Waisalima Beach Resort

Posted by Frank B on Aug-27-2010

Waisalima Beach Resort & Dive Centre is set on approximately ten acres of lush tropical gardens and is situated on the beach right next to the Great Astrolabe Reef, one of the largest and most unspoiled reefs in the World. The resort is intimate, eco-friendly and a great place to getaway and we’re sure you’ll enjoy the world-class diving and snorkelling alongside the abundant sea life including sea turtles, whales and snapper or you can even snorkel with the Manta Rays at Buliya!
Waisalima itself is located on the eastern-most tip of ‘Fiji’s Natural Treasure’, Kadavu Island and set amongst a lush tropical backdrop of gardens and scenic mountainous terrain.
We have hammocks strung out all along the beach for you to relax in and the beach is literally at the doorstep of your bure!
The bures themselves are made in the traditional fashion and are very eco-friendly. The entire resort is solar-powered (we of course have generator backup in case of emergency) and facilities to charge electrical equipment such as your digital cameras and iPhones. If your phone is set to global roaming, you will also still have contact with the outside world via the Digicel network (only if you want to, of course).
Absolute beach-front bures are strung along the beach in a very pretty beach-garden setting, shaded by coconut palms and frangipani trees. A delightfully innovative blend of traditional thatch and coconut fronds have been used in the construction of all our bures.

Our En-Suite Bures are slightly more comfortable while still presenting a simplistic charm right on the beach. Along with wooden or decorated floors and attached bathrooms, it is spacious and airy.
Aesthetically appealing, the practical simplicity also provides comfort within. A good sleep is essential for our guests and we make sure our beds and bedding allow a good night’s rest. We pride ourselves in cleanliness in order for you to enjoy your stay at Waisalima.
Our bar is well stocked with Fiji Bitter, red and white wines and spirits which are always nice with our sumptuous meals.

Whether you’ll be staying for just a few days or are planning to take a long vacation at Waisalima Beach Resort, we’re sure you’ll want to return to its comfort, Fijian culture and warm hospitality.

Bedarra Beach Inn

It’s all here in Fiji and much, much more… but first things first. You need a place to stay! A place to use as home base while you fill your days with wondrous new experiences or laze them away by the pool or on the beach with a cocktail and a good book.

Bedarra Beach Inn – Fiji is just that place. We offer the personalized, intimate & friendly service of a small Inn with the luxurious accommodation, exquisite cuisine and special attention you’d expect from a large international resort costing twice the price.
Your first decision will be to select which type of room you’d like to stay in. We have two types at Bedarra Beach Inn; Deluxe & Standard. Here’s a description

Deluxe Rooms: A King size bed, en-suite bathroom & balcony, most with an ocean/garden view.

Standard Rooms: A King or Queen size bed, en-suite bathroom with either a private walled courtyard or garden view.

We also have one other choice which may be right for you…

The Deluxe Honeymooner: A King size bed, en-suite bathroom and larger balcony with ocean views. (Tell us in advance when you reserve this room and we’ll throw in a free bottle of bubbly!)

Our goal is to welcome you as guests, care for you as family and remember you as friends.

FIJI WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS

Posted by Frank B on Jul-26-2010

MARRY ME. FIJI WEDDINGS AND HONEYMOONS

Fiji is an ideal place for weddings and honeymoons says Hong Kong’s wedding planner – Gloria Mak.

Mak who is the business director of Veronalex International Co. Ltd visited Fiji last week to see what Fiji has to offer for overseas honeymooners and people who are planning to get married in Fiji.

Mak says with the aggressive promotion they planning to do will see at least five hundred couples coming to Fiji from Hong Kong every year.

“And so when we were developing products for overseas markets actually the first destination I thought was Fiji and also from the news thing that direct flights (Air Pacific) are going to be launched in December, I decided to come over and with our efforts and promotions more people will know about Fiji, more people will be interested in coming for honeymoon and their weddings.”

Mak believes Fiji has something very different to offer to the people of Hong Kong.

“Even if there are old chapels in Fiji, they have different characteristics and am sure it will suit a large part of Hong Kong market – many different tastes, so yes I am hoping that with corporation from all these resorts and also the chapels, we are hoping that we can promote as many Hong Kong people as possible to come to Fiji as overseas wedding destinations.”
Her visits to resorts include

Outrigger Resort

Radisson Resort.

“Fiji is an ideal destination for Hong Kong citizens just like Australia. Many couples would like to come over to relax on the sandy beaches, the reefs, the sea, and the sunshine because it is something people don’t get in Hong Kong,” Ms Mak said. “Fiji is similar to Maldives, which is a very popular holiday destination.”

She says the direct flight launched by Air Pacific last year is a plus for the people of Hong Kong as their present wedding destinations Greece and Maldives has become too common for them
