vacala beach matei taveuni island fiji
dive
Taveuni Island is home to the ​enchanting Rainbow Reef, which ​is consistently listed in the top ​10 dive sites IN THE WORLD!
This incredible dive site is a ​short boat ride from Reef Life, ​and our PADI certified dive ​instructors know it like the ​back of their hands!
swim
With an average water temperature ​of 27 degrees, you don’t even need to ​put on a scuba tank to enjoy all that ​Taveuni is famous for. Chuck on your ​bikini or boardies and go for a dip ​straight out the front, or take a boat ​ride to a deserted island and go for a ​snorkel and a picnic! If you’d rather ​stay dry, help yourself to one of the ​complimentary SUPs or kayaks.
explore
Waterfalls, volcanic lakes, stunning ​coastal walks, pearl farms, rare ​flowers, natural waterslides and local ​villages teeming with traditional ​Fijian life. Take a tour to any or all of ​these unique attractions, along the ​way you’ll see animals, stunning ​scenery, and our favourite, the ​happiest kids on earth playing, ​swimming, waving, and always,
always calling out BULA!!
fish
Throw a line in across the road or ​take a boat ride in our lovely ​Islander 23, Reef Life 1, to one
of our local guides’ secret spots. We ​have a huge range of fishing and ​game fishing tackle, and if you’re ​lucky you might even catch yourself ​a tuna, trevally, walu or mahi-mahi ​for dinner, YUM!! You might also be ​joined by a resident pod of playful ​dolphins or whales.
surf
Just a short boat ride away are ​Taveuni’s most consistent surf breaks ​at Maqai Reef. Here you can take your ​pick, depending on the tide, and your ​skill level, from the Maqai Break, the ​Bula Bowls and Kavas. For the more ​adventurous you can check out the ​Purple Wall, and the less adventurous ​can have some fun at Black Rock. ​Taveuni’s surf breaks are among the ​least crowded in Fiji!
relax
Once you’re done diving,
swimming, surfing, exploring and ​fishing, how about you just relax!
Read a book on the huge covered ​deck looking out over Vacala Beach, ​or under one of the many rustling ​palm trees around the property. If ​you’re feeling a little energetic you ​can grab a towel and take the long ​(30 second!) walk across the road to ​the beach and work on your tan, just ​don’t forget your sunscreen!
stay
Watch this space! We are in the process ​of turning the beach house into a ​fabulous holiday rental, complete with ​2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, gorgeous ​fully equipped kitchen, laundry, ​outdoor shower, and a HUGE covered ​deck overlooking the lush gardens, ​stunning Vacala Beach and Somosomo ​Strait. Think relaxed coastal living with ​comfy white linen sofas, luxury bedding ​and linens, an abundance of outdoor ​teak and wicker furniture, mixed with ​playful pops of colour and texture
for a bit of holiday fun!
