ready for you to enjoy.

All Bures have air-conditioning and ceiling fans (except the Planters Bures which have ceiling fans and floor fans), fully stocked minibar with water, soft drinks, beers, white and red wine, champagne, chocolate bars and chips.

What our guests say!!!
"According to Tripadvisor Maravu Plantation Resort is rated as the # 1 most popular Resort/Hotel in Fiji since February 2005"

David & Evelyn Lyon: Excellent accommodation. Beautiful setting and lovely view to sea at Bure #10. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. It is easy to relax here. Loved the outside shower. Can’t do that in UK. Good tours. Especially enjoyed the waterfall trip. Excellent guides. Small number of guests good. Enjoyed cocktail hour. Our 25th wedding anniversary was very special with cake and Maravu Band Boys on our verandah. We were bowled over by the luxurious plants & flowers and loved the flowers in our bure. All staff are excellent. We were very impressed how everyone knew our names. We loved the coconut drink. Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday. We will tell our friends and hope to come again before too long.

Robert & Wendy Johnson: Everything done here during our stay was wonderful. The most special thing we found while here was being able to have our candle light dinner on the beach. It was perfect. The whole staff was very friendly and a pleasure to be around. We will greatly miss seeing everyone. Bubba was really great and went the extra mile to make our dinner special and fun. He was always pleasant and always told us stories about the Island. The greeting was great and we enjoyed the coconut drink. That was a nice gesture that made us feel very welcome.

Stephen & Badlee Vanafsheh: The bures are wonderful and the staff were the friendliest and most attentive and nicest we’ve met. Filo offered me her boots when I told her I needed shoes for the waterfall trip! Everything was lovely. We’d definitely come back. All your staff Koleta, Anna, Vina were superb. Check in – GREAT!

Kimberly & Bill Krammer: The bure was very beautiful. We love the spacious design and the warm feel and especially how it opened on to the deck. We appreciated the flexibility of the activities. We scheduled tours with short notice and changed our massage time at the last minute and were easily accommodated. Same day laundry service was a nice surprise. Cotton balls and swabs in the bathroom were a nice touch. The cd player and Maravu Band boys cd were very much enjoyed. We loved the beach bbq, it was a great way for guests to mingle. Complimentary horseback riding and gym were great. The chairs in the dinning area were very comfy. We loved the resort dog – a very friendly and well tempered canine. She would follow us home to our remote bure after dinner, seeing us safely back – so sweet. You have a good mini bar selection. The water tasted great. We liked the candle in the bure. We loved the beautiful walk to the bure. Lastly our compliments to the chef! The food was very good. We will recommend Maravu to everyone we know as a required stop on a visit to Fiji. Niu was a wonderful tour guide for both our tours pointing out local flora and fauna and customs and keeping us safe at the slides and waterfall. Setoki was also very helpful with general information for trips and tours and was always informative and friendly. Coletta was also very friendly and gracious at check in.

John & Heather: Service was exceptional and our needs and desires were satisfied at all times. The food was outstanding – portion sizes was perfect, and presentation was impressive. Setoki’s guided trips were amazing. He took such great care of us and demonstrated his knowledge of the water here which made us feel very safe with him. In general the activities were extremely fun and informative. Massages were fantastic – thanks Flo – Great job!! Setoki is an outstanding guide, warm hearted, good humoured. He took care of us and went the extra distance to make our trips with him exceptional. Niu showed us a great time at the tavoro falls and encouraged us to swim through the falls and jump off the ledge – what a thrill. Totally and beyond our expectations.

Alexander & Kara Smith: We loved the laid back style. The spa was wonderful, perfect for relaxing. The whole experience was very special. Thank you for our goodbye song & cake. The special touches in the bure is a lovely thought. Special thanks to Setoki for taking the time to show us that special snorkelling spot.

Jason & Molly McDonald: The staff was so very nice. They accommodated all of our needs and wants. Every meal we had was delicious. They seemed to be especially prepared for us. The landscape and grounds was always so neatly manicured. We loved the special touches of flowers everywhere. I could go on and on. Believe me when I say everything was perfect. There was always something new and fun to do each day. I really have no complaints or improvement strategies, although I cant wait to see any changes for the better during our next visit at Maravu. Lita and Tracy made us fabulous drinks. I met the chef and his meals seemed to be just what Molly and I were craving. Setoki took us home from Korolevu on a boat ride and we got to go through a rainbow, one of our highlights. I didn’t get everyones names but Flo gives the best massages. PERFECT!!"
