The Remote Resort

My husband and I travelled to The Remote Resort for our 25th wedding anniversary in July/August, 2023 and it’s absolutely impossible to adequately describe the beauty, tranquility and shear perfection of this slice of heaven. We’ve previously travelled all over Viti Levu, the Mamanucas and Yasawas but this was our first trip north to Vanua Levu. It really is a hidden paradise where the sea meets the rainforest and it’s absolutely worth the extra travel to get there! The amazing resort staff made our stay the best we’ve ever experienced, not just in Fiji, but all over the world. The friendly, helpful staff, the beautifully designed and appointed bures, the heavenly massages and outstanding, attentive service are just some of the amazing qualities of this magical resort. We chose the daily massage package and highly recommend it! You can choose where you’d like to enjoy your massage ~inside your air conditioned room, outside by your plunge pool, on the grounds listening to the waves. Wherever you go, you’ll feel like you’re in heaven!! The “special” extras, luxuries and trea**ents you’re usually charged extra to enjoy at other resorts are all included in your stay at The Remote Resort. To say we felt like royalty for the entire week here would be a gross understatement! Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for the beautiful staff. One of the many examples of this was when I left my medication at home. I mentioned this in conversation to the driver collecting us from the Taveuni airport and he took us up to the local doctor to get me a prescription. He then arranged for the script to be collected by another staff member from Labasa ~over 2 hours away! I was just blown away and so relieved when my medication was delivered to my room very next day, no doubt saving our whole holiday!! Our room was perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect, private getaway. We stayed in the Royal Retreat and loved that it was away from the main building. Our private plunge pool was great for a quick dip, especially after snorkelling. Or you could skip the pool in favour of your private, outdoor, hot shower if you’d like to wash your hair! The indoor bathroom was even nicer again, with a great view of the water and double sinks to save waiting for your partner! There are plenty of activities and trips to choose from each day or you can spend your days in secluded paradise, only seeing people when you explore the grounds, visit the main building for meals/activities or use your room’s mobile phone to call for your meals to be delivered! I couldn’t possibly leave a review without a special mention of the mouthwatering, delicious meals, most of which are grown on the plantation or caught in the surrounding waters. Every meal was easily comparable to the best restaurants in Australia. The flavours and freshness of these exquisite creations was one of the highlights of the whole trip! One of the best things about the meals and snac

There are no perfect words I can use to describe this incredible place. It is a small, secluded boutique resort and is very special. Remote Resort’s house reef is outstanding, as is their staff, their food and their service. I love coming here where each unit has privacy, quiet and a little dipping pool. It is heaven. I can sit quietly and read a book after a snorkel adventure or other outing. My husband and I asked for a special snorkel excursion on the morning of our departure and they made it happen just like that! This was our third trip to Remote Resort. Each time they add something new. This year, they set up a full PADI dive operation and have added a massage and a spa pavilion. Zoe, Helen and Kim are all Dive Masters and experts on the Rainbow Reef, the Somosomo Strait and surrounding areas. They will take excellent care of you and show you the most amazing dive sites, private beaches, hidden bays and coves. Just Wow! The 8 villas are beautiful and well maintained. The staff and owners take great pride in what they have created here. All supplies are brought in by boat as there is no complete road into this resort. I am continually amazed at the food selection and delicious meal options. Every meal is beautifully plated and delicious. Each night, the resort sets up private dining tables for guests. It is obvious to me that the staff makes every effort to make your stay perfect for you. Just tell them if you are celebrating a special occasion or would like something special. The owner and management are on property and remain fully at your service. I am well traveled. I have experience snorkeling/diving in many countries. I am knowledgeable on the various resort choices in Fiji. I have stayed at Namale, Matamanoa, Qamea, Taveuni Island Resort and spa and seen Matangi. Hands down I would choose Remote Resort over and over again. I have not seen a house reef anywhere in the world like the house reef in front of Remote Resort. It is pristine and healthy. If you are looking for excellent food, service and personal experiences Remote Resort is perfect for you. If you are seeking pristine diving and snorkeling Remote Resort is for you. This is a very secluded, off the beaten path, truly amazing experience. It is a perfect honeymoon and anniversary spot and an excellent place to celebrate a special occasion. We feel like family when we come home to Remote Resort in Fiji.

My husband and I have friends on Taveuni island nearby so when we mentioned this to our travel agent, this resort was the only one she suggested. It was not very full - probably at most 6-8 other guests. The staff were reserved and not the usual Fijian smiles and Bula's we were used to but the service and food was good. Disappointing that the bar and only wifi available closed by 9pm. We would have liked to socialize a bit more but this place's vibe was more about doing your own thing with limited engagement with the staff and other guests. We only had an outdoor shower and a fair amount of rain (darn tropical cyclone Mal) so showering in the rain was a different experience. Also, the toilet is inside but sink outside so you need to go outside to wash your hands. There is no main pool and we had a two person plunge pool at our bungalow but the snorkeling off the resort was fabulous. Zoe the scuba diving master was very knowledgeable and one of the most friendly there. The scuba diving was excellent! Overall, if you want a place with good food and a small plunge pool to hang out with your hubby/wife or other and read a book at your lodging, this would be an option.

We just completed a 12 day stay and it was simply phenomenal. The rooms are absolutely wonderful. The beds are super comfy and the room itself is spacious. We loved having an outdoor and indoor shower, and we swam often in our outdoor plunge pool. Our favorite activity each morning was watching the sun rise from the lounge bed on our balcony. We also loved all of the snorkeling and the special chances to dine on the jetty. The food was outstanding. Every single meal was scrumptious and it’s some of the best food I’ve ever had on a vacation. Don’t miss the curry items and the wonderful coconut deserts. (My spouse is gluten free and enjoyed every single meal too). And perhaps our favorite part of the experience was the wonderful time spent with the staff. Thank you to Valaria, Sia, Jim, Maria, Vasili, Fay, Mela, Zoe, PK and the whole gang. You made us feel so welcomed and we loved laughing with you throughout our stay. We cried when we left because we felt so much gratitude for the kindness you showed to us. Vanaka (vaca levu) ❤️❤️❤️

Our stay was at the end of April 24 and it was amazing and exactly as pictured. We stayed 4 nights and ate dinner at a new location on the property every night. Our room was clean and beautiful, we opted for one of the units with AC as we came towards the end of the Fijian summer. The people who work here are so accommodating and nice. We went on the Manta Ray snorkeling tour and the snorkeling tour of Rainbow Reef, both of which were special experiences and we did see Manta Rays and then reef sharks at Rainbow Reef. I received a massage outside that was really relaxing especially with the sound of the waves. The food and drinks were culturally relevant and delicious. Needless to say we didn't want to leave and we miss it very much. Thank you Remote Resort! All of our love, Heather and Josh

It feels like coming home …. The Remote Resort is our favourite place on earth. After several previous visits, we already knew how amazing the resort is, but this trip was next level. Nothing at all was a problem, nothing was too much trouble, everything was so easy. The facilities continue to be impressive, with the housekeeping team performing their magic seamlessly and invisibly. The food, what else can we say other than the kitchen operates with a dream team. Every meal was outstanding, vibrant in taste, colour and presentation and every meal served with a beaming smile. The resort experiences are worth every penny. From the blissful massages and stunning house reef snorkels to the escape of the magical castaway days and the wonderful fishing trips. But above all else is the Remote Resort Team, the people who make you feel like you are the only people in the world. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. We miss you all heaps already and can’t wait to see you all again ❤️ Thank you again for

Simply the best. Ili and her staff made our honeymoon stay here unforgettable. From setting up private dinners around the property to coordinating dive and fishing outings, everything was done with simple ease and attention to detail. The food was superb, and service was perfect. We were seeking a private, secluded all-inclusive experience for our honeymoon and this was exactly that. We loved the ultimate spa upgrade, which gave us a spa trea**ent each day of our stay. We also loved scuba diving, it was so beautiful! Cannot recommend Remote Resort enough!

We spent 5 nights at the Remote Resort over Easter and it felt like 5 weeks. We were in snorkel heaven! The coral reef in front of the resort is healthy and vibrant, easily accessible from the beach at high tide, otherwise from the jetty at low tide. We also visited Rainbow Reef and had a memorable snorkeling experience there too. The staff are tremendous - full of smiles and laughter; nothing is too much trouble. Beautiful accommodation. Each villa has an outdoor shower, a large, partially covered deck with beautiful views and a plunge pool. For such a remote location, the choice of food and drinks was very impressive. The spa trea**ents are also worth exploring.

Perfect place to experience the beauty, Fiji Fiji culture hospitality. Beautiful reef, incredible diving, really good food, and top-notch accommodations despite the very challenging, terrain and difficulty to get to this location..
