Exclusive Resorts

There are exclusive resorts, and then there are special hidden places that only elite travelers know about. Turtle Island, Fiji, has long been considered the gold standard for such resorts, offering 28 guests at a time the chance to experience something wholly unlike any other vacation on earth. It may be a tiny island, but its gifts are legion.

Your stay starts with a traditional Kava ceremony--the same kind guests participate in throughout their time here. Filled with roasted meats, sweet mangoes, banana leaves and more, these ancient rituals express the joy of life. Once weekly, there is a feast for all comers known as the Lovo, with huge, fresh fish and suckling pig slow-cooked for over five hours in a traditional stone-lined fire pit. Guests say they have never tasted anything so extraordinary.

Of course the real draw of this idyllic locale is the geography itself--500 acres of the kind of storybook vistas you have always imagined an island paradise should hold. Turtle Island is famous for its lush mountains, white sand beaches and sunsets that Condé Nast Traveler Magazine describes as "thick, horizontal smudges of violet, burnt orange and plum, fading into deeper and darker blue." There is nothing like it.

Do not deprive yourself of the chance to experience this singular resort destination. If you book early, you may even get your choice from among the island's eight exclusive private beaches. We look forward to hearing from you.
