Vatuwiri is the most active resort in the world. Why is that? …. Because we’re also an active copra farm, a cattle ranch, a large horse ranch, 1500 acres at the south corner of a beautiful tropical island paradise, a sunny beach, a private seaside cove, a rocky volcanic shoreline, a snorkeler’s paradise, a fisherman’s dream, an unparallel artistic inspiration, an ancient stone village, a wildlife reserve, a rolling plantation, a volcanic crater, a self sustaining community, a biker’s challenge, and the list goes on and on and on.... Here’s the incredible part... Every one of these activities is available on our resort estate! The garden island of Taveuni also feature spectacular elements not on our estate, such as waterfalls, hiking, additional crater climbs, village tours and various stunning scenic elements all within an hour or two of our base resort.




Every guest that arrives will leave Vatuwiri with his/her own most memorable experience, but its safe to say that our resort/ estate/ plantation/ reserve offers more unforgettable activities than perhaps any other in the world. That’s a bold statement so let’s start a running list but feel free to add your own activities to the list once you get here...

In addition to the above

Once Hop on Your Bike, Who Knows When You’ll Want to Return
We offer 7 to 8 miles of trails

You can also choose to exit the estate to visit Vuna Village, the ocean’s edge blow hole, many other beautiful beaches, coastal vistas and a host of natural island wonders.

An Archeological Treasure

Baudua was the Fijian village led by the once great Tui Vuna. He is considered by some to perhaps be Fiji greatest warrior chief. He was said to have an army so large that they were lined up at arms lenghth for miles from the ocean to build their fortifed, battle ready village when they passed up the thousands and thouands of stones to ensure their long-term safety.

With only the most basic of tools, they dug multiple layers of wide moats (15 feet wide and 10 feet deep) for sophistiacted defense and retreat staregies. This village was never conquered but ultimately fell to the cunning of a neigboring tribe as Tui Vuna’s son was kidnapped by a close relative who sided with the enemy and he surrended to save his son’s life.

Perusing the village today on our grounds will still yeild the occassional artifact from a time passed long. Long ago.




Climb, Hike and Enter Into an Island Eco-System

Taveuni is a volcanic island. In fact, today its status is considered dormant with the chance of future activity not beyond the realm of possibility. On our estate we have one of the island’s largest volcanic craters with a diameter of over a half kilometer in length. Now, more bush jungle than lava stone in appearance, you can trek to the top of this crater and down inside to the marshy bottom. It is an ecological beauty whose journey to its soul will remain with you for a lifetime.




Not far off our estate you can visit the South Cape and see the immensely popular “Matamaiqi Blow Holes”. Water from the ocean shoots through the volcanic rock and depending upon conditions and lighting can reach heaths of 100 ft or higher and produce magnificent rainbow effects.

No Need to be Afraid

The world has 7 varieties of bats, five of which reside in Taveuni and two of which are indigenous only to our island. Have no fear, they are all fruit bats. ? Locating their transient roost is in and of itself a fun hunt. Viewing thousands of bats, hanging upside down, is a remarkable sight. They are always located somewhere on the grounds but generally seem to find a new tree to hang from every few weeks or so. Witnessing them flying out of the volcanic crater like a giant, living black cloud will certainly leave you speechless.





Nothing Beats a Farmyard Sensibility

Vatuwiri is an economically viable copra farm and production facility. We also have a cattle ranch, large piggery, horse ranch and many other farm animals and activities. We grow our own vegetables and we are, barring fuel and a few other necessities, primarily self-sufficient. You are always welcome to chip in and join us for any/all of these activities to gain yourself a great perspective on sustainable living with nature.

How many do you want to experience? Well that depends only on how long you’ll want to remain here in Nature’s Paradise.
