Find your spirit of adventure as you experience the magnificent beauty of a remote, unspoiled tropical Fijian Island, at Matava Resort. Plunging volcanic rain forest slopes meet azure coral lagoons and the Great Astrolabe Barrier Reef, a rare untouched slice of nature unfolds before your eyes. There are no roads, no noise, and no stress.

Matava Resort offers a range of eco friendly accommodation, in tropical surroundings. The spacious bures (Fijian bures) are constructed from solid sustainable Fijian wood and local materials are nestled amongst the rainforest to offer complete privacy. The bures are naturally cooled by the Fijian trade winds flowing through the louvered and screened windows and ceiling fans are powered only during the summer months. As there is limited mains power, the bures do not have telephones, tv’s, air conditioning or fridges. Enjoy solar-powered lighting and solar hot water. Mains power is available through the evenings for charging electronic devices and for the use of a ceiling fan during the summer months.

Dining takes place on the balcony of the ‘bure levu’, which is one of Fiji’s largest traditional structures. The restaurant serves a variety of cuisines while the fully stocked bar has a wide selection of local and imported beers, wine and spirits, soft drinks and juices.

Matava boasts its own organic vegetable farm and fresh filtered spring water. Picnic lunches or private dining on your bure deck can also be arranged. Each week Matava hosts a traditional Fijian “lovo” feast and Kava ceremony.
