Description
Octopus Resort wins Lonely Planet "Editor’s Choice" Lonely Planet and Trip Advisor 2009 "Best romance"
"..... meticulous maintenance and constant evolution have fashioned a Shangri-La façade. Visitors are greeted with an oasis-like vision of a swanky bar-restaurant, which dishes up chilled tunes and fabulous food. The stylish bures are tiled and fan cooled and some have two bunks to accommodate families. The spotless bathrooms have roofless showers so you can stargaze while you wash"
Likuliku Bay - Voted one of the Top 10 Beaches in the World (Condé Nast Traveller).
Join us for a holiday experience of a lifetime experience real Fiji, just the way it should be.
Life in Fiji is lived at the simple pace where you have time to, literally, smell the roses.
Life here is pared back to its essentials: the time to enjoy good conversations, read a good book, sit and enjoy the sunset over a bottle of wine, a warm afternoon swim and enjoy a leisurely and delicious dinner with new friends.
Octopus offers a true break from the rat race, and gives you time to be yourself. Switch off without the pressure of mobile phones, emails, traffic, newspapers, TV, radio,meetings and the school run.
The minute you step onto the beautiful beach at Likuliku Bay you will be on ’Fiji Time’!
Octopus is the perfect place to be as active or as relaxed as you like....
The sunsets in Fiji are something really special...a psychedelic panorama to be enjoyed over a cold beer or glass of wine at the end of the day.
You will find some of the best snorkeling in Fiji, just step outside your front door. Our beautiful reef is only a few meters from the shore.
Octopus boasts some of the warmest friendliest smiling faces anywhere in the world. Guest tell us that the children thrive in this environment, you will find the kids exhausted, happy, sun-soaked and somewhere around here…
Location
Octopus Resort is located 27 miles from the Fijian mainland, on Waya Island, the largest land mass in the Yasawa Island Group. Octopus’s own water taxi, the Amberley, departs daily from Lautoka at 10 am for the 90 minute journey to Octopus and returns in the afternoon at 2.30pm.
Accommodation
We have twenty TRADITIONAL FIJIAN BURES, approximately half are located right on the beach front and the remainder about 5 seconds walk from the beach.
Bures can accommodate, singles, couples and families. Each bure has its own private bathroom featuring a commercial grade, environmentally friendly solar powered hot water system.
You’ll love our open roofed showers, they of course are completely private but offer that back to nature feel by being able to gaze up at the tree’s, blue sky or stars.
All BURES have a queen size bed and a single bed. There is more than enough room to add another single bed or a cot for an offer baby cots for use at no charge. Bures are lockable and we have a small safe in the office for your valuables if required.
"The stylish bures are tiled and fan cooled and some have two bunks to accommodate families. The spotless bathrooms have roofless showers so you can stargaze while your rates escalate as you get closer to the water but all bure have plenty of garden and space surrounding them for privacy" Lonely Planet Fiji® -2006
We’ve just built a brand new, four room beach front LUXURY ACCOMMODATION LODGE "Poppy’s Lodge". And a new 2 bedroom beach front lodge called "The Point".
For the convenience of families, groups and friends ,the lodges have the option of two interconnecting rooms if desired.
We’re often told that our 13 person DORMITORY is one of the best in Fiji. Our dorm is well lit, aired and cleaned daily.
Our dorm is equipped with single beds (no bunks) a quality pillow, mosquito net, bedside table, reading lamp and fan.
Dorm beds are supplied with fresh clean linen, towels and a beach towel on a daily basis.
