Known as “the Hidden Paradise of Fiji,” Savusavu is a quaint and beautiful town on the island of Vanua Levu. A perfect place to get away from the pressures of modern living, Savusavu overlooks its own tranquil cobalt bay where innumerable sailboats and yachts find welcome harbour. Fiji’s distant mountains and welcoming snow-white beaches create landscapes of incomparable beauty, perfect for everything from mountain biking to golfing to sunbathing. Friendly locals and fascinating boutiques provide a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere in Savusavu, where sparkling waterfalls and swinging hammocks are some of the biggest attractions.
Here, the slower pace of an agricultural community with minimal tourism gives you a chance to enjoy small resorts and the personal touches they offer. In Savusavu, life still revolves around the production of copra and sandalwood and the harvesting of sea cucumbers. Islanders live quiet, contented lives and welcome tourists as friends. The sea in this region is so pure that it is ideal for cultivating pearls, and a visit to the local pearl farm can be a wonderful way to see how this industry contributes to the preservation of the crystal clear Fiji ocean environment.
Some of the best snorkelling and scuba diving in Fiji can be found near Savusavu, and expert dive schools and dive tour operators exist in the town. In addition, due to the town’s popularity with long-distance boaters, Savusavu boasts the sophisticated Savusavu Yacht Club and the Wai Tui Club, both excellent gathering places to meet an international array of visitors and dine on top-tier fusion cuisine.
Innumerable small, personal resorts in Savusavu offer diverse activities ranging from yoga classes to painting lessons, but what this pure, lovely and remote region is most famous for is the beach weddings couples enjoy under breezy palms. There is no more ideal getaway for honeymooners of all ages who wish to escape the bustle of tourist hot-spots and simply find a place where time stands still—a place where the rest of the world seems to melt away into the aquamarine seascape and nothing remains but unsullied beauty, genuine smiles, and perfect Fijian weather.
